Easy hombre, tell me this which program are using thats telling you that half of your DVD is gone ?
Also what type of DVD disc are you using and what recording session are you doing ?
If you are only doing a one time burn, yes it will leave it half way full, if your doing a multi session it will up.
Beware though if your using a DVD+-RW disc you can erase the disc, but you are limited as to how many times it will let you do this before this is finalized and closed.

I am not using any program i just go to star, open computer where it show the list of your drives. ( the disk is in the drive btw) and its displaying 2gb left ( it's a 4gb ) so i open to see whats taking that space and there is nothing. it is a Maxell DVD + R. my optical drive is pretty decent if you are wondering is a HP dvd1270.
Alright then, it sounds like your drive is having a hard time detecing the right size on that DVD+R.
Let's do these 2 things, one find a firmware update for your drive and flash it to a new stable version.
Then I want you to atleast try that DVD+R somewhere else to make sure your not getting the same problem.
Here is the link if the firmware doesn't help maybe it's time to look into a new DVD-RW dual layer burner..
I can help you find one for under 59.00, just say the word and I'll post the link...

Mak, I believe he is using a new DVD+R disc, I did some research on his drive tonight, it's not as stable as it should be.
Checking out some more problems that have been reported by hewlette customers and non ones.
Thats why I recommended he give that firmware a shot if it fails like I am guessing, he needs to look into a different burner and something more stable.
