There are two things which you need to keep in mind. First off the blank
dvd you are using. Is it dvd+r or dvd-r? Note your punctuation here.
Not all drives support both standards however if you have a good drive
then it shoud support both the plus and the minus blank dvd media. The
minus media is older while the plus is a newer standard. You are right
in that it should hold around 4.1 gigabytes of data. What I'd try using
is a program like nero6 which supports writing to blank dvd media. Your
LG drive should have come with at least a code for Nero6 Express which
is pretty easy to use.
Let me know if I can help further.
Second, if you are only trying to copy data over such as files, mp3s,
etc then you should be able to put anything you want on it. If you are
trying to copy a movie then you will have some trouble in that most
commercial dvd movies are encrypted and you would need to decode the
movie first and then convert to another format in some cases before
burning it onto a blank dvd.
