Comment (by kallisti5):

 The final image size at  the moment is 704MB.  Some research pointed out
 that CD's can hold a *maximum* of...

 {{{
 700 MB CD-ROM can actually hold about 737 MB (703 MiB) of data with error
 correction (or 847 MB total).
 }}}

 704MB (or 671.4 MiB) is far enough away from 737MB that it shouldn't be a
 problem.


 I'll try burning the alpha to a standard *cheap* cd-r and post findings
 here.
