final image smaller than ISO

Final image will be 80-90% smaller--it gets written in mode2 format. I won't get all technical, but it crams on averag about 200k more data in each sector than in mode 1--which is the format the disc's marketed capacity is based on. A 700MB disk can get up to about 790MB on a full Mode2/Form2 burn. That's how you can cram 1hr 20 minutes of DVD video on a single CD (if you don't mind a little loss of resolution and slight blurring)or more if your wiling to sacrifice audio quality.

Remember--the source CD is just that...a CD. So it will fit. The only reason it won't is if it is a DVD. That is a completely different story.

Good Luck!
