Steffen found the problem for this yesterday on our annual GAG meeting.
DVD+RW are a single big disc where you access every place. So the track
size is always 4.7GB. I had the same problem with my drive. Try to read
the track. You will obtain always a file of maximum DVD size. At DVD+R
only the really the required size is reported for you can't change it
anymore. Steffen promised to implemented an improvement.
