DVD Overburning

Nero 7 allows overburning of DVDs. However, it is very, very rare for DVD writers to support the feature as overburning DVDs actually requires the laser lens to move further out than DVD specs allowed compared to CDs where a shorter lead in and out can be used to extend disc capacity or error correction can be turned off.

Being able to read overburned DVDs can also be a problem for the same reasons. If you are unable to overburn the series, I'd consider possibly re-encoding a few of the audio tracks on the files to a slightly lower bitrate and see if you can trim 7 MB off.

grrrrrr... it's only 7 MB >.<


EDITING: BTW I THINK I got version 6.1 or something... and that fails... so version 7 doesn't fail?

No, more than likely your writer does not support overburning DVDs. Give DVDShrink a try and see if you can shave off a few KB here and there from the files to get yourself under the 7 MB mark.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just reencode an episode. The second best suggestion would be to burn each season to their own DVD. Seriously, I fail to see how this wouldn't be "organized". Also, it's not like blank media costs a fortune these days.

No, but DVDShink can be used as a simple method to re-encode the audio of each file, correct (at least I THINK it can demux an AVI and extract the audio then re-time/re-encode the file)? I'm just trying to think of a simple program that would allow an easy way to do this. I don't mean to offend Tsunade in any way but it seems he isn't familiar with common re-encoding methods which actually require a bit of work.

Tsunade, if you would like you can browse around www.doom9.org. They have plenty of resources for you if you would like to attempt to re-encode some of the files.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
