If anything would my guess would be toast.

It's not a question of the software, it's question of the media. You'd need to find some media with at least 787MB of capacity for a 90-minute CD. As far as I know, nobody makes any bigger than 700MB.

You could waysl make an MP3 CD which can run for 10+hours.

Here, even better: 99 minute CD-Rs

You realize that 90+ minute CDs are WELL outside the CD standard, which defines 74:59. (Even 80 minute discs are out of spec. I avoid them, since I don't like sacrificing data integrity for extra space I don't use.)

The reason he needs is to clone a Playstation II CD that uses the extra length for copy protection!

Why not specify megabytes instead of minutes then? Seems a bit odd to me.

No i dont need them to burn Playstation II games =) I want to burn my divx collection.

I didnt say 800 mbs because on the cd was 800+ mb writen , i think.

Toast you say? Ive got toast, have to check it out.

Toast 5 couldn't handle this AFAIK and overburn will not anyway work unless supported by your CD-R drive (even if most drives can read 99 minute CDs)

I don't know if any Apple CD-R drives support overburn.

Then I wish to hell people would stop posting 703+ MB movie torrents. Drives me nuts.

I know what you mean! A lot of stupid 710 MB torrents are out there. WHY?!! Gah.

Either 700 MB or 800 MB. Nothing in between!

Shame we Mac users are generally screwed when it comes to overburn. We could buy 3rd party CD-R drives I suppose.

Apple does use 3rd party drives in it's computers ...

As for the movie thing. Yeah, I have many 720MB movies, it stinks.
What I do is that when I gather 4-5 of 'em I burn them all into a single DVD. The cost is about the same.
