Not everyone has double-layer DVDs. I have always made it my goal to
test the 64-bit DVD's and logging errors with Bugzilla.

All milestones have been around 4.4 GB and have always fit in 4.7 GB
Verbatim DVDs.
Why are they deviating from this unless it was an oversight?

I prefer testing on real hardware rather than a virtual environment.
