It's a function of standards that are crafted around the state of the 
art in media, drives and burners.

Depending on sector mode, a standard CD should have either ~600 or ~650 
MB capacity.

There are CD-Rs available that provide ~7000MB capacity by breaking the 
standards.  I wouldn't recommend non-standard media for anything 
mission-critical, but they may be just the trick for what you're doing.

HTH,
