Unlike most hard drives (and I think DVDs), CDs are in real MBs. As a
result, you can write about 68 bytes to a standard CD and about 737
million bytes to a "700 MB" CD. (I put that in quotation marks because
they are really 703 MD without overburn.)

The current CDs should fit comfortably on and standard CD.
