|
noamkrief Mar 29, 2003, 07:19 PM What's the deal with overburning? I have a file that's 720mb.... Can i overburn? How can I do it safely? Slower burning speed? 4x maybe??? Any advice would be appreciated... Thanks Noam duffy90210 Mar 29, 2003, 07:46 PM You really should know where to post this as a senior member ... Moving to CDR/CDRW forum... green_blade Mar 30, 2003, 05:44 AM The burning speed doesn't matter, it's basically the size. It varies from CDR to CDR, you can normally get away with up to 710 so you'll probably struggle with 720 and create a lot of coasters trying. Is there anyway you can cut the file down slightly ? VincentVegeta Mar 30, 2003, 03:50 PM yes, the burning speed does also matter, you will usually be able to overburn more at a slower setting, and 720 megs is probably around the max u will be able to overburn celtic_druid Mar 31, 2003, 03:11 AM You could also just use a 90/99min CDR. fawlty Mar 31, 2003, 06:44 AM Assuming your hardware is capable use a 90min CD. Burn in test mode & see if it completes OK first. 720m is pushing it on a 80min CD. celtic_druid Mar 31, 2003, 09:59 AM Well if the hardware isn't capable of burning 720MB's onto a 90min CDR then it is hardly going to be capable of doing the same on an 80min one. fawlty Mar 31, 2003, 06:08 PM That's quite correct - which is why I didn't suggest using a 80min CD. If your hardware can't overburn then it's a waste of time anyway. |
