From What is DVDr?

Is it 4.7GB or 4.37GB?
DVD-5 is a single layer DVD that stores up to about 4 700 000 000 bytes and that is 4.37 computer GigaBytes where 1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes (4 700 000 000 / 1024 = about 4589843KB / 1024 = about 4482MB / 1024 = about 4.37GB). So why does it says 4.7 GB on the DVDrs? Because they are not using computer GigaBytes, they use standard kilo where 1 kilobyte is 1000 bytes. DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W supports this format.
