As has been discussed many times at these forums, the ACTUAL capacity of a blank DVD5 (single-sided, single layer) is 4.37Gb, using the STANDARD computer users' (and manufacturers' and software producers') definition of a Gb as 1,024 bytes x 1,024 x 1,024 x 1,024 - as opposed to the DVD manufacturers' definition of a GB as 1,000 bytes x 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000...
If you have more questions, always feel free to ask them...
