Overburning Possible?


Recommended Posts

Ok I have a DMG I am trying to burn on my iBook, but I am not able to because both Toast and Disk Utility say there is not enough space on the disc,

The DMG is 702mb and the CDR's I'm trying to use are 700mb, is there a way I can either modify the DMGs to make them smaller or burn this DMG like I can in nero with images that are bigger than the cd size?

Thanks...

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is common knowledge yet (I didn't know about it, that's for sure), but it is possible to overburn CDs on a Mac! The application is called "MissingMediaBurner_0.4" (you can find it on Versiontracker) and it has a new feature that will create the bin/cue files for any data on your hard drive (files, video, audio, documents, etc.). Then, it uses the terminal to launch mkisofs and will burn your cd for you through the terminal. It supports overburning (so long as your CD-RW drive does) so I was able to fit 745 MB on a 700 MB media. There is a list of which drives support overburn somewhere, but I forget the address.

Mine is an LG DVD/CD-RW combo drive, if anyone cares.
