Burning a CD through the Finder

[jeepster485]

I just tried burning a CD in Finder and when it mounted on the desktop, it said the CD was 670Mb overall and had 660Mb available. I wanted to copy 690Mb and it wouldn't let me. When I went into Toast and tried, the disc was recognized as being a 700mb CD. Any idea as to why the Finder is not recognizing the CD was being a 700Mb volume?

I don't like finder burning. It seems to take way to long and do to much stuff that is un-necessary. Maybe i'm just doing it wrong. Stick with toast though.

There is extra stuff on there as part of the formatting done by OS X, I don't remember what though. When Toast does the burning, you get all of the space. If you burn in OS 9, you also get all of the space. There's just something about the way OS X creates the file system.
