Sorry to disappoint, but there is no exact answer to that question.
650MB is given as the figure for most CD's, but it is a little bit
conservative.  Differences in track pitch can result in higher
densities.  Also differences in writers.  In otherwords, if anyone gives
you an exact answer, I wouldn't have to work very hard to prove them
wrong.

If you use 650, you will not have problems or make a lot of coasters.  If
you want to mess with your particular system, as well as different brands
of media, you may be able to squeeze it up or down.

Hope that helps.
