Cannot burn DVD but can burn CD's.

[Jon Kettenhofen]

There's no fault here.  The difference between the 4.4 and the 4.7GB is 
overhead for the DVD format and index ("directory") written when the 
data meaningful to you is written.  If it were a straight, single track 
song or movie you might get more data but it's all in how and what you 
count as data.
