I think it's more a matter of what software you use for the job.  There is
software out there that warns you're trying to record over 74 minutes, but
then happily puts a *whole* lot more on it with no apparent problem.  My
personal record is a second or two under 79 minutes, with cut-rate $1
CD-R's from BestBuy or CompUSA...
