you could be in luck :-) 700MB CDR's are pretty close to holding indeed 700MB (just put some 69x MB on one). > I want to burn it to CD using: > > mkisofs -R -J -pad Starship\ Troopers.avi | cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -speed=12 - you probably want "-r" to get access to the file even on a different machine with other user id's. > 650MB? > 700? > 730? to get the exact space run: cdrecord -atip and have a look at "start of leadout" Thats the place where the CD says data should end and lead out should start. thats something like 33xxxx blocks with each having 2048 bytes. leave or take some for the leadin and filesystem overhead (for one file?). cdrecord will warn you if it may not fit and refuse to burn if it will definitely not fit. And there are differences between CDR's -- some have different lead-out start, some have considerably more space for overburning, some give a medium error right where the leadout should have finished. There is a list somewhere for typical capacity of different brands (try feurio website or cdrecord website as starting point).
