jus a quick question for NERO users...
i am backing up some live sets as Data on CD...and i am using 700MB CDs not CDRW but CDR.....
now i just backed up like 10 sets on 1 CDR and before the burn-process started ..NERO told me that there is not enough space on the CDR for the burn (because it was a little over 700MB)...but NERO then said it can be burned if the CDR is FINALIZED...
i clicked YES FINALIZE the CDR...and the burn-process went though fine...i double checked the sets and everything seems ok....
but my question is this...
What does FINALIZE mean?...is that for if u are using a CDRW not a CDR for data and it means that if it is FINALIZED that u wont be able to write back or edit the CD???...thats what i think it means..but i wanna make sure...
thanks...... |

it just means that you cannot write anymore data to the CD. Usually you could still write data to CD-R's. A multi-session CD uses this principle.. you write stuff in the first session, then the next day you add some other stuff to it.. for multi-sessioniability you need a special arrangement in the TOC (table of contents) and it prolly takes up extra space.. |

Well the only way to fit a little over 700mb is too finalise.
So it had to be done.
Then cd is full, and u cant add anymore to it
Nero automatically makes a cd multi session, or atleast should with default settings, so you can add stuff to the cd after wards, by continuing a multi-session :) |

What is overburning? And does Nero support it? I haven't been able to find that option anywhere. |

Finalizing was explained above, but basically, if you choose this option you can't write to the CDR again once the burning session is done.
Overburning is writting over the 'allowed' burning area. Not all burners can physically do this because the CDR head simply won't allow it. It can physically harm the CDR which is why there's always lots of warning if you're going to do this. |

| Remember that each (multi)session takes about 30 mb extra. So if you want to use all 700 megs, don't use multisession, and then you'll be able to burn up to 703 mb. |
