I use the default setting on dvd shrink of 4464...but i see a lot of people here don't.I've never had a bad disc..i only use sony & maxell dvd's.Does anyone here use the default setting as i do..also have any of you had problems using the default setting? Just wandering how many use it or do the custom option.

i've had problems with it, hence why i constantly advise ppl against it - i recommend 4300MB, been caught out with the default, far too close to edge for my liking, even on top notch media

cant really fathom how you get 4464, as the equation below explains.4300 is what i use generally

Keep in mind that manufacturers quote the capacity of a writable DVD disc in decimal (base 10) rather than binary (base 2) notation so a 4.7 GB disc stores 4.7 billion bytes [4:700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1000 = 4,700,000 KB ÷ 1000 = 4,700 MB ÷ 1000 = 4.7 GB] . Expressed in binary notation (as is typical with CD-R, CD-RW and most operating systems) the same disc has a capacity of roughly 4.38 GB [4:700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1024 = 4,589,844 KB ÷ 1024 = 4,482.27 MB ÷ 1024 = 4.38 GB] .

Shrinks DVD5 default setting is 4464. I don't know how they arrive at that, but I use custom 4300 to avoid burning to close to edges.

NO 4300 IS THE max that you really want to burn to as the closer to the edge the more uneven the ink is and this is where a lot of errors occur

if you have got cheap/bad media you should really set it to 4200/4100 so as to avoid burning too close to the edge.with better brands of media you should be ok at 4300
