The DVD+R format allows multiple sessions on the same disc, so you could
write 4 1 GB sessions until the disc is full.  DVD-R discs are "closed" or
"finalized" after you burn to them just once, no matter how much (or how
little) data you put on it -- seems silly to me, why the heck would the DVD
standards group make it that way?  I dunno.
