Description Tamas 2015-07-26 15:29:14 UTC
Trying to burn linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-32bit.iso (898Mb) to a 900MB Mediarange CD-R fails,
because it suggests to insert a DVD or Blueray disk.

I think the GUI tried to determine, that 898Mb needs at least a DVD.

I enabled overburn.

By year 2015 there were already 2 standards.

1MB=1000^2 bytes
1MiB = (2^10)^2 bytes = 1024^2 bytes

To be totally precise, 1Mb stands for 1000^2 bits, not bytes
and SRAM sizes for embedded devices is still often 
given in bits, not bytes, in year 2018, but I assume that
You meant 898MB, not the 898Mb.

A question is, how big the ISO file really is?
If it is 898MB, then an 900MB CD-R might do, but
if it is 898MiB = 898*1024*1024B = 941621248B ~ 942MB 
then the 900MB CD-R will be too small.

Back in the day the 1MiB was displayed as 1MB.
May be the GUI for evaluating the file size used the
old notation and displayed 898MB in stead of 898MiB.
