    When manufacturers of both hard drives & DVDs quote capacity they are in fact referring to a GB being 1000 MB. In reality its 1024 MB. So in your case 4.7 GB DVD capacity is in fact 4.7 x 1000 MB = 4700MB. 4700MB is in fact 4700/1024 = 4.58GB

    The fact that you couldn't burn it is also due to the fact that then authoring a DVD you will have around 100MB overhead. Leaving aroung 4.4GB ish for content.
