Over burning

Hi all,

I got a PCG-GRT 816M and I'd like to know if overburning onto its CD driver is supported. Did anyone try to burn a CD-ROM of 900MB with success and without drawback for the CD driver?

Thanks

Zico

I have the same maschine

Hi joe, what do you mean with "what I've burned so far?". Do you have burned more than 700MB (i.e. 84m) with your driver or not? If yes this means that the Vajo CD-RW supports overburning

Thx

Zico

Yeah I have seen people making 837MB VCDs of their holidays and I've always wondered how they fitted it on, strange really, some sort of compression that brings it down to 800MB, which apparently you can get CDs to burn onto which are 800MB

its not "compressed" as such, the space on a compact disc is marginally taken up by error correction. By "overburning" into the space reserved for error correction greater capacity is possible. However be warned with no error correction the slightest imperfection will result in at least some CRCs and possibly an unusable disk.
