 |
|
I have a brand new Dell Laptop Computer with a 24x CD-RW/DVD. I've got 800 MB and 870 MB CD's and I want to burn a movie that is 707 MB. I've used both RecordNow (Supplied with the Dell) and Nero Burning ROM 6.0 and both of them will not allow me to burn past 700 MB - they say the CD capacity isn't available past that...
What am I doing wrong...or is there a patch/fix that I need?

Unless their is a physical problem with your computer then it may be on how you have nero set up. Nero allow overburn, where you can burn more than 700 mb onto a 700 disk check your settings on nero this is where I reckon your problem lies mate.
Good luck. If that fails then you can always compress the file with winrar or some other compression utility, at least as a temporary workaround. |

Go to "Preferences" and look in "Expert features" (Nero)....enable overburn by changing the time limit to whatever the new CDs are. Look on the new CDs you have...they have a size and time on them. Enter the time in the field.
You also must choose "Disk at once" to overburn in Nero. Ignore the warning that will pop up when overburning, unless your burner indeed doesn't support overburning... |

Ahhh thank you...that did the trick. I did set the time limit before I came on here asking about it, but didn't know about the "Disk at Once" setting. I just did it that way and it worked like a charm....SALUT!

My burner doesn't support overburning. 
Wish it did, with all of the great DIVX movies out there online. |

| Burners are dirt cheap right now. Samsung 352b is a nice drive...a combo drive. Not that you need a DVD player, but why not? It runs about 50,000~60,000 right now. Supports overburn and all the goodies. 8MB buffer as well. |

I recently bought some 870MB CDs and got 830MB overburned onto a few. I think that NERO has a cieling in the program...870 is higher than it goes. Gave it a short circuit or something....couldn't get over that 830 hurdle.
I burned both compilations and single-file CDs...same results. |
