4.7GB - I am holding one in my hand right now. There are dual layer DVD-Rs that hold 8GB or so.
beartracker is thinking CD-R

initially DVDs have been over 15 gigs, then they found out that the advertising those might reason their industry to essentialy give way as human beings might decide for terribly few DVDs. so as that they dropped it to 4.7 gigs and eight.5 gigs. Blue ray has a technique of 25 gigs and HDD single layer is 15, double 30 gigs.

hello debbie.
this may be the technical answer to your question.
you will probably not be able to record 4.7 GB of data on a 4.7 GB DVD.
the capacity of a 4.7 GB DVD is actually calculated in units of 1,000 bytes.
1 GB = 1,000 MB = 1,000,000 KB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
i believe a computer calculates capacity in units of 1,024 bytes. so a 4.7 GB disc has an actual capacity of 4.3 to 4.4 GB.
a dual layer one, although it states 8.5GB, will be about 7.95GB.
hope this helps! would be glad to answer any other questions you might have.

Most DVD-R disks are 4.7 Gigabytes capacity. Not sure, but there may also be double-sised ones too...check it out. But the first answer someone gave you is for CD-R (720Mb)
