Size on disck: for data dvds?

[Matthew Bullis]

So when organizing my file collection to put onto cd and dvd, I've figured 
out that if the properties of a folder say Size On Disc: 698mb, that this is 
filling up a cd with data, and that I can't really put much more data on it. 
I figured this out when I used to use an old program called Stomp Record Now 
Max. This program doesn't work in Windows7, so I use Express Burn. However, 
Express Burn doesn't tell me if I've exceeded the maximum for a dvd. Can 
anyone tell me what the Size On Disc line in the properties should read when 
you can't fit any more data onto a regular 4.7gb data dvd? I realize that 
even though the size on disc may say 698, the number right next to it on the 
same line may say 734 megabytes, which is 34 megs beyond a normal cd, but it 
seems to burn just fine.
Thanks a lot.
