ARRGGHH! Burning help please

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 4:19 pm

I have a mp3 file converted to WAV that I'd like to burn.

Problem is, it's 81:58 long.

I have a feeling it MIGHT fit on a 700 MB disc anyway, but NTI won't let it try. It says there's insufficient space and to try another disc.

Anyone have any ideas, short of cutting it in 2?

Maybe some way of forcing NTI to burn it?

Should I try Nero instead, does it have that option?

Tried Nero, still no go.

Anyone?

Did you try the overburn setting in NTI?

Nope, never even heard of it

Hopefully that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks

I don't remember exactly but I believe it's a tab under the main properties.

Looked everywhere...nothing.

Checked the index...nothing.

Checked their site's FAQ's...nothing.

Are you sure it's NTI and not Nero?

I found the Burn-proof setting, but that's it.

did it work? I didn't know that there was an option to burn more than 72/80 min onto a cd...

Nope.

has a little warning that comes up saying there might be errors on the disc, it might damage the disc, might damage the BURNER!

Went ahead and did a test&burn anyway, but it failed.

oh well...

sounded good though!

You could try a proggie like MP3Trim to see if you can trim some fat off the beginning and end of the file. Your file doesn't look too far over the limit so it may be just what you need. You won't have to trim tooo much of it.
I've never used it, but was pointed to it once from someone here that says it works good.

Just a thought

It's not in Nero. I was referring to NTI.

What version of NTI do you have?

NTI CD Maker Pro 2000

Not that I don't believe you, but I haven't been able to find even a hint of it in NTI.

Opened Nero and there it was.

5.1.3 or earlier? Obviously I'm thinking maybe it's not in the version you are using.

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Mon Apr 01, 2002 8:10 pm

V 4.2.68

That must be it.

what is the mp3 encoded at?

if its at 160....you could convert it to 128..........i am an audophile and i cant tell a diff between the 2 rates......just an idea ...hope it can be applied to the situation.

AMP

Do you still have the original mp3? If so, do what Norm suggested and trim the ends and even parts of the middle. A 128 bitrate mp3 is the ratio of 10 to 1. So if you trimmed 10 seconds of the mp3, you should be close to be able to stick that baby on an 80 minute CD. Strange, Nero should have been able to overburn a minute, maybe. What burner are you using?

Here's a link to mp3Trim.

If you don't have the mp3 you can use a proggie like Cool Edit or Goldwave to trim your wav.

Errrr....ummm........after wiping a little egg from my face, I noticed there is also a WavTrim from the same site as mp3trim.

Here you go.

Hi downhill thanks for the tips,
I have both of those already actually, they are handy.

It's one long studio track, but I guess a bit off the beginning won't hurt.

You don't have this tab?

That would be negative.

LOL, you think I could miss something THAT obvious?

OK, so I could, but no, I don't have that tab on my version.

Notice how you have 7 tabs of Options?
I have 6. Thay must have added the overburn tab at a later date.
