DVD burning question?

[Noober]

alright my problem is when i try to burn a blank 4.7gig dvd disc putting around 4.5-4.7gigs of data on, nero saids not enough space?

but when i burn something under 4.3gigs everything went smoothly. I was just wondering if i am doing something wrong.

no...its right..the DVD says it holds 4.7gb but really...it can only hold 4.3gb

^^.. Heh.. way to up your postcount . No, he's right. We say 1GB=1.024 Billion Bytes, while the media manufacturers say that 1GB=1 Billion Bytes. Therefore, their 4.7GB= our (and Nero's)4.38GB.
