you're all wrong

A DVD-R holds 4.37GB (4,700,000,000 bytes). also known as 4.7GB.

Companies dont use "computer gigabytes" to sell their products.

1 "computer gigabyte" is 1,073,741,824 bytes. 1 "company giga byte" is actually 1,000,000,000 bytes.

computers divide bytes by 1024, because that is a power of 2, where companies advertise them as divided by only 1000, for ease.

thats why a 100GB harddrive, is actually 93ish GB.

no dvd is larger. Vice City is 4.347GB. Smaller than a dvd of 4.37GB.
