Having trouble burning some 702Mb and 703MB files. Toast and the others won't accept, yet they will work in Nero on the PC. Any way to squeak those few extra MB in on the mac?
Thanks.

In toast you look at the disk prefs and uncheck the filedatabase option. That gives you max amount of space. 703 point something.

You need to over-burn your disks.

you don't want to overburn your disks. In Toast, find the ISO 9660 file format (in the "other" section). This format has lower overhead than HFS/PC hybrid and lets you get the most data on a disc without sacrificing error-protection (which is what overburning does). That said, I've only seen as much as 702.9 MB available, but shop around; some media is larger than others. If it's a movie file you're trying to burn, consider cutting a few seconds off the end

Thanks for all the advice. I tried the ISO 9660 and it was no go. Tried taking out all Apple overhead, same thing. What is the maximum then you can get and with what? I tried the overburn apps like Firestarter and it was no go as well. One was 702.86MB and the other 703.4MB.

Didn't try the database option...
Thanks.
