how to burn dvd

[Guest_new]

hello
I'm trying to learn to burn DVD, I have a problem, maybe this is something simple, why I can't burn 700 MB file to 4.7  DVD , Nero 6.0 is showing me that I do not have enogh space?
Do i need to convert it to specific file or there is moething wrong with my DVD burner?
Thanks for help.

if you are using Nero express then you need to check which burner nero is listing as the burner to use. under NEro express there is a drop down menu displaying the recorder(s) you will find your DVD burner listed twice the first will have [DVD] after it the second will display [CD RW} usually by default nero will have the [CD RW] as the chosen burner and if you try burning a DVD then it will tell you there isnt enough space.
