The bug:
Although the file size indicator goes red, it allows burning a 4.5 Gb session on a 4.7 GB (actually 4.4 GB) disk, which results in first
episode of the series being 250Mb rather than the actual size 310MB.

After a more careful look at the preferences, I saw the "allow
overburning" checked, which clears up the situation for me.

Thus the bug I am submitting comes to "allow overburning option being selected by default". I think in order to stop incidences such as mine from occuring, which I don't think would be rare, by default the option must be not selected.

The story:
While burning DVD-R (4.7 GB) on recently bought LG drive, the file size indicator went red at 4.5 GB. I thought ok, it is probably caution. I did not know about actually the actual size limit is around 4.4 (after trying with small files and googling).

The burning went ok (which didn't happen with 0.3.10, media detection failed) but in the end it said "operation failed!", which now sounds reasonable as I learnt about the file size issue.
