1. 8.5 GB DVDs are damn costly. I bought 3 from chennai recently for Rs. 300 a piece.
2. The actual size of a 4.7 DVD is 4.37.
ie 4.37 * 1024^3 bytes = 4.37 GB .
But the media producers just calculate with 1000 instead of 1024, for advertising reasons
ie 4.37* 1024^3/1000^3 = 4.7 GB

Your writer needs to support DL for writing 8.5 GB DVDs. Almost all new writers supports that.

Getiing a bit off topic here but desertwind can u tell me how much u got 800 mb cd's for? I searched the whole lamington road in mumbai but didn't find them. I got them at one place near my house for Rs. 20 each but those were the last 3 he had in stock. They have been too difficult to find for me. And can you tell me which company please.

chindi chor yuo need to configure nero to write discs larger than 700 mb. I haven't seen nero 7 so I can't tell you the exact procedure but it can be found in advanced tab in burning options. Search around a bit. Increase the max. size from 700 to 800.
See if this helps http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=108578
