There are different types of DVDs that support different capacities. According to the wikipedia article (Capacity and nomenclature of (re)writable discs), there are two versions of DVD-R discs, ~3.68 GiB and ~4.37GiB (Don't look at GB, but GiB, that's the actual data capacity).

Always look at what's printed on the DVD, they usually mention if they're DVD-R or DVD+R. If they don't mention anything (i.e. no-named), don't buy them, unless you're up for the risk.

Prefer DVD+R (no specific reason, but if you need one, they don't have 2 versions and are 4.37 GiB in capacity).

You could also try the dual layered dvds, which provide ~8 GiB in capacity.

For testing purposes buy 2-3 DVD+RW discs.
Burn at low speeds, 4x recommended.
Devices such as dvd burners die eventually (at least in my case), after 2-3 years they become faulty. For example, burning worked in my case, except that I couldn't boot using any cd/dvd media. I bought a new CD/DVD burner and recycled the old one. Now the new one after 2 years burns only at speeds lower than 10x. Go figure. :)


How do I burn a DVD with more than 3.8 GB data?
