Override 670MB size limit on Finder-burned CDs
Authored by: goochrules on Sep 24, '04 01:02:57PM

This worked just great for me. I was able to burn a 698.3 MB and 699 MB avi of the World Cup of Hockey final using this method.

Having said that, two items of interest:
1) I inserted the disk before doing any of these steps, and the disk was ejected automatically following completion of the 'burn' step.
2) The icon on the desktop did not go away following the burn step, I had to drag those to the trash... in its self this is an amusing situation, my system thought it had two burnable disks mounted, and asked what i wanted to do with each (eject, burn, cancel) even though I have only one disk drive.

This is true - I had forgotten about the timing issue here. I deal with it by not putting the disc in until the system asks for it (whether you use Disk Utility or the command line, it will tell you to insert a disc). You can also choose 'Ignore' when inserting the disc (if you haven't told it to just mount it by default anyway).

Anyway, as you discovered, recovering is no big deal - you just have to eject a disc or two that doesn't really exist ;)
