CAN I OVERBURN ??? (strange this is the first post asking for it...)
Hello all you Mac gurus. Today's question is:
-> can I OVERBURN? <-
For those who never heard the term: overburning is the use of high capacity cds like the TDK one I have here in front of me and which theoretically could give me up to 800MB or 90mins of space and time. But overburning also lets you get out more than the actual 700MBs out of the usual CD-Rom, sometimes even 15 to 20 MBs more.
Hardware: I have a Matshita UJ-846, aka "Superdrive" that came with my brand new PowerBook 1.67GHz 17" HD.
Apparently NOBODY asked for this before, although the word "overburn" occurs here and there in these forums.
Frankly I think this is strange - how many films or other data do you have that just do not fit on the 700MB CDs from the drugstore? And how nice could it be to get those two or three 798MB DVD rips onto one CD instead of keeping it on your harddrive?
BTW I tried DragonBurn - doesn't work - and also FireStarter - doesn't work either. Both tell me that my drive is not supported. But I would hate to give up.
Thanks!
PS: a question for those with historical memory: is it possible that Apple does not actively support overburning? It's a nice feature that a lot of pee-cees can use (even the really scrappy one my girlfriend has bought last year). So why on earth can WE not???
