Nero DVD burning question : 4.7GB discs or 4.5GB ?
I am using NERO to burn my discs and things. I wanted to burn some backup files on a dvd, and on the DVD it says that the size it is 4.7GB (like any dvd). On Nero I get a maximum DVD space of 4.5GB. Where did those 200MB's go ? I need to configure something ? BTW, I am using latest nero. Thanks! |

Re: Nero DVD burning question : 4.7GB discs or 4.5GB ?
4.7GB on a DVD refers to 4.7 billion bytes and company's calculate this as 1000b = 1kb, 1000kb = 1mb and 1000mb = 1gb.
In reality this should be 1024kb = 1mb and 1024mb = 1gb, so you lose 24 bytes for every 1000. You can usually fit around 4.38GB (using windows sizes) on a single dvd. |
