If not...um...try a different program?

Keep in mind that even though a DVD advertises that it can hold 4.7 gigs, in reality it can only hold about 4.24. Some mathematical issue, I can't recall off the top of my head.

No, the DVD-ROM folder is not there. It is just title 1. About trying different software, I know that it will burn, regardless of what I use and regardless of whether it warns me not to. I just don't want to strain the burn/read mechanism, as can happen with "overburns". What I find strange is that DVD-Shrink decides that 4,463 MB is the maximum for a SL disc (not just this one but always) and Nero thinks that 4,483 is fine for a maximum SL burn.

About the 4.7 GB thing, that is just the hard drive and other media manufacturers doing the "1,000 MB = 1 GB" trick; when in reality, 1024 MB = 1 GB. So a DVDr will hold 4,700,000,000 Bytes; which if you go by the 1000 instead of 1024 game, would be 4,700,000 KB; 4,700 MB; and 4.7 GB. In reality this should be 4,700,000,000 Bytes; 4,589,843.75 KB; 4,482.27 MB (pretty close to Nero's cutoff of 4,483 MB, huh?); and 4.38 GB.

I'm guessing it will be fine since I'm sure many people have burned this exact file-set; I just wanted to make sure.
