Optical Duplicator Overburn

Updated on Feb 24, 2026

Overburn is the process of recording data past the normal size limit. Many disc manufacturers extend the recordable area on a disc, leaving a small margin of extra recordable area along the outer edge. The Overburn setting allows you to turn On or Off the ability to burn to the overburn area on a disc. The default setting is Off.

WARNING! Turning the Overburn setting to On may cause damage to your discs or Writer drives during the burn process.
