DVD Toolbox created a movie slightly too big

[robinmthomas]

DVD Toobox (or now I guess it is called DVDFab) created a movie that is just barely too big.

If I look in Windows it is only 4.37, but if I look via command line it is 4,701,517,824 bytes.

So, what is the fastest way to get this resolved without having to reburn from DVD. i.e. Can I over-burn the DVD and let the very end get chopped which will likely be the credits?

I am assuming since DVDFab thought it would fit on one disk that it is very close.

You're okay. See below:

Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB
Blank DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB

I have a similar problem. Nero reports a problem with the size of disc two of Merlin. It will not let me burn it. The size in windows is around 4.75GB

I think DVDFab has a potential bug in the size calculation.

So, how do I get Nero to burn it?

Or is there a way I can point a tool at the folder and say "Make ISO" and then use DVDDecrypter to burn it?

exactly..most programs are targetting their final output size to DVD-R and not DVD+R.
