Like the other reviews state, 90 mins isn't standard spec therefore a lot of writing software doesn't support it. This review is from: Verbatim 43586 CD-R High Capacity 800MB 25 pack (Accessory) I have now added to my original review a very helpful method supplied kindly by D Brown which will allow you to overburn without too much effort, and i can confirm does work on all 90 min cds :. be prepared to spend time and money or just buy 80 min cds.which are much less expensive if you can be bothered to search out how to put 90 mins on one cd then buy is a lot of effort.dont think you can just buy these and put 90 mins on, you need to check out if you can overburn using the machine and software you have already. Just be careful not to put anything on them that you can’t afford to lose.Unless you have the correct burner and software these discs will only burn 80 mins. If you just want to play with 99 minute CDR’s, that’s fine. This is not to mention the compatibility issues involved with CD players and CD-ROM drives.
The same is true with 99 minute CDR’s, except instead of exploding they just fail. It’s an accident waiting for a place to happen. Stretching it to 80 meters by thinning the pipe walls would eliminate the safety factor built in and would be at the outside limit of a higher risk product. They are in fact buying an inherently low quality product that is likely to become unusable.Īs an analogy, think of a high pressure pipe that was designed for a maximum length of 74 meters with reasonable safety. These discs are marketed to the unsuspecting who are attracted by the idea of extra capacity. In order to get the maximum capacity, the safety factors in the specifications and manufacturing tolerances are disregarded. 99 minute CDR’s are the lowest quality discs being made today, and are likely to fail at a later date if they can be read to begin with. Overburned CDR’s are inherently inferior and lower in quality that a disc recorded within the red book design specifications. The disc may be readable in both cases unless it didn’t have enough overburn capacity to begin with. It may not time out and keep on blinking until you have to reboot to stop it. The burner may run for an extra couple of minutes until it times out.
Some burners may not recognize that the disc is finalized due to the nonstandard area that is used for writing. Overburning can stress a burner because it is writing in the area reserved for the lead-out. That is just standard “cover your ass” language in case you do something stupid or try to blame Nero for some misfortune. I wouldn’t worry about damaging the burner.
