Overburning is very risky, as when ya get scratches on the CD, it can be much more difficult to retrieve the data. Just buy a plain 870MB CD and see if your CDRW copes with burning it...

He already said he has 90 min CD, I guess that more than 700 MB, but I always tought that you have to tell nero to overburn or it will anyway use only 700 MB and won't burn more than that in normal mode.. am I wrong?

Well, of course I read it. I got Nero with my CD burner and I tought you always get nero with a CD burner... and if you can burn CD you should have a CD burner

I didn't get nero with my PC, or burner so i just had to find a "cheaper" (read = free!) copy of nero.


PS... my connectio/isp/cost topic is doing alright atm

I know i have been asking for quite a bit of help recently, but look at it like this. If, in the future, somebody wants help, i may be able to pass on the wisdom i have obtained in this thread

There are some cds that are 90 mins which that is 800mb. I had some of those but used them all up. When you use 700mb and nero asks you to overburn, its not the best thing. I have done it and it burns your file (in my case it was a video) but the last part of the vid was cut lol. The safe thing to do is "Finalize CD." Overburning should only be done if you have the 800mb cds.

Nero will let you overburn, however, it is unpredictable what can happen. As I said, my video file was not complete when I overburned it. I never tried it on anything else though...


Glad to help people in need
