Hi ykhgrant, Welcome to our forum!

when i put an 800mb disc in it is only recognized as 702mb

this is because the CD-R standards; there are no 800 MB discs, they are only overburning compatible up to 800 MB and labeled as 800 MB, but actually they are 700 MB discs;

do as serjer told: enable overburning up to 800 MB
(of course, your drive must be overburning compatible too; )

Be carefull about overburning

Overburning (and I'm bound to be corrected here) is IIRC a practice that bends the ISO rulebook. so be carefull that the app your going to do it for will be ok with it. ie I believe a std Music CD player may get a tad uppity about too much info on a disc

in a worst case even you can damage a standalone CD player;

Certainly not the case here on a Sony CDP-XE930 deck, so far it has played up anything up to 97 minutes of music. And I don't believe that any modern servo controlled laser beam could have such problems with oversized disks, but VERY old players might be busted, though.
