james_hardin Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 The difference between Hex math and Decimal math. Just as your "4.7gb" discs only hold 4.3gb. Gets even funnier because Double Layer and Dual Layer hold different amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually - it's Binary - not Hex (2^10 = 1024) There are only 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those who don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
