DVD burning issues using windows vista

OK so im, backup data out of my laptop. I have about 2 GB ready to be burned onto a dvd and I got a file over to burn was that of 600 MB should adjustment no problem at all but for some reason, vista tells me my dvd is full makes no sence so I burned dvd and went to my next dvd using the 600 MB file and it let me fill the full capacity of 4.7 GB dvd does vista sometimes to put a ghost or sometihng file that won't allow me to fill the disc ive met this problem once before and this is no his almost random logic

Hi cocknballs4u,

Try to copy the files in one shot and check if you still get the error message.
Given that the issue occurs at random times, I suggest that you can delete the temporary files that are created by the burning.

Navigate to the following location and delete them all the files in the temporary folder burn.
Burn \appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary file C:\Users\

Then delete temporary files on the computer.
