Hello! I have a quick question- Most of the stuff I download are 705 - 718 MB so they don't fit on a 700 MB cd... OUCH. What can I do? These things already have credits chopped off so there's nothing to cut! What program can I use to open the files, reencode the last minutes on lower quality and copy the rest not reencoded? If virtualDub, how? Thanks a lot.

Can't you overburn?

Overburning? Nero just goes "not enough room to blah blah blah" I guess I can turn that off... but what are the chances that I will be able to see the vids after??? Besides I am using low quality cds.

Fist of all try to burn the cd in disc at ones mode and see if nero complains about the size? because when you choose disc at ones there will be couple of mb extra for burning data on. and if that dont help try to burn with overburn and see if it works. and if it dont you have only lost one cheap cd so its not the whole world. and if everything fails try to cut the movie in 2 parts and burn on 2 cds. or dont burn

@ facundo I tell you something: almost every CD-R that I burn (not necessarely known brand CD-Rs) is overburned and *ALL* work fine (and all were burned with max speed, in my case 12X) You may get problems burning 718MB though, most CD-Rs will accept "only" 715MB, some of them will accept uo tp 720MB though (this is no rarity, every CD-R brand go up to a given limit) You can find the limit of your CD-Rs using the overburning test of Nero (in Nero CD Speed)

Are you sure they are 705mb-718mb or 705,xxx,xxxkb-718,xxx,xxxkb? If the latter they will fit just fine. Right click in windows and select properties to see the "true" mb size. ;)

only to the completion, is a list about the capacity of CD-R`s :) and look on the site there is a list wich burner are able to overburn a CD-R. DagMan

Thanks people! I've tried CD test and I don't understand well because it says "Disc Capacity 79:59.74, 703 MB" but I run the test and it goes without problems till 89:57.74 but it doesn't say how many megs that is. In nero I tried using 89:57 but it says the max is 85. Ok, I used 85 and burned a 708 MB cd but 85 seems to be over 800MB! can that be right? Won't my recorder blow I I give that a try? Thanks again

If it goes without problems over 89 minutes, you may be having an 800MB CD-R, since I don't know any 700MB CD-R that goes over 83 minutes. Use this to calculate the capacity corresponding to the time display: seconds x 150KB = capacity in KB (divide through 1024 if you want MB) For example: 81min30sec These are 4890 seconds. So Capacity = 4890 x 150 = 733500 KB = 716,3 MB

thanks everyone. So far I've tried recording 816 MB and everything went fine. As for cd and/or burners lists I can never find mine but I just have to keep trying to record bigger sizes until I get a coaster. 8P I'm not recording in mode2 and I'm gonna keep it that way for the time being but thanks for that info. bye!
