| 1389376 | 2014-12-03 05:18:00 | I have just copied some photos from a camera card (16GB) - the properties told me they were 3.81 GB. My DVD says it has a capacity of 4.38 yet each time I tried to burn the whole directory to the disk it told me it did not have the capacity.... what am I missing please - TIA Bryden |

It all has to do with the real sizing of files / Data The room required to write the additional "Overheads" that happen when a DVD is written. Some software is better than others when writing " close to the limit" Its annoying sometimes, as you then have to use DL ( Dual Layer) DVD's. |

| 1389379 | 2014-12-03 07:12:00 | LOL. Have a look at this - www.karbosguide.com Scroll down to "Various DVD types" There it kind of explains the 3.8. Thanks for the compliment :blush: Often people just know things from experience (this goes for anything with anybody) Then sometimes its like my Avatar on Facebook you know things but trying to explain it you need to look it up, other times you just need to look up an answer for the problem: NO ONE knows everything. 6060 In this job you need a bit of a sense of humor or you'd go nuts. ;) |
