A DVD is normally about 4.7GB, and a CD can be anything from 640MB to
800MB depending on the media and burner.

But that's just it - a DVD is supposed to hold that, but it's always
been 4.2GB here.

A DVD-R formatted UDF or ISO should hold about 4500meg (to avoid any
confusion, that's all in multiples of 1024 bytes) of raw data.

I frankly have no idea if a +R or +RW or -RW disk would be a different
size, but DVD-R I have empirical evidence about. I do my tertiary
backups onto them.

Me too, DVD-R - but never got more than 4.2 gig. Ah well, the byte
faerie, probably....
