It will fail and you will lose everything on the disc. Great media to play with but far tooo unreliable to be trusted for any archive or backup.

When DVD manufacturer's measure a kilobyte, they use 1,000 = 1 k. However, when computers measure kilobytes, 1,024 = 1 k. So when you take 4.7 GB and measure it in computer terms, you have to divide by 1,024 (several times) instead of 1,000 to figure out what will fit on a 4.7 GB DVD. It's around 4.3 GB. You have the same effect when you buy a hard drive. A 250 GB hard drive will not hold 250 GB of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
