are there any blank dvds available to burn larger than 4.7GB?

hello

ive been working on a highly detailed dvd the past month

unfortunatly it exceeds the file size limit of 4.7

when i go to view>project info, it gives me specs of the project

it shows a red bar full, saying 6.2GB of 4.2GB

i was also curious why it said 4.2 when most blank dvds hold up to 4.7GB?

so i am guessing my project is up to 6.2GB?

this is really hurting for me, i would love to keep all of my work on there without taking any off for the limit on burning. are there any blank dvds you can purchase that are over 4.7 GB? and if they do sell those kind is there a setting or something i can do to let idvd know im burning it on a larger disc?

i know that they sell 20GB blue ray, but i am not interested in that...i looked around for a little but pretty much saw all 4.7GB sized dvds

what should i do? do they hopefully sell larger discs? if so where?

please help! im leaving for college tues and i want to try to get this burned by tomorrow!

thankyou for your time

Burning a disk image and then previewing in DVD player can tell you if the encoding went correctly, no drop outs, typos (I get lots of those at time) before you burn to disk and find out later that it's not quite right. It also lets you burn additional disk at any later time without having to go thru the encoding process again which us the bulk of the overall finishing process.
