Platinum 80 min / 800 MB cd-r & Plextor 1210 TA

Hi everybody,
I'm using Nero 5.5.1.8. I have the overburn option activated (expert features) and the maximum cd length is set to 90 min.

However the Plextor 1210TA v1.07 does not want to write a 736 MB file on a Platinum 90min/800 MB cd. The writer recognizes the CD-r as een 80min cd.

And, according to some articles, the Plextor should be able to write towards 800 MB

Can anyone help me out.

Thanks already,

Illusion

Don't know about that perticular Plextor model but all cd +80min cd media uses 80min standards to assure compatibility. So 90 min CDs show up as 80mins even tough they can be overburned to 90min.
It is true that most Plextor drives can burn atleast 89.59min. but some drives need to force overburning. In nero to do this
change parameter in windows registry. Run file regedit.exe from ####/Run. Go to folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ahead\Nero-Burning Rom\General and find file Oversize Default Value. Double click on this file and change Value "0" (hexadecimal box is #####ed) to Value "1". Click on OK and close registry editor.
If this don't help maybe u should try update ur firmware. If this don't help maybe u should try different burning software (alltough Nero in my opinion is the best).
