In theory the drive is capable of writing from the "start of lead in" to the "start of lead out" which (for data) gives you 359848 - (-11634) = 371482 sectors of 2048 bytes (or roughly 725MB). However to write this much (or anything more than the specified 700MB) you have to use the -overburn option. Without -overburn you can roughly burn from 0 to "start of lead out" or just over 700MB.

Gentlemen, thank you very much for the help and information. I think I understand now. Thanks for your patience in explaining it to me.
