Weird! Nero made a MEGA-overburn on 700mb disc without being set to overburn!

Rarely do I post these types of messages in here - I'm usually pretty reserved, but I had something happen the other day when I burned a couple of large MPEG 2 files to SVCD discs.

The files were extremely large but I figured, what the heck, I'll give 'em a try. I popped in a 700mb disc (CompUSA brand), and made sure OVERBURN options were turned OFF. I figured Nero would pop an error in the TEST phase if it couldn't do it. I didn't get an error, so I went on with the burn.

I succeeded in burning an SVCD with 796mb and another with about 780mb of data, to standard CompUSA discs, using Nero, without telling it that Overburning was OK.

My CDRW drive must have some awesome abilities if it can overburn almost 100MB over the capacity of a 700mb disc.

What does everyone think? Is this unusual or does Nero overburn automatically unless you give it a limit for the overburning?
