I had just gotten a Lite-on 1693S and I also purchased Nero 6.6. I updated Nero to current version 6.6.0.16, and I wanted to burn a data DVD. I expected to be able to burn 4.7GB in a DVD but it seems the yellow and red line in Nero express is only at 4.5GB. I have tried adjusting using the advanced/expert settings, but even overburning a a regular dvd is only allowed up to 4.6GB. What happens to the remaining space. Also when I try to burn a DVD double layer, the yellow marker is still at 4.5GB and the red marker is at 8.1GB. I didn't want to burn a dual layer when the yellow marker is at 4.5GB since I have tried burning a 80-min music file with CDs when the yellow marker is at 74 and the rest of the tracks is cut-off (one song doesn't play until the end).

Is there a way to resolve this? (Nero manual is NO help since some of the things mentioned there doesn't really refer to version 6.6. My Lite-on came with Nero 6.3 and I'm assuming it would still be the same as 6.6 when it comes to not fully being able to utilize the entire 4.7GB space on a DVD).
