images can be bigger than you'd think would fit on a CD, depends on what program is used to make it. Had some 775's that fit on a CD with a few minutes to spare before, so I'm guessing you'd be okay.

the space that is shows on ur h/d as an image will not be the same as when its burned to cdr-generally 800meg images will burn fine onto a 700 meg cdr if burnt with sumthing that recognises the image

Also some CD-R/-RW writers (ie Plexwriters) will burn up to 1GB on a 700MB CD-R. They are expensive burners though (run about the same price as a decent DVD Burner).

it depends on how many minutes the game is.

like if a game is 80mins but 750MB, then yes it will fit. as long as ur game is 80 mins or below it will fit. you can see the mins it is by opening the file in any recording program such as nero or alcohol
