[X4U] Tiger DVD burning: LAME!

[netkat at comcast.net]

Right. so, I felt comfortable going by a 
tried-and-true amount, such as 4.25GB as that has 
worked for me scores of times.

In fact, when 4.11GB was deemed "too large," 
putting that very same data into a 4.25GB disc 
image, then burning, DID work.

not the first time I've seen a Mac have serious 
"math" problems when it comes to knowing how much 
space is required for a set of  files.
