DVD too heavy refused by nero

Dear Johan weiz,

What the NERO software says is right, and YES! It is true that an original can have a storage capacity more than 4.7 GB it can have a storage capacity of a lot more like 8.54 GB ( single sided, double layer).

A single sided single layered DISC has two varieties 1.46 GB and 4.70GB

And a single sided Double layered also has two varieties 2.66 GB and 8.54GB (I guess you have bought this one J)

The DVD that has the highest capacity is Double sided Double layer and has a capacity of a massive 17.08 GB

Hope this clears the misunderstanding
