I don't remember. Likely it was a slip of the finger. It could
also have been I was including an extra reserve for other things
such as transitions (they're relatively small at a few MB each but
if a DVD needs 30 or 40 of them it adds up).
Could also have been adding in a couple extra percent to account
for the multiplexing overhead. A couple percent doesn't sound like
much but it is almost 100MB when talking about a DVD.

DVD media is 4700000000 bytes which is 4.7 "marketing (k=1000) GB" but
4.38 "computer (k=1024) GB"
It's the classic "computer GB" vs "marketing GB".
Bitrates (for both audio and video) are in units of 'k = 1000'.
I've never heard of different encoders using different units so that
shouldn't be a concern.
