It is because they don't know how to calculate the capacity. The CD have 700,000,000 Bytes. 1024 Bytes=1Kb 1024 Bytes=1MB (because the PC use the Binary code).If you have 700,000,000 Bytes=683,593 Kb=667MB. If you want to burn you only have this 650 because the file is converted to another format that needs more capacity. I hope that this can answer your question.
