    hi guys

    ive been reading a lot about the dvd size and always wonder why should i be limited to 4.36G. the dvd-r that i have are of 4.7 Gb and i assume all of it can be used.
    so is it software (dvd decryper) limitaion or the actual useable size of the dvd is 4.36 G.

    thanks

    No matter what the software, 4.37 is the useable size.

    they mean 4.7 billion bytes, which equals 4.37 gigs.
