I have an ISO image of a DVD which is 8.5GB in size. I find this strange, because that is about 500MB more than a standard DL DVD can hold. I tried overburning with Nero, but it failed. Is it possible to somehow burn such an image? Are there some special DVD blanks that allow you to write more?
Or is this ISO simply made by some tool without any regards of whether it can be burned or not?

The max size of a DVD+R DL is 8,547,991,552 bytes...so maybe the person creating the ISO thought this meant 8.5GB, and created one that was too big?
Or if you ripped this from a commercial DVD, real dual layer DVDs can actually hold more than DVD+R DL's can.
