Override 670MB size limit on Finder-burned CDs
Authored by: iqgrande on Sep 24, '04 04:27:43PM

If size is very important, one can use mkisofs, cdrecord and/or cdrdao (from Fink, or from DarwinPorts, or from http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/xcdrosX.html) and overburn your CDs. For example, I was able to fit over 800 MB on a 700 MB CD-R. In Panther, assuming you've installed them from Fink, all you need to do is insert the blank CD-R, choose the "Ignore" button, and then have fun in the terminal. For more information, see http://homepage.mac.com/machiavel/Text/cdrecord.html
Note that the information on that site is more specific to Jaguar; if you are using Panther, there is no need to use the disktool commands (the "Ignore" takes care of this for you...at least on my machine burning to a FireWire CD-RW drive).
