Zxian Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 The method you're describing is called OverBurning. It is possible in Nero (without any patches), but I wouldn't recommend pushing 760MB, as you may damage your drive. I think the DriveSpeed utility in Nero can tell you how far you can push your OverBurning limits. Run the tool and then set it to the next lowest minute (it'll give you a time index).See if you can 7-zip some of your installers. keyotime has made a great tutorial here that will not only make the installers silent (no need for switches in the batch file/RunOnceEx/whatever), but it will also help shrink some of the installers to a more useful size for your CD.

coucou Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 TNX guys for yr helpI 7-zipped some applications and downsized to 710MB.I'm not familiar with Nero, i'm using Roxio 7. I didn't find any overburning settings in DriveSpeed utility Here bellow my Expert options enclosed image Does 82 min Maximum CD Size means 700MB???How to adust it??? in other world What size for a min, sec, fm???Is there any other Nero adjustement???Regardscoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well... you can probably do the math yourself.700MB/80min = 8.75MB/MinThat means that if you set the overburn to 82Min, you'll get a CD with a maximum size of ~717MB. I'd still run the tests to see the limit of your drive. Every drive is unique in this department (even drives of the same model).Did you also look at the last little setting right below Overburning? That'll get you a little more space on the CD as well. Sorry, it's not the DriveSpeed tool, it's the CD-DVD Speed. Look under Extra->OverBurning Test. That will tell you how far you could push overburning, but I wouldn't use that number as the limit since you run the risk of damaging your drive.Hope this helps!

coucou Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well... you can probably do the math yourself Exact!!!The overburning was setted to 82 min as default. I setted it to 84 min and i checked Enable geneartion of short lead out ("little setting right below Overburning")NO change: I have 2 burnes (LG (CD-RW) and NEC (DVD-RW)I get with both drives the following error message:There is not enough space to burn compilation onto this diskData to be written 706 MB (740 626 432 bytes)Space available on the disk 702 MB (736 970 752 bytes)Regarding CD-DVD Speed, I can't write anything in Extra->OverBurning Test-->Test Capacity Regardscoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Just a note about overburning - you need to burn the disc in "Disc-at-once" mode instead of "Track-at-once".As for the CD-DVD Speed test - do you have a blank disc in the drive? You need a blank disc as a dummy disc (since it simulates burning) for the test.Do the test before you set your over burning settings in Nero. Otherwise there's a good chance you'll end up with a failed disc or a busted drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coucou Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 TNX Zxian,I got it... by burning the disc in "Disc-at-once" Regarding CD-DVD Speed test, sure i've put a blank disc in the drive, but still I can't write anything in Extra->OverBurning Test-->Test CapacityRegardscoucou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Have you made sure that the drive listed in the main window of CD-DVD Speed lists your burner drive that the blank disc is in? If you've got multiple burners, you need to select the drive before testing overburning capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxian Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well... if you could burn your CD, great. Just don't push your drive too far, otherwise you'll end up with no drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
