Borrowed a data disc off a M8 730mb 80min, which I stored on my HD. When I try to write to another 730mb 80min using Nero
the disc is ejected as not large enough. I have tried Overburn but that makes no difference. any suggestions, or is there another
writing prog that will do the job.

Could just be that whatever brand CDR the original used it is capable of being overburnt further than whatever you are using.

Nero overburns fine for me, providing the media can handle it.

To overburn, you must have it enabled and the time set to at least what you are trying to overburn.

You must also be burning in DAO... Lastly your burner must support overburning.

The CDR I am using are Infiniti Professional and are not 700mb but 730mb, Nero fails to recognise the enhanced size. How do they recognise the even larger 90minute CDR?

It depends on what and how its been imaged ?! if its a psx/game type disk then more often than not it will 'appear' to be too large for the disk! Most of the time you will find it will no doubt burn fine to disk sometimes with freespace left too :)

Just use the same program you imaged it with and use the same settings/profile to burn it test with a CDRW if you have one handy or try just doing a test burn if your burner supports this !? :)

Alternativly use an image tool such as isobuster /cdmage etc etc and extract the data and split it over more than one disk if its not hugely important stuff that has to stay on one disk (example lots of pictures/music etc) that can be spanned over a disk or two :)

@bareface I can tell you for sure that Nero will recognise Infiniti Professional reference series cdr's 99mins. As pointed out by celtic_druid your burner must support overburning for this to show up in Nero or any other burning aid you use.
Look here to see if you drive is supported, mind you many new drives have not been added..

Never used a 90/99min CDR that actually had the nominal capacity listed as 90/99mins in their ATIP, they are always have ~80mins listed, it is just that they can be safely overburnt to 90/99mins (with the right equipment).

Also a 90min CDR is 780MB's and 99 is 870MB's. Not seen 730MB ones.

OK guys,thanks for suggestions, so far. Although new to this forum, I have been writing CDR`s since they cost £7.50. Just goes to show we continue to learn. The data I am trying to write was drag and dropped from the original 730mb discs and is 710mb in size. I could not find by Benq 24 speed writer on the list at Media International, suggested by RASTABT but noticed that Pioneer 104 DVD writer, which I have on my other PC was listed
Tried that with the latest Nero and a 730mb blank ( I assure you they do exist ), still no success. My two PC`s are cable networked together.

Did you check if overburning is enabled and set to 90 min in Nero's options?
Did you select "Disc At Once" in the burning dialog?

I thought my reply to Duracell might give the impression, that I had at last cracked this one, oh no not yet! Do you Gurus out there have any more tricks up your sleeves.

Could be because you are using an OEM serial and overburning is disabled. Because if you have satisfied all the above criteria then when it pops up the message about not having enough room, you should be able to select burn anyway or whatever.

I don't know anthying about Nero, but only a few weeks ago I used a 730 mb cd with Burnatonce, when my normal data burner refused to do the job.

@ BVV

Pat yourself on the back M8, Did it at last!!!!!. I thought there must be someone out there who had seen and experienced 730mb CDR. Burnatonce what a good little prog, and freeware too, I had tried 3 commercial progs with no success. thanx BVV and everyone else who offered help.

Glad I joined this forum.

CDRDAO which is the heart of BAO is good, but not 100% reliable for overburning. The ultimate application for such jobs is Padus Discjuggler which gives a comfortable +60 seconds over ANY other application, due to its unique 30 seconds RAW leadout feature. The CD's burned that way are not totally compliant to book specs, but they don't have any trouble to play in any MS-OS starting from 98SE, as well as most (all?!) standalone CD players.

Sounds fine for overburning " normal " size CDR, allowing those extra seconds, but will it recognise 730mb CDR as such, and not think they are 700mb (as EasyCD,NTI and Nero do). I have written 2 x 730mb CDR using BAO @ 8 speed so far, so can not speculate % success.
