Writing data to 900 mb CD ?

[Pirate]

I tried with Nero 6.0 and also the burner integrated into XP but both tell me that the data (718 movie) is more than 700 Mb so I can't burn that cd . The cd is empty 900 mb though .

How can I burn 718 or more to 900 mb cd ??

Might check for a nero update to see if they have added support for that size cd.

From Nero

Your CD Recorder must support the overburning feature. The Recorder must support this type of media as well. Some recorders support 80min media but will not support 90min or 99min media. You should make sure you have the latest version of Nero, though this is supported from Nero 5.0 and above.
And you need to have the latest firmware for your model recorder, as it will contain information to enable overburning, but most importantly, it will contain Read/Write strategies for new CDR and CDRW brand of media and can resolve many issues you may otherwise run into.
You MUST burn in Disc-At-Once or Disc-At-Once 96 write mode or you can not Overburn. The mutlisession mode is not possible, if you want to burn such CDs.
You MUST enable overburning in Nero's File - >Preferences -> Expert Features, or if you have Nero Express, do so from More -> Configure -> Expert Features.
And you must deactivate/disable Check for correct disc format from within Neros Files -> Preferences -> General, or from within Nero Expresss More -> Configure -> General settings.
When you enable Overburning in Expert Features, you should use the below settings based on the size of media you are working with:
For 80min media set to - 82:00
For 90min media set to - 89:30
For 99min media set to - 99:54:74

Thanks Cander . I tried all the settings above but still gives me the same message . Do you know how to check if my recorder supports overburing ??

Well to test the settings for the CD

"You can use Nero CD Speed utility to find out how much capacity exactly there is on a disc. Nero CD speed is part of the Nero Toolkit which you can find in the Start -> Ahead Nero -> Nero Tool Kit start menu. Once you have Nero CD Speed launched, go to Extra ->Overburning Test to get the results. (Must have media in recorder before you begin this test) "


Other than that, you need to check with the cd rom manufacturer to see about overburning support. and get latest drivers for it as well.
