Nero Problem

Frodo Baggins · Post by **Frodo Baggins** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 4:05 pm

I want to copy a 240 mintue disc, but I am having a little problem with Nero. Here is the problem, a window pops up and says

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to post an image of the problem, but it looks like I am going to have to type the problem.

"There is not enough space to burn this compilation onto this disc"

"Please insert another disc that provides more space"

"Data to be written 7,736MB"
"Space available 5,120MB"

This window pops up when I put the 240 minute disc in.

In nero there is an option for Overburn. Go in and check the settings to make sure you have it enabled and not disabled

If you open Nero it will be Under File/Preferences/Expert Features

Enable Overburn

Looks to me that your trying to write a 7.8 meg file on a regular DVD.

If that's the case you either need to shorten it, or use a duel layer DVD if your burner supports it.

I understand a few megs, but a couple gigs of overburn? Not going to work here...

Well it can't be 7gb of data. No CD would hold that much. Im thinking he means Its 700MB CD and the data is 707MB the CD has 5MB of space left so he can do a 2MB overburn.

When I enable the overburn option. I window says the following.

"This compilation contains too much data to on the disc with respect to the normal disc capacity. Do you want to overburn writing at your own risk? (This
might cause read errors at the end of the disc or even damage your recorder.)

Required capacity: 852:35.56 7,494MB
Total capacity on disc: 582:32.40 5,120MB

"Note SCSI/ATAPI errors may also occur at the end of the simulation or burning. "

Is the risk worth it? or Is my computer lacking the necessary amount of RAM?

You're trying to fit 7 gigabytes on a 4.7 gigabyte disc, on on a DL disc that already has stuff on it.

You need a DL DVD, thats a 8.5gigabyte disc, but that only works if your DVD burner will use DL discs.

Use DVD Shrink...it will compress something that would take up a dual-layer DVD into something that will fit on a regular DVD.

DVD shrink!

Or try another program besides NERO. There are several out there that do the compression for you.
