space.

What burner are you using?
What Software?
I use Nero 5 to overburn on 700mb CD's and works fine.
1. Make sure your Burner supports Overburn :

How do those thing "overburn" anyway? I've always wondered that. I mean if the thing says it has a 700mb capacity, then how the heck is it able to put more than it's capacity on the blank CD?
yeah, i wondered that. how do you get a pint and a quarter into a pint bottle? ;)Quote:

Overburning works by using the lead-out area of the disk. See http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq03.html#S3-8-3 for details. Choice of burner and software plays a big part in it.
Jeff's right. However, some older CD-ROM drives won't read the CD, so watch out for that problem. Just a random thought... :)Quote:
