    what size is ideal for a dvd-r when reencoding? I've hear that there can sometimes be problems for some disc past the 4 gb mark.

    Thatt's with cheap media.

    Quality media is 4,700,000 bytes. That's 4.3 GB.

    I find that the optimum DVD-R size is 4,705,XXX,XXX bytes. Anymore than this causes me to get nervous about pushing the envelope!

    RitekG04 DVD-R mine are always around 4.6 GB my largest burn was 4,698,546,342 bytes...I was nervous but it burned and plays fine. Since I use IC7 I have to calculate compressed size myself so this is where I aim.

    same here, Ritek G04 and I push mine to the max of 4489MB and a couple of times I've filled the whole DVD leaving a few bytes

    some users keep a 100MB spare or so for fingerprints, disc wobble, media quality etc so I guess it's just up to yourself as it's best you test a few in your player
