How to optimize the file size

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'd like to figure out what size file I should specify when I create a backup with Macrium Reflect.

I understand that:

A single layer DVD-R holds 4,707,319,808 bytes

A single layer DVD+R holds 4,700,372,992 bytes

 

If I specify the file size in Macrium Reflect to be 4.6gb the file that gets written is:

Altap Salamander reports 4,294,956,134.

Windows 7 explorer reports 4,194,294Kb

With ImageBurn I don't see a way to tell how much space I have available to work with.

I really liked the gas gauge with Nero so I could figure out at a glance if I could fit more data on a DVD.

 

Does ImageBurn 2.5.5.0 show some place how much free space is left on a DVD?

 

Thanks for a great program,
