I have just bought an msi ms-cr52m cd burner it came with nero burning software, when I am tring to get info on an 800mb media, it is only showing that it is 700mb, but the drive is suporting 800mb, what it wrong.
I hope that someone can help me.

I'm sure this was on here somehere too, but it's slipped me at the moment....

So here it is again!

Current "80 plus" / 90 / 99 minute media identifies as 80 minute - there is apperently a move to 92 minute (max) "non-overburn" media, though that breaks the standards in other ways.
Do NOT use > 80min media unless you need to - it's a stretch which does impair quality.

PS. Welcome to the forum, but please read the rules and post in the appropriate place - a moderator will probably move this out of "NEWS" to somewhere more appropriate

I have never tried myself but I once searched for information about 90-min CD-R and ran into a long list of CDR/DVD drives support or not support CD-R larger than 80-min.

IOW, besides the software it also depends on the burner.

Are you trying to do an overburn in mode2? --this can fit about 100mb more on a regular 700mb cd. There are some nice programs besides nero that can acomplish this.

Mode2 Form2 isn't really a good idea except for certain media files. Definatly not data.

As said 90/99min media still specifies ~80mins in the ATIP, it is just that you can safely overburn (with the correct hardware) to 90/99mins, unlike real 80min CDR's.

I am sorry if I had written my question the wrong place, but it is an new drive.

Firstly in Nero go to files-preferences-advanced here you can set the overburn time to whatever you want. when you next try to overburn an alert box will come up saying do you want to overburn , you just select continue. for some reason i seem to remember it will only overburn in disk at once mode?

Yes - and the Wizard ALWAYS puts you in start or continue multisession (when writing a data compilation), which prevents you selecting Disk At Once - this should not be a problem in copying or audio selections though.

If you MUST make a >700Mb data compilation then a non-Wizard adjustment is required.

Remember, though, 650Mb media was the standard, 700Mb bends the rules by going right to one edge of available tolerance, and anything larger breaks the rules - typically the spiral pitch may be tighter (making tracking more difficult) and the velocity may also be lower (making pit sizes smaller, and less accurate).

Treat >700Mb media as a reserve for when you MUST have that extra capacity, and not as day to day burning fodder.
