This drama is a REAL dorama, and it's a shame that no one is subbing it for those who do not understand Japanese. You have multiple groups subbing frivolous teen dramas and no one cared enough to take on this one. D-Addicts is becoming too teenie/pretty boys/girls-oriented. Dramas like this are why ...

How much you can overburn depends on the size and type of your blank disc, the burning software and the burner itself. I think overburning 30MB is possible but don't know about 50MB. You can always re-encode the file. There are plenty of free softwares out there that would do it for you. Check video...
