A DVD-5 format disc has a storage capacity of 4.71 GB but this equals only 4.39 GiB because media makers use different units. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte

So no way you can fit your files on dvd.

This sounds like the usual problem between representing sizes in Gigabytes (GB) vs. Gibibytes (GiB).

4.7 GB is approximately 4.4 GiB.

$ bc <<< "scale=3; 4.7 * 10^9 / 2^30"
4.377

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix to understand more about this problem.
