Close to no recorder is able to write disks > 89:59/74 because the time
that follows is defined to be negative!
The time between 90:00/00 and 99:59/75 is the space _before_ the start of the disk.
I would not suggest to use disks > 80 Minute for any kind of data storage
as they are most likely not reliable and definitely not readable by all drives.
If you really like to use > 90 disks, first do some testing:
1) Always start testing with audio as it is less sensitive to firmware properties.
2) Test whether your writer will write a < 90 Minute CD correctly.
Test with several different audio players ...
2a) If not, try cdrecord -raw to write the CD. As in this case cdrecord and not the
drives's firmware will produce the sub channel data it is more likely to work.
3) If < 90 minute work, try a 99 minute CD - if needed in -raw (I would guess that most
drives will need -raw for >= 90 minute).
If it works, be happy ;-)
If you need RAW and like to write data CD's, wait until cdrecord with RAW data support
will be released.
