I think the problem here is that 728 MB exceeds the standard that says 650 MB and allows 700 MB and, by use of nonstandard tools, does not guarantee for anything if you successfully burn 728 MB. "Is possible" doesn't imply "will work as expected". :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
