I have a .iso that is 8.01 GB and when I use Toast to burn, it says it needs 8.01 GB of space on the DL that I have , but that the disc only has 7.91 GB of free space to write to.... there for it can not write to the disc. Now, I could live with that if that was the true size of the DL disc. The DL disc in the case and the DVD says that it's capable of up to 8.5 GB of video/information. Are there any applications that look at the real size of a DVD or are DVDs the same as a HD, in that they lie about the real size of the disc. I know HD's are like this, but if a manufacture is going to slap on the DVD that a DSVD is capable of 8.5 GB of info, it should not be other wise. If anything, maybe say it's 8 GB.

Yeap. 7.91 GB is the capacity you can get.

They're playing the 1 GB = 1000000000 B game. Computers count sizes with powers of 1024, so 1 GB = 1073741824 B. (Some use the term "GiB" for the computer versions to clarify the distinction. Using those terms, 8.5 GB = 7.91 GiB.)

Well, I solved the issue by sifting through the iso, and removed 49mb that made it JUST, pass for burning.
