i think dvd-r is not 4,7 GB but only 4 GB.Anyway, it is very small and it will not last for long.Why?
Let me explain ;
1)when cdr got into the market it was larger than the average hard disk and 400 times larger than the next largest common removable storage,floppy disk.while dvdr will be at least 15 times SMALLER than the average hard disk and 6.5 times larger than CDR when it gets reasonably cheap.
2)dvdr is too small to copy a whole dvd in it (Without any prossesing), and is quite small for high quality-resolution(Definition) video recording.
3)The average hdd today is 40 GB and cost/GB is about 2.5 Euros/GB in greece.so, lets say in one year from now,an average dvdr drive will cost 300 Euros and a 4.7 gb disk 3 euros(now it costs 13). So, if you buy a dvdr and 100 disks they will cost you 600 Euros and you will get 400-470 GB of capacity. With that amount of money you will be able to buy a 400 GB hard disk.
So, our only hope is blue ray dvd (27 GB/layer).That should last for about 5-7 years
