Why is it that dvd-r's only have 4.36g of space, when the drives all state 4.7g's. Is the difference used to finalize the disc, or is it just a limitation of the recordable version of dvds. Thanks!

This is normal. The number specified is not using computer units:

4700000000 / 1024 /1024 /1024 = 4.36GB.
