Hi Jude,
I haven't noticed this option in any program I've used but it should be
fairly easy to do something from the command line like:
echo "scale=2;`du -m /pathtoburn | cut -d" " -f1`/680" | bc
I'm not sure what the overhead needed for creating the actual image on
the CD is, I'm assuming that 680MB is sufficient for a 700MB CD.
Cheers,
Jason
