You are, once again, mistaken on Jorg's CDRecord-ProDVD.
You have to use a block access approach for DVD+R. Jorg has added this
in 2.01a11+, but for _only_ for Ricoh firmware. I don't think
Sony/Philips designs are supported (yet?). I'd be interested to find
out what Ricoh is doing differently (translation of Matsushita/Pioneer
to Sony/Philips commands?).
Previously, Jorg only added DVD+RW drive firmware support to record DVD-
R (and DVD-RW in "record" emulation), and not DVD+R (or DVD+RW for that
matter) itself. That's because, as I've detailed many times, DVD+R is
not like DVD-R. Jorg's release notes talk about that.
Also know that DVD-RW is physically different than DVD-R as well.
Although you can "emulated" a recording to a DVD-RW (just like CD-RW),
it is _not_ recommended, and a real DVD-R (just like CD-R) should be
used.
DVD+R is already half-way there -- as Jorg says ...
"A DVD+R is written in a mode something between TAO and packet
writing mode."
There are similar limitations/issues to any device that can only be
written in block mode. DVD-R can be written in either, just like CD-R.

Also remember that 4.7GB (GB=10^9) is only 4.35GiB (GiB=2^30).
Most OS utilities report GB using base 2, not base 10, so they are
really reporting GiB.
The "Xi" (metric-binary) were only recently standardized by the IEEE
and, I believe now, ISO. Newer OS software/utilities are starting to
use the nomenclature as the base 2 and base 10 prefixes vary by a great
amount.
E.g., 1TiB = 1.1TB -- ~10% difference, quite significant, and it's only
getting greater with greater numbers.
