burning 700MB cds

[Rodney Kanno]

Hi Warren,

I've used and burned 700MB dics before in Windows with no problem, so I take 
it Linux should be able to do the same? I intend to use 700MB media and not 
"overburn" them because of the problems you stated. cdrecord can recognize 
700MB cd-rs? 

Thanks,
Rodney
