Thanks Kevin.

Another thing to keep in mind when burning more than 700MB to a disk.
The cheap disks are manufactured to much less strict tolerances than
the 'good' disks, while still meeting the minimum requirements. What
that basically means is that while a high-quality disk is good for up
to maybe 720-730 MB tops, the low quality discs may have a writeable
surface all the way out to 750+. I've burned over 750MB on cheap
media. Was quite a surprise the first time, as I hit Burn without
looking at the meter.
