Is it possible to create a disk image, that grows with the needed space.
At this time, I create 700 MB images, and when they are full, I burn a CD. That's fine, exept that the 700 MB are always used, even if the image is not full. So, is there any way to do this?

Disk Utility -> Create New Image -> Select size (= max. size of image) + "sparse disk image" instead of read/write disk image.
