Is it possible to burn about 700MB of data on a 700 MB CD in OS X? I can only burn about 650MB of Data on a 700MB CD. Are there good burning programs (especially freeware) that would do this? I believe Roxio's Toast can do it, right?
If you install cdrtools from fink.sourceforge.net, then you get a commandline tool called 'mkisofs'. You can use it to make a purely ISO9660 .iso file. You can then tell Disk Copy that you want to burn it and insert a CD. Roxio also works. The downside of the mkisofs route is that it doesn't let you name the CD. All the CDs are just named 'CDROM'.
FireStarter FX. It would be nice if it supported DVDs on SupaDrives. would that give us an extra 300 megs!? since DVD-Rs claim to be 4.7 gigs but we all know they are 4.4?

I noticed this while MissingMediaBurner was being unstuffed, it basically uses mkisofs and friends to make the cd for you, contents of Resources/bin folder within app:

Resources/bin:
cdda2wav cdrecord isodebug isoinfo mkhybrid readcd vcdxbuild
cdrdao devdump isodump isovfy mkisofs scgcheck vcdxgen
So it would appear that it is a pretty good solution (I'm yet to actually try it out).
Edit: Oh and actually running the app and reading the Quickstart reveals full documentation of this fact.
