From what I've read and understand, just because blank media says 4.7, it actually has only 4.37 I do believe. Is what I've noticed when I back up a movie unto one it only burns 4.3.

also i am surprised you can get anything working as roxio has known isssues with practically every other type of software known to man.

@ Arkion: you are correct in your assumption, heres the mathematical equation that proves your point posted by:

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] .

@ Greatnate: have you considered the possibility that you wont be able to get this to a single layered disc but will need a D/L DISC.

You might try downloading DVD Shrink from the software section of this site, follow the instructions or use the exellent guides found in the guide section on this site. Open your file in Shrink and see if that works for you.
