Title:
  Brasero thinks the capacity of a blank dvd -r is 4.3 GB when it's
  actually 4.7 GB or 4.3GiB

Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Starting in 11.10 nautilus reports file (iso) size in actual GB, but
  brasero incorrectly uses  4.3 GB as the capacity of a dvd -r

  The actual numbers of a dvd -r are
  available space - 4,706,074,624 bytes/2,297,888 sectors/4.7GB/4.38GIB
  So an iso that is near the true max file size of a dvd -r, while it will fit , is now  rejected by brasero as being to large for the media

  Ex. - have an iso that can and has been burned to dvd -r

  Actual size - 4,691,394,560 bytes
  Nautilus/properties reports - 4.7 GB (4,691,394,560 bytes)
  Brasero shows iso size as 4.7 GB, media capacity as 4.3 GB, refuses to burn

  (as a comparison a dvd burner, ImgBurn, that just uses bytes/sectors  for filesize & media avaialble space shows this & will burn
  iso size - 4,691,394,560 bytes/2.290.520 sectors : dvd -r media - Free Sectors: 2,297,888 ; Free Space: 4,706,074,624 bytes

  K3b use GIB so it also has no problems burning the above mentioned iso

  So it would seem brasero, gnome/nautilus, ubuntu need to get on the
  same page here & brasero needs to use the same method for  both
  filesize & media capacity, either GB or GIB
