  1. There is a difference between kilobytes (KB) and thousands of bytes, megabytes (MB) and millions of bytes, and gigabytes (GB) and billions of bytes. All DVD and hard drive manufacturers say GB where they should say BB (billions of bytes).

     

    1 KB = 1024 bytes

    1 MB = 1024*1024 KB = 1,048,576 bytes

    1 GB = 1024*1024 MB = 1,048,576 KB = 1,073,741,824 bytes

     

    A 74-minute CD-R disc has 333,000 sectors, 2048 bytes each; it holds 333,000*2048=681,984,000 bytes, or 333,000*2=666,000 KB, or 333,000/512=650.39 MB of data.

     

    An 80-minute CD-R disc has 360,000 sectors, 2048 bytes each; it holds 360,000*2048=737,280,000 bytes, or 360,000*2=720,000 KB, or 360,000/512=703.13 MB of data.

     

    The most common 12 cm DVD-R disc has 2,298,496 sectors, 2048 bytes each; it holds 2,298,496*2048=4,707,319,808 bytes, or 2,298,496*2=4,596,992 KB, or 2,298,496/512=4489.25 MB, or 2,298,496/(512*1024)=4.38 GB of data.

     

    The most common 12 cm DVD+R disc has 2,295,104 sectors, 2048 bytes each; it holds 2,295,104*2048=4,700,372,992 bytes, or 2,295,104*2=4,590,208 KB, or 2,295,104/512=4482.63 MB, or 2,295,104/(512*1024)=4.38 GB of data.

  2. It's no good to overburn a DVD Video Compliant image.

     

    If the disc is just 2,298,496 amount of sectors big, that's how big it is.

     

    Use a program such as DVD Shrink (freeware) to "shrink" the image down in size to fit your discs, and then burn the image/files that program creates with ImgBurn.

  3. Oh ya i forgot to say this but could ImgBurn be able to disable the little quotes at the button by the status bar e.g "Could the program BE any better?" because Iv read most/all of them and they are getting boring maby for ImgBurn to say just plan "Ready" thanks

     

    Add your own quotes then... :P

  4. And i dont remember writing speed then, maybe it was 2.4x, and now i burn with 1x, as in instruction.

     

    W 11:32:28 Write Speed Miscompare! - Wanted: 1 385 KB/s (1x), Got: 5 540 KB/s (4x)

    W 11:32:28 The drive only supports writing these discs at 4x; 6x; 8x.

     

    No, you burned with 4x, as that one is the lowest possible speed with your combo of media/writer.
