I would like to know the capacity of my dvd discs. Unfortunately I no longer have the wrapping and there is nothing on the disc itself. So was wondering if I could insert a blank and see capacity that way. Tried it but don't see anything.
iMAC, Mac OS X (10.5.7)
You should be able to insert a blank, then in the Finder select the DVD icon and do Get Info (either File > Get Info or command-I (the letter "i")) The Get Info window should tell you how much space there is on the disc.
Most DVDs (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW) are nominally 4.5-4.7GB unless you purchased dual-layer DVD media (eg DVD+R/DL) in which case they are nominally 8.5 GB.

No dvd icon will show on desktop or finder. Thought of getting info from there already. But did find some old dvds, not my brand now but figured mine now are the standard 4.5-4.7. So thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Shows up on the Desktop & Finder on my Macs. Leopard 10.5.8. Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Will verify on Lion tomorrow at the office.
how can you tell how many gb's on our a dvd?
