You have to use CDSpeeds Overburn test. You'll probably need a 99Min CD to fit a 760MG file. Most 700MG CD's can only overburn 5-10MG.
If you have a Lite On 48125W drive with the new VS08 firmware, the overburn test will NOT return accurate results, as I've found out....

An ISO data file of 760 MB is 86.5 minutes, so it can be burned on a 90 minute CDR using overburning.

A VCD file of 760 MB is 76.2 minutes, so it can be burned on a standard 80 minute CDR.

A common error is to consider a file of approximately 760,000,000 bytes as 760 MB. It is not, and after conversion, works out to about 724.8 MB. This is at the outside limit of overburning with an 80 minute CDR, but some few CDR's may be able to handle this extreme overburn. Test them first with CD Speed to estimate the overburn capacity.
