Why OSX burns smaller discs
Authored by: discordantus on Mar 13, '03 03:40:57AM
If you look in the resources folder inside the Finder.app's package, you'll find four "proxy" disc images. These are the disc images that are used as templates for when you insert a cdr. If you mount those images, you'll find that the image for 700MB (80 min) CDs actually is only 660MB in size. So it doesn't make full use of the cdr when it is burned onto it.

I've tried hacking it by replacing the images with larger ones, but it doesn't work... I suspect it is due to the format that the Finder expects these images to be in?
