I just just wondering if anyone knows why you can only make an exact duplicate of a dvd only if its under 4.36 Gigs? I was always under the impression it would work as long as it was under 4.7. If anyone could give me some insight that would be great. Kudos, Ty Roc
4.7 is "Japanese gigs". Just like if you buy normally a "100GB" HDD, the actual space you get is somewhere around 90GB. As everybody knows, in reality kilos -> megs -> gigs goes like this: 1kB = 1,024B 1MB = 1,024kB 1GB = 1,024MB But the "Japanese gigs" use 1,000 as a multiplier instead. So, "advertised 4.7GB" is in reality 4,700,000,000bytes, which, in real terms is 4.36GB.
