bareface: The real capacity of your media can be measured with a fair degree of accuracy. VOB/Pinnacle instant CD/DVD does the trick, and the same applies for Exact Audio Copy.
Just fire up EAC, put the blank in your burner and choose Tools/Write CDR and then from the CDR menu "test CD-R capacity".
Then you can use the reported capacity as maximum overburning one at any application that offers that option (RecordNowMax, Nero etc), or simply taking care yourself not exheeding it when you compile.
For burning you MUST use DAO mode, plus a burning speed that allows your burner to use full CAV mode and not variable recording speed (zoneCLV or P-CAV). You'd better disable burnproof and similar protections, too.
