    DVDFab losing out on 100+MB of space!

    I've noticed that DVDFab considers a DVD5 to have 4300MB (Which is 4.1-ish GB) when a DVD5 can actually hold 4.35GB (DVD Shrink creates disks of this size when using DVD5 blanks). Similar losses are had with DVD9 DVDs: A DVD9 DVD will sometimes show a conversion ratio of less than 100% (Say 98 or 99%) when this should always be 100% when copying to another DVD9!

    This should be a very simple fix, and will gain some extra space for more video data (= higher quality!).

    Thanks!

    p.s. A little suprised this oversight had made it all the way to version 6 (which is what I have), but I guess nobody's perfect.

    It is not an oversight and can be manually set to 4472 if you so desire.

    It is default set at 4300 to stay away from the edge of the disc where most problems occur.

      Go to setting and down to DVD/Blu Ray then write and under the writable media size there is a drop down arrow click this and you will see the different sizes you can select for DVD-5 and DVD-9 you even have this option in ver 6, just check your settings and you would have seen this

        Last I checked, the setting is available during the trial and paid version only. The free version does not let you change the values.
