Plextor has a utility bundled with their CD/DVD burners that allows you to fit more than the published 700mb on a CD. Are there any other programs that will allow this?

For overburning, have a look at http://www.feurio.de .
Feurio is able to test the overburn capacity of a disc.
I have experience with Nero, Alcohol 120% and Burnatone.
All have the overburn feature and are very user friendly.
A note of caution to readers; your burner MUST support overburn,
otherwise you may damage your burner.

Be careful with your overburns!

A disc has a stated capacity of 700MB.

Now when a disk is written it starts on the inside and goes out to the parameter of the disk. Now the further out you get beyond 700MB the less chance you have of actually having viable media to write to. Beyond that actual standards write able surface companies that make CDs do not care about the quality so there is no guarantee what you write there will be readable.

At 50 cents or less a CD I would recommend writing two instead of risking having a coaster.

As overburning is sort of undocumented will a manual tell you if the burner supports overburning?

Good software, Nero should be able to interrogate the burner firmware for that answer and tell you.

I would think so. From what I’ve read, most burners today,
are capable of overburn. Fuerio will (reliably I understand) tell
you if your burner and media are capable of overburn and by how many MB’s.
http://www.feurio.de/English/Writerdb/e ... l#OVERBURN

When media was fairly expensive overburning was a sought after feature.
With the exception of KVCD encoded films, why would you need to overburn?
We’re only talking about a gain of perhaps 2%.

Occaisionally I come across an ISO file just over 700mb. It usually runs from the CD and I'm looking for a way to make it work.

Anybody know how many minutes 752MB is for the overburn option?
