I was wondering if anybody has tried overburning a DVD and what results did they get + did it damage their burner? The discs I use say the capacity is 4489MB on Disc but I want to burn 4555MB. Would this be a major problem? Trying to burn an extra 66MB? Burner I'm using Lite-On SOHW-1693S KS0B + Nero 6.6.0.15
Even if using top notch media and a great burner, I would still not burn more than 4400MB. Too close to the edge will give you a failed burn, or burn it, but render the disc unplayable. Run it through DVD Shrink/Nero recode and reduce the size a bit.
It's not that type of file, I'm burning data (avi files). I have managed 4500MB before but I don't want to push it too far in case it wrecks my burner.
From what I know, ,overburning does stress your burner a bit more, but not to the point of damaging it if you insist in overburning and your burner is capable,make sure you don't put on that disc data that you don't want to use, as the disc might not be recognised in some players.
