Heaven or Hell
I'm trying to burn a DVD with Data that is 4.6 GB......
It's telling me that it is too big for a DVD....?

DVD's are normally 4.7 GB ???

what is going on ?
 
ah sry then i cant help since im not using leopard yet :S
but there should be a "Compress Files" option somewhere. Test it out, because sometimes the "4.6gb" statements can be false (like some calculate 1gb as 1.000.000 bytes, which is wrong) so 4.6 and 4.7 are very close and that could be the case.
 
Usually when burning with Toast, I get about 4.37GB of usable space. The rest is just formatting & bits/bytes nonsense. 4.6GB definitely won't work...
