Bug Description

I have 4.7GB DVD wich I can burn correctly with Brasero (detects size automatically) or with k3b (detects wrong size 4.4gb but lets me "overburn").

Nevertheless with xfburn i can not burn my 4.7GB dvd, it tells me "not enough space on disk" over 4.3GB compilation. I tried several compilation sizes from 4.4 to 4.7 (last is the current available space) with the same error (not enough space on disk). After 4.3GB compilation size is asking me to enter a 7.9 dvd (Dual Layer I belive).

Single-layer DVD disk is 4.7 Gigabyte size, but GB doesn't always mean gigabyte - some software uses gigibytes instead of gigabytes and DVD disk is only 4.4 Gigibyte size, see:

Btw, new XfBurn version (0.5.2) is released at 2014-04, see
http://git.xfce.org/apps/xfburn/tree/NEWS

xfburn 0.5.2 (2014-04-09)
- Blu-Ray support
- Large file support (iso9660 level 3)
- Small bugfixes
Many thanks to Thomas Schmitt who supplied numerous patches and much debugging help to make this release with BluRay support possible.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS has older - 0.5.0 release, maybe someone could package new 0.5.2 release to PPA? Please :)
