Hacking a good disc size

[iFish]

hey guys i was crious what size of a dvd-r is a good size i have a 4.7 and its not big enough and someone please tell me a good size

 

[mousex]

There are not that many sizes

4,7Gb is right, just enable features like Overburning in Nero or simply use Imgburn.

4.7 too small? its standard. the only game you willl need dual layered discs are for super smash brothers brawl.

i tried b urning guitare hero smash hits and itt needs umm let me check 4.37 gb but when i tryied to burn it it says you need like 100 more mb and my dvd-r on the front says 4.7 but on the pc when its empty it says 4.17 free space and 200 and something used when i didnt even load anything on it i even formatted it

With imageburn, you can just let it ignore it..

and i dont know how to use img burn i use write to dics then chose the iso i wanted and the write part isnt in color so i cant click it

you said you formatted it that may be the problem try using a brand new dvd-r not a formatted dvd-rw or dvd-r and you shouldn't have a problem

dvds only come in one size 4.7 gb dual layer dvds come in only one size 9.4 gb or something like that you only need to use regular dvds unless you are going to burn off super smash bros. which is a dual layer dvd

 

[kobykaan]

4.7gb = Single Layer DVD

8.54gb = Dual Layer DVD

Most Wii games are Single Layer 4.7gb sized!

With the exception of the odd couple one that springs to mind is SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL (due to the amount and size of videos the game contains)

Although a Single Layer 4.7gb version exists in the backup world with a video removed and relinked to another one to make it fit the standard Single Layer disk

Use Verbatim DVD-R or +R with bitsetting to DVD-ROM and burn @ 4x to be safe
