i was just wondering if it was safe to overburn a cd. also what can you over burn a cd to? how many megs?
It's usually safe with high quality discs. I have overburned many audio CDs and they all play fine. The amount you can overburn depends on what disc you are using. Some programs will allow you to simulate a burn to determine how much you can overburn. Of course, your burner has to support overburning for it to work at all.
okay i'll look into it but like whats the max amount around- is it only like a few extra megs? or is it alot like 100megs?
100 megs!?! Only if you're using 90-99 min. discs (which are sub-standard discs not widely supported). If you're just using the standard 74-80 min. discs then it's only like 10-25 megs.
so then i guess theres no point- i just heard in the glossary that there was a way to over burn a VCD to hold 99 minutes (i guess you need the rare 100 minute cds for that)
Well now... VCD is a compltely different story aint it hehe... i *did* say DataCD hehe... for VCD your capacity is on the order of a theoretical cap of 106 minutes per vcd.
some burners allow high density burn which allows u to hold twice as much on one cd, u might wanna google for more info
