Nero Burning Rom Warn Messeage

[mtsbr]

The messege is as fellows:

There is not enough space available to burn this compilation unless the CD is finalized after burning.

Do you want Nero to finalize it after burning?


I used the Nero DVD video wizzard. The files I burned was 4.376GM(4.481MB). I accepted to finalize DVD-R. The burnt disk was both playable on PC and standalone DVD player.

What I want to know is that
What the finalizing CD really means
1. if the to-be-burnt file size is over 4.37MB or less than 4.37MB
2. whether DVD-RW disk can be erased again, after got finalizing CD message.

Thanks.

"What the finalizing CD really means"

It means that nothing further can be written to the disk after this one "session". To avoid having that message appear, under the "Multisession" tab, select "No multisession". This is an ABSOLUTE requirement for burning DVDs...

[mtsbr]

I have set to no multisession.

What I said is if the file size is below 4.37GM, no such kind of messeage comes, only the file size is over 4.37GM do this message come.

nero sometimes is able to burn more data
on a medium than it can normally hold.
but this overburn capability is strictly
bound to the DAO modus.
this is the reason why nero asks this question anyway no matter what setting
I guess.

but even this slight overburning
does not work with DVD-Rs of any brand!
in fact I have not gotten hold of a DVD-R that works correctly afterwards.

Even though you got a burning success message the DVD-R is not likley to work! (as far as I have experienced it)

to avoid this use dvdshrink and shrink a little bit

Thanks. That is the answer I expected.

I have successfully burned 4481MB video date onto the Victor DVD-R disk at 2x with Pioneer DVRA05.

It was played very well with my PioneerDV515 and Power DVD on PC as well.

The disk was only left 4MB unused area.

[shiny#3]

thx for reposting. I will give Victor DVD-r a try!

[setarip]

Just a point of information:

A DVD-R can accept files totalling 4,493Mb without overburning

A DVD+R can accept files totalling 4,483Mb without overburning

[shiny#3]

I agree with you setarip.

theoretically speaking an average dvd-r should be able to store
4711251 kilobytes. ( that is where that strange 4.7 GB come in)

but often the the dye on these dvd-r differs and of course has been tested by ahead. so if recognized ( testing medium)
nero decides what can be stored on the medium wit 99,5 %
reliability and then decides whether there is enough space
to store the requested data on it or not.

as you can imagine we are all using different DVD writers
and media , therefore that testing and looking up tested media
which nero does .. has a lot of bias.

so it is not reliable!!
this is why it can happen that nero requests DAO with one writer
and it does not with another writer though using the same medium! this is at least what I have read of the nero developers

one simple question.

If files to be burnt is under 4.37 and without any warn message, does it mean that the burnt disk is not finalized in nero dvd wizzard mode?

If yes, after burning more data can still be aid if RWs are used?

"If files to be burnt is under 4.37 and without any warn message, does it mean that the burnt disk is not finalized in nero dvd wizzard mode?"

No - it simply means there's "no concern" regarding available space to burn.

To shiny#3

Just wanted to make sure that "mtsbr" was made aware of the size difference between the two formats...

[shiny#3]

to setarip:

any help and knowledge is welcome ( niels bohr to einstein).

[setarip]

To shiny#3

You're really "flying high" today ;>}

[shiny#3]

not really as you might know when niels bohr said that to einstein
it was more like help me out or agree or (best) correct me!
