What burner are you using?

What Software?

I use Nero 5 to overburn on 700mb CD's and works fine.

1. Make sure your Burner supports Overburn :

How do those thing "overburn" anyway? I've always wondered that. I mean if the thing says it has a 700mb capacity, then how the heck is it able to put more than it's capacity on the blank CD?

Overburning works by using the lead-out area of the disk. See http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq03.html#S3-8-3 for details. Choice of burner and software plays a big part in it.

Jeff's right. However, some older CD-ROM drives won't read the CD, so watch out for that problem. Just a random thought...
