PostHeaderIcon How do I overburn a CD with Nero?

  • Start Nero
  • From the action-bar select File and select Preferences.
  • In the Preferences window, select Expert Features(1) and check the Enable overburn disc-at-once(2).
  • Choose a Maximum CD Length(3) and click OK(4) (*82:59:59 is the maximum value I suggest, but as you can see from the screen capture above I have set mine significantly higher. The reason is because I frequently use 99min 850 MB CD media).
  • For a more accurate test you can use a nero tool called nero speed test to see how much a specific CD is capable of being overburned . get it here
  • From the action-bar select File and select Write CD.
  • A window will appear when you have exceeded expected length, click OK to start the overburn copy.
  • Remember to set disk to burn Disc at Once, you cannot overburn in Track at Once Mode.
