growisofs size calculation



Hi, I've been using dvdr/growisofs for about a week
(ie this may be stupid) and I've run into a problem. 
I want to burn the files in dvd/
|*** 877 ~ ***>du -sh dvd
4.3G    dvd
but 
|*** 880 ~/dvd ***>growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J .
Executing 'mkisofs -R -J . | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvd
obs=32k seek=0'
:-( /dev/dvd: 2295104 blocks are free, 2370945 to be
written
:-( write failed: No space left on device

The actual number of blocks to write is 2245080 (based
again on du).  Thought I'd ask for advice before
tossing a dvd away trying overburn.

Also is there a way to have multiple source
directories and not have them appear on the target
dvd?  
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /path/to/file1
/diff/path/file2
would appear on the dvd as
/file1
/file2
Thanks!
