At 700MB/cd, it'd be about 12 reams per CD,

get you about 5.4GB, which is more than a (single-sided, single
layer) DVD-R holds.
My math:
472,500 bits per page
945,000 bits per double-sided page
118,125 bytes per double-sided page
681,574,400 bytes per 650 M CD
5,452,595,200 bits per CD 46,160 pages
92 reams
59,062,500 bytes per ream
^^^
That's bytes per ream, not bits per ream.
681MByte/CD / 59MByte/ream = 11.5 reams/CD
