Overburning DVD+R DL?

[dbminter]

Is it possible to Overburn a DVD+R DL? I ask because I have an image that is only 90 MB over the listed maximum size for a DVD+R DL when I go to burn the image. Image size 4,219,968 sectors (8,242 MB). Disc size 4,173,824 sectors (8,152 MB). The image was created by UltraISO which says there is 99% used of the 8.5 GB space with 28 MB free. I tried selecting Overburn, but, ImgBurn wouldn't write to the media at all.

 

 

Forgot the log, sorry!

There's a modified firmware available for the 'iHASx24 B' drives that'll let you overburn. The special Vinpower Digital 5280-CB range of drives can also do it.

Can't you just rebuild the ISO and remove something from it so it's back down to normal size?

Unfortunately, for what I need the disc to do, I can't remove anything. It's a bootable recovery media for Acronis True Image that contains the 2 files in an image backup. I need the bootable recovery because I no longer use Acronis, but, may need to restore that backup's data someday. So, what I did was split it across 2 bootable DVD-R's, one each of the backup image files per disc.

 

 

I doubt I'll try a modified firmware for this drive as I've already ordered a replacement LG. It's only been 5 months and it's already started failing to write to BD-RE that it was writing to and returned failed to read sector errors on Verifies of DVD+R DL. Plus, this LG drive has BDXL capabilities that my drive didn't.

 

 

Anyway, that LiteOn appeared to be problematic from the start. The first DVD Video DVD+R DL I burned on it had to be reburned because of a skipping in playback. The first BD-RE I fed it, a Sony, failed before it had been written to 5 times. I had pegged it down to the Sony quality issue, but, now my Memorex Riteks that the drive was writing to before are getting Miscompares on Verifies and Reflect returned Cyclic Redundancy Errors while writing to BD-RE.
