99 Minute CDRs, how do they cram these extra minutes into CDs, what next? Why 120 minute CDRs(german) of course.

Is the only problem with some CDR's not being able to write on CD's that length? Will these CD's play in normal CD players? I have a Plextor 12/10/32 and that site says the max is 89 min. Which sucks. And thats a nice modern CDRW.

I imagine some CD players will have problems with them, yes, just as some have problems with 80-minute varieties.

The Plextor situation could be a firmware issue; if that's true, in theory it could be updated to raise the limit.
