Hi,
I bought 700MB CD's, but am burning stuff onto them that's 786 MB for instance. They are 80 min CD's, and it says 7 somthing mins when I do that. What gives- isn't teh limit supposed to be 700MB?

What if your life moved.....2 inches to the left?

80min CDs are 700 megabytes.

Heh.

Depends on what you're trying to burn. If that's a warez clonecd image, then it probably has the sub channel data along with it.
