Blank DVD shows incorrect size

[Burn100]

They have a capacity of 4.7 GB. But both Windows Explorer and IMGBurn says 1.31 GB of 1.31 GB free. I can read disks fine. I tried with Verbatim and YDD and the result is the same.

Here is the Disc info from Imgburn:

And what happens when I try to burn a dvd with 4 GB of data.

If you've tried both Verbatim and another brand of DVD-R, then the issue is either one with your burner or some obscure Windows error.

 

First off, try changing the I/O Interface in ImgBurn.  Tools --> Settings --> I/O --> Page 1 --> Interface.  Try changing to a different interface.  It shouldn't be necessary, but I would recommend closing and reopening ImgBurn between changing I/O Interfaces.  See if any of those different Interfaces help.

 

Barring that not working, I'd try getting a new DVD burner, preferably a different make, model, and manufacturer.
