is gigarec=1.2 a Overburning format. If so where can i enable it in Nero(any version) or other burner applications
No, check this GOOGLE for more info about Gigarec. Overburning to the extent that you desire (800+ MB) is notoriously unreliable, specifically when moving the OB disc from PC to PC. Overburning in general isn't a recommended practice, bec depending on your drive, one can cause permanent damage to the drive. But it's like overclocking, most folks (incl myself) will push the envelope a bit since the cost of a optical drive isn't that great and the likelihood of damage is small (if you're not overambitious.) Personally, I only exceed the normal CD-R capacity by 10-30MB and have never regretted it (w/ a wrecked drive.)
IAC, if you desire > 700MB discs, you really should be thinking DVD-Rs, from a reliability and compatibility standpoint.
However, based on your questions, you should really start w/ simpler projects, that is projects that don't exceed 700MB. It seems that most newbies that find this forum have grandiose ambitions for these multi-boot discs, but very little experience. Every one that does have that experience (ie. jaclaz, cdob, kof94, and myself) has obtained that experience solely by way of hundreds of hours of experimentation and GOOGLEing. There is no short cut. The journey is worth it, though.
Good luck....Jet
