How may bytes or MB is the capacity of a DVD-R disc? I am currently using a
guessitimate of 4250MB as the limit for my shrinking routine but it would be
nice to have the actaul value for fine tuning.
It's commonly referred to as 4.7 GB. Of course, that's 4.7 GB in
marketspeak, which means its 4,700,000,000 bytes. In *real* GB, divide by
2^30 = (1024*1024*1024) = 1073741824. For MB, divide by 2^20.
Thus, it's
4.7e9/2^30 = 4.377 GB, or
4.7e9/2^20 = 4482 MB
