[G4] DVD burning tips

[Tony Gamble]

Just a thought...

3.2 Gb doesn't seem like a lot of headroom for working with DVD's, 
which can store up to 4.5Gb (for the regular blanks; up to 9Gb possible 
for the one you're copying from, depending on whether it is factory or 
home recording).

Might be relevant...
