burn limit

About this tag
Discussions about the burn limit on WindowsForum.com focus on the discrepancy between the stated capacity of writable CDs (e.g., 80 minutes) and the actual usable space when burning audio or data with Windows Media Player. Users report that they can only burn approximately 73-74 minutes to an 80-minute CD-R before the software prompts for a second disc. Attempts to burn closer to the full 80 minutes often result in discs that fail to play or are recognized as unknown. The recurring theme is troubleshooting why Windows Media Player enforces a lower burn limit than the media's rated capacity, with practical tips on achieving higher burn times without errors.

    I can only burn about 73-74 minutes to a 80 min.cdr. Anything over that bumps it to cd no.2. Shouldn't I be able to burn up to 80 min. Occasionally I can burn up to 79 min and over, but after the disc finishes burning it won't play and it's listed as an unknown disc
