It's usually safe with high quality discs. I have overburned many audio CDs and they all play fine. The amount you can overburn depends on what disc you are using. Some programs will allow you to simulate a burn to determine how much you can overburn. Of course, your burner has to support overburning for it to work at all.

100 megs!?! Only if you're using 90-99 min. discs (which are sub-standard discs not widely supported). If you're just using the standard 74-80 min. discs then it's only like 10-25 megs.

so then i guess theres no point- i just heard in the glossary that there was a way to over burn a VCD to hold 99 minutes (i guess you need the rare 100 minute cds for that)

Well now... VCD is a compltely different story aint it hehe... i *did* say DataCD hehe... for VCD your capacity is on the order of a theoretical cap of 106 minutes per VCD.
