I am using Nero 6.0.0.15. I am trying to burn onto an 80min 700mb RW disk but nero keeps telling me that there is not enough space on disk to burn compilation. I am pretty sure i have overburned with these disks in the past well over 700mb. and disk info tells me that there is 703mb free space but i have to back down to 680 before it will let me burn. This does not seem right to me, what do you think?
 
Have you already checked your overburn preferences in Nero?...open Nero Burning ROM | File | Preferences | "Expert Features" tab. :)
 
yeah that lways gets everyone, nero should have that enabled by default. btw how is neros erase feature on those RW's, i swear whenever i erase with nero it leaves fragments of files behind.
 
Yes I do have the overburn option selected. thats beside the point, I am not even trying to put 700mb on the disk and it says there is not enough space. I have to back down to about 680mb before it will allow the burn??? not only will it not let me overburn it wont even let me use normal capacity?
 
I have the same problem. One day I decided to check out overburning, so read up on the subject. I checked the option (which was the only prerequisite I could find) and it refused to overburn. I'm pretty sure my CDs will burn all the way up to 700MBs though (never tried to completely fill one :D).

Get rid of Nero

www.burn4free.com

I was a die hard Nero user until I got my DVD burner, which Nero did not recogize, not about to shell out more money for a new burning software I tried Burn4Free, it has got to be the best burning software I have used yet.

and its freeware, not shareware.
 
If the error you get says something like there is not enough space, nero will need to finalize the CD before burning, just hit yes. All that error means is that if the data amounts to more than 680mb, then you cannot add additional sessions to the CD. Making a multi-session CD automatically takes up 20mb. It's just telling you that you can add no more sessions if you choose to burn more than 680mb of data.
