MSI DVDRW and HD Burn ?

I just bought an MSI DR8-A DVD burner, i didn't notice at the time, but when
i installed it i noted on the box that it has HD Burn, which i'd never heard
of. Apparently i can fit 1.4Gb onto a standard 700mb CDR.

But how ???, there are no instructions on how to do this. I use Nero6, can
it be done in that ?. I tried to drag 1.2Gb of stuff in Nero to test it, but
Nero just says not enough room on CDR. So how is it done ???

I'm very surprised the kit didn't come with instructions (other than how to
install) !


Cheers

You must select whether it is to be a CD, DVD, or
HD-Burn from the drop down menu in the very upper left corner of the
New
Composition window.

If not see if there is a firmware upgrade for your unit.

Good luck

are you having a good rate of sucess copying dvds...the reason i ask is that
i have the same writer and if i try to burn at 4 speed, i get blocks on
screen and also "sticking".
Im using RITEK DATASAFE now.....

If i burn at double speed then all is fine.
