How To Fill Unused Space On Dvd Backup?

I have found hundreds of threads and programs to shrink the size of a dvd movie to fit on a standard 4.7 disc, but no where can I find any information on how to fill a 4.7 disc when the movie is short (about 3.3 gb) I use dvd decrypter to download the movie and then the same to back it up on dvd-r...however there is left over unwritten space on the disc. I need a way to fill out the unused space and instructions how

Not to waste it All dummy files are used for is fill wasted space. It pushes the data to the outer edge and your not really gaining anything by this. There's no need to use dummy files on a 3.3gig movie.
