Theoretically 700MB is actually 716.8MB because 1KB is not exactly 1000Bytes but 1KB = 1024Bytes. So 700*1024 gives you 716.8MB which is rounded off to 717MB so the value of 717MB that you're seeing as the file size is, well, 700MB (I know it sounds confusing but its done to ease things because its easier for me to say 1KB or 700MB rather than say 1.024KB or 716.8MB).

Nero supports this overburn feature, but it's not supported for all the drives?
