does anyone know how to stuff more than 535 megs on a udf cd-rw (directcd)?
You can't. The way it works is that a cd is 650 MB. When you format the cd in teh UDF file structure the software has to reserve that extra space(650-535=115 MB). This extra space is used to store the information about the file structure and layout on the cd. I know it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but that's how it works. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
