How much bigger is it than 700mb? If it's only slightly over 700mb that's normal, it also carries information about how it should be burned - this data doesn't take up space on the disc.
If it's considerably bigger (1 or 2 gb) it's a DVD iso.

Here is how. It has to do with how MB is defined. millions of bytes, or megabytes. 1 megabyte is 1,024 KB, 1 KB is 1024 bytes, so the real capacity of a 700 MB (80 minute) CD is as follows... 700x1024x1024 bytes=734,003,200 bytes. Microsoft does not use megabytes, but rather bytes (also thousands and millions of bytes) to show a file size. Ask Bill Gates why he deviated. The ISO format is not compressed in any way. The ISO file is a container composed of two parts, the raw CD image data (which gets written to disk) and the format table (which does not get written to disk). The format table contains additional information necessary for the CD burning software to write the raw image to the CD which takes up some additional space over and above the CD image. So, the data written to the CD is less than the ISO file size by some amount, the additional data needed by the software which does the writing, and since the CD holds more than 700 million bytes, you can write an image to CD that on your hard disk occupies more than the apparent capacity.

2 techniques: a million. edit the contents of the iso and dispense with or re-encode any data that are able to be disposed of or reencoded 2. archive it and chop up it over 2 cd's utilizing something like 7zip It somewhat relies upon whats on the disk. if its a video, re-encoding will carry all of it the way down to length. if its a expertise disk then it somewhat is achievable to dispense with some factors of this gadget and do a minimum set up. If its photos then changing the image determination with a batch converter will decrease it down. in case you cant do those issues then the only decision is to archive and chop up it.
