I have noticed the same phenomenon with k3b: It fails to account for some
extra data needed to burn the DVD (I assume it's probably some kind of
bookkeeping data or whatever which a data DVD needs) when it estimates
the space still available. If you fill it up completely, it will just say
it cannot create the DVD. You have to leave some space.
I have always wondered why it does that. Maybe a bug or an oversight?
