Image Disk Size

  • Subject: Image Disk Size

I have an AppleScript, which creates sparseimage files of various capacities.

In Tiger, when I selected "4.7 GB" (decimal), I got a sparseimage file with capacity of 4.38 GB (binary) which was the exact, perfect size to burn a DVD.

In Leopard, the same selection now produces a sparseimage file with capacity of 4.06 GB. (I don't know if that's binary or decimal.) I haven't yet tried to burn a DVD with one of these files.

Has something changed that invalidates my calculations in the script? If so, what?
