Buring problem single, everyone, problem, search

Hello everyone,

Okay, I've used the search button and I found out 800mb = 80mins and 740 = 74mins.
I can't find a single instruction how to foolproof it.
Can anyone help me? I know lots of people having the same problem but every thread I've read doesn't tell me how to do it!
I've attached an image saying that 800mb is too big for my 700mb cd! Please help me! I'm trying to place vcd onto a cdr!

foolproof it? You mean you want to know the exact size you can put on a CD?

Let's do the math:

75 Sectors/second X 80 minutes X 60 Sec/min X 2324 Bytes/Sec (mode2) = 836640000 Bytes = 797.88 MB

You also have to factor in the VCD overhead. It's around 1 MB for SVCD, so I assume it's around the same for VCD. So as long as you keep your movie .mpg size below 796.9 MB it should fit fine.

Of couse, almost all CDs can be overburned by a few MB so I wouldn't worry too much if it's a little over.

EDIT:

I think miss read your post a little. I'll wait for your image to be attached.

You have to activate overburning in the advanced settings and specify a max. amount of overburning. It is mentioned e.g. in this thread: showthread.php?s=amp;threadid=32458.
Some (older) versions of Nero won't overburn even if you activate this, and some rare cd-r drives are not capable of overburning, though.

starting up with the version 4.0 nero can overburn the cd-r. It is only limited by the hardware of burner. The 2x/4x burner of SONY can max burn 79m30s on a 80min cd-r, the same do the HP 4x and some 8x burners because the have the same hardware kernel. The early follow-ups of SONY/HP burners have solved such problem but still have a limited ability of overburning. The newer drives of SONY/HP are OK.

But madcat_ninjamaster has a LG-Berner wit 32x speed which I also use, it can overbur up to 100min if you insert the proper cd-r.

The only thing you have to take care is the writing speed, a cd-r for 48x is not for overburning with 48x. I use 8x(the min. speed of LG-Burner) to burn up to 81m58s(data size, not playtime) svcd on Platinum 80min cd-r(40x/48x, spindle), at 4x I could put slightly more data on it(82m15s with a old LB-Burner). But you can burn over 82m30s data on a Verbatim 80min cd-r at 8x. So the quality of cd-r is also important. The most noname or not-famous cd-r have the worse ability as the Platinum cd-r to overburn.
