of course it is! that 681mb mpeg is equivalent to only ~68 minutes worth of audio/video data and since the capacity of the disc is 74 minutes, it will easily fit.

i can usually get ~737mb (73 minute) mpegs on 74 min discs. on 80 min discs, i can usually burn mpegs up to ~789mb (78 minute) in size.

(by default, Nero has overburning set to 76 minutes, that's why i said specify if you want a different max. time.)
