Data on DVD ! ! !

[ax3]

How much data such b really written on a dvd [4.7gb] & dual dvd [8.4gb] ????

many ppl suggest only 4.1gb & 8.0gb repectively .....

& slow writting should b done ....

[kaustav_geek]

Slow writing makes sense. But I don't really believe the figures given for burning lesser than what can be done.

[Quiz_Master]

I never do more then 4400 MBs. (And never less then 4380 MBs)
And never got any problems.
Thats the perfect figure I think.

the dvd can be burnt only uptil 4.35 gb max 4.7 is only hypothetical u never get it. i dont know about the dual layer

[casanova]

When I use Nero, it gives me 4500MB to burn while ulead gives 4700MB. Next thing discs burnt on ulead spoiled quickly. 4400-4450 is a nice content usage

I buy DVDs (4.7) of a Brand Called LASERtras for Rs. 9/- and I write max of 4.1GB with 8x speed !!



Works fine with me

[infra_red_dude]

me too max out at abt 4.1gb. but i've noticed one thing. inspite of setting multisession off in nero i can see the difference in the data burnt area on the underside (jus like what happens when we do not close a multisession cd) the burnt part is denser... anyone facing this problem? i also tried roxio suite but it still happens. it also happens when i burn image files (iso) on a dvd or cd.

[Choto Cheeta]

Well That is what I forgot to mentioned these days, I dont trust these Cheap DVD (-/+) R or CD R on multisasions most of the time I write disk At Once

Yes only with DVD RW / CDRW i do multisation

[infra_red_dude]

yeah even i set the multisession off in dvd.. but still it happens.. i've tried moserbaer, sony, imation and other brands... but its the same.. the disk is probably not closed properly.. can be identified on the dye side.

Its because of the whole computer 1024 thing ..

Theoretically, we use 1KB = 1000 Bytes

But on the comp, we use 1KB= 1024 Bytes ..

Thats y the diff. in space .. it is generally around 4.48GB

[ax3]

& doing a multisession on a normal DVD +- r .......

how much space do u tend 2 lose ???

as v lose 10 mb on a cd .........

[Gigacore]

4.5 and 8.1
