Burning data disc (DVD)

im tryin to burn a dvd, the total file size says its 4.68Gb when checked through properties, on the blank dvd itself it has written 4.7Gb yet when I try to burn it it says "Free Space on the loaded disc is 4488.06 MB. This data image requires 4806.13 MB of Free Space!"

wtf?

This is to be expected.  Computers are no good at counting numbers.

Yeah. I recommend using an abacus for counting stuff, plus they are good at burning DVDs - just chop them up into kindling and set them on fire, and put the DVD in the flames to burn it.

This might explain it:

The core trouble here is that you're using a financial operating system, called EnronOS.  "Gb" means a billion bucks, and "MB" means a million bucks.  As you can see, EnronOS is no good for correct accounting of any numbers that represent money.
