Who has used the 90 or 99 minute cdr's?

[Mike3d]

I tried to do a search for this so sorry i if i have posted what somebody else has posted (damn search needs 3 letters so i couldnt use 99 or cd )

So has anybody used a 90 - 99 min cd's yet ?

also what is the capacity of a 99 min cd i seem to remember it was 870mb or something i cant remember.

Interesting read

CDR Compatbility List 90 -99 min (PDF!)

unfortunatly i cant use it i got a old samsung 8x but im gonna upgrade soon any suggestions btw its gotta be cheap no a plextor (plextor dont support them anyway Read INTERESTING READ)

How reliable are 99 min disks ? i ask this after reading the plextor page.

"stretching the envelope" of CD-R technology actually causes the 99-minute discs to deviate from the accepted book standards, and fail in many CD-RW drives. Any minute physical variation in the disc itself, such as thickness variations of the polycarbonate or reflective alloy, or flutter caused by an eccentric (i.e, out-of-balance) disc, are magnified at the outer edge and may result in excessive jitter, or be beyond the capability of the CD-R mechanism to read with a minimum error rate. As a result, most drive vendors do not expend resources testing or qualifying an as-yet unproven, unknown, and, in most cases, marginal quality media. Because they do not test with this non-standard media, they cannot guarantee the performance of the drive or the quality of the written data on this media, and do not officially support the use of 90 or 99-minute media"

I've tried 90 min CDs but I'm not overly impressed. And since an 80 min /700 MB disk will contain up to 807 MB I stick with overburning 80 min CDs instead. Works fine in my Plextor.
