dr_ml422 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I've been reading the guides for a couple of hours now and tried the search function and for the life of me can't find where I think I saw what a dvd-r, or dvd+r blank actually holds. In the guides section it says that it'll report the whole size for a dvd+r blank in the description window. I've seen else where different sizes for actual output onto a dvd-r or dvd+r blank. What can each actually hold w/out using a transcoder? This would be helpful so I could set a default output size that will reasonably fit onto a dvd-r or dvd+r blank using any other proggie so that when I use ImgBurn in read mode I can create a copy that will fit onto a dvd-r or +r w/out it telling me I need a dual layer disc or that I have insufficient space on the blank. I swear I thought I saw it in the guides here somewhere. Talking about dvd 5 output which says 4.7gb but actually isn't. Thnx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_ml422 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 DVD-R is 4,489MB and DVD+R 4,483MB. Hi Cynthia. Thnx for coming to the rescue. I knew I saw it some place here. Lot of ground to cover in the guides. What happen to the 4300 n something figure that's posted w/some guides on Shrink, Fab etc...? New findings?

Cynthia Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Some cheap media have a bad habit of being very bad at the end of the disc. Only burning up to something like 4300 reduces the problems for write/playback errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely burn quicker as some of the other fellas have attested to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
