Question about size of DvD

[Srki94]

Hey people!

I'm using ImgBurn for about a year now.

I was wondering if someone could explain to me why is this happening.

DVD Has 4.7 GB space for burn, due different calculations (1000MB or 1024)

you can burn 4.3 GB max.

When I try to burn 4GB (Exactly precise size) on a DVD R I get message that it exceeds allowed size and ImgBurn asks me to move to UDF.

When I do so what actually happens?

Will it overburn DVD?

Will all my 4GB be safe cause I know there are still 300MB free on DVD?

Thanks in Advance

The ISO9660 file system can only hold a file smaller than 4GB. If it's bigger - use UDF.

Thank you for fast answer.

Just found out myself that files are intact as long as they don't exceed DVD R limit which is 4.3GB. Thanks again!
