Hi codythatsme!!

Its not that the space is disappearing, but it is normal

Usual DVD-R only can hold almost 4.3/4.4 GB data, eventhough the size is mentioned to be 4.7 GB.

The same goes to hard drive as well. When you bought a 300 GB hard drive, you might only get to use around 270 GB only. This is because the difference in term of size calculations
