Guys all I want to know is, why does DVD Flick always tells me that it can't burn the project when I increase the disk use to more than 96%?
Why can't I use up till 100% (or at least 99%). This gives way to a higher bitrate, and besides, why use up a portion of a disk.
Please note that even though DVD media state that their capacity is 4.7GB, the actual capacity is of 4.49GB. ie. 4710400KB (DVD Flick plays it safe, uses up to 4.3GB)
What is the percentage referring to? ... 100% of what? Is it of 4.3GB as it's supposed to be (Chosen Target Size)? If so then why doesn't it let the project get burnt, not even at a lower percentage. Maybe the cause is a "misunderstanding" between Flick & ImgBurn . . . .
I know, I don't mind overburning, usually up to 4600MB. 4.37GB is the amount DVD Flick is using for projects (by which I understand is the 100%).
So why not burn using more than 96% of the disk. I know I can adjust the Target Bitrate but then I end up Shrinking it again or will have to start all over again coz it won't burn it.
. . .whatever, amybe DVD FLick will make amendments in future versions.

Thanks a lot for your help!
I thought you were asking a rhetorical question, but I see you are rather serious about this matter...
My take on it?
Is probably because DVD Flick(hence its creator) is smarter than a fifth grader that try to squeeze one last MB of data onto a disc, thinking it will make a difference, and then make a coaster.Then you get the threads with "my DVD freezes and pixelates when it gets to the end", or "I can't make a copy of a copy" turd threads. Your 3% difference, when talking about bitrate/quality is probably translated to maybe another ~200 Kbit/s, a difference that most likely no one will ever notice.
Of course bearing in mind that's it 's open source software you could always get the source code and build your own.. while changing the max_size string for dvd5
