Hey, Dale! |

I believe it means your archive is too big for the media disk you. |

Are you trying to write 4.7[GiB] on a 4.7[GB] DVD disc? |

|
| 22 |
4.7 GB (giga) = 4.7 x 10^9 = 4700000000 (DVD media disc capacity) |
| 23 |
4.7 GiB (gibi) = 4.7 x 2^30 = 5046586572.8 (the "too large" file) |

"Gibi" is often incorrectly called "giga" which leads to confusions. |
