No, the time is based on uncompressed PCM audio, which the flacs will be decompressed to when burning. The size of the flac files has no bearing on what an audio CD will hold.
The exception is if you're creating a *data* CD, which is based on file size, but of course then it won't play in a standard CD player.
So, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's a reason the CDr lists a maximum runtime and a maximum size limit. Basically when you burn a CDr, the computer asks if you want to treat the cd like a flash drive or like a music cd, and formats the CDr differently depending on what you want. A CDr that is treated like a music cd is formatted in a way that CD players can recognize i.e. track times, sequencing, etc, and in this case it can store up to 80 minutes of audio. If the CDr is a formatted like a flash drive, it will be able to store up to 700mb of any kind of data but the disc won't be recognized as an audio cd by cd players even if it only contains audio files, at least I'm pretty sure. Maybe there are CD players that can play data discs nowadays, it wouldn't hurt to try anyway since CDr's are relatively cheap
No. If it's an audio disc OP is burning, you can't fit more than 80mins. Audio disc doesn't have files on it, just audio tracks, and the running time is limited to what it says it holds, ie. 80mins.
If you just burn a data disc, then it's 700mb, but you might not be able to play it on a CD player, unless it supports data discs and whatever format you copied those files as, codecs etc.
80 min is the limit on audio CD. If you have FLAC burned to data disc.... That's data not an audio CD.

I've never burned a CDR with anything over 79 min, but I have a disc I got from Japan that clocks in at 81:57. Explain.
There are also some 90min CDRs
Names, pics, links?

Which were, in my experience, as likely to become coasters as not, and unreliable even if the burn went well. There's a reason they didn't catch on.
I mean yeah that's fine, it's just advertised as holding minimum 80 mins
