bought some philips 800mb cd's. I've got 788mb worth of music to burn but when i put it into the drive it comes up as 703mb capacity?

I'm using the latest version of Nero.

Also tried the disc in my old man's pc too. Same thing, 703mb.

Any advice?

You have to set the overburn in Nero so it allows 800MBs and then it should ask. I don't have Nero on my system yet but i think it's under file > properties

okay i set it to recognise 90minute cds, it was already set at 82mins so should have worked anyway.

Weird thing is, in my computer explorer recognises it as 703mb as well.
