Why not make a bootable ISO on a USB stick instead?
Instructions to do so .
First time I've seen this,
I have a Dell Server 2012 R2 installation ISO file.
It is 5.02Gb in size.
I need to write this to a 4.75Gb DVD
The DVD Reader in the Poweredge2950 server has only a stock standard DVD reader in (I can buy a USB Blueray if needed)
Can this 5.02GB ISO be written to a single sided DVD and if possible can it be done with Power ISO
Cheers
In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

I believe that there are ways to do it, but I do not know how. Back in the day, IBM recovery disks used to squeeze more on their CDs than the standard 360Kb. Tristen's suggestion has merit.

The process to place more data onto CD's than originally intended is called "overburn".
In the past, some CD burning programs would allow overburning while others did not.
I am unaware if it is possible to apply the same technique to a standard 4.7GB DVD.
Normally, if requiring higher storage capacity, one would employ the use of a dual layer DVD (8.5 GB capacity) .

Thanks Tristan, I ended up using Rufus and created a bootable USB Stick. It works great.
Thanks very much for your input
Much appreciated.
Cheers

I'm very pleased that you have accomplished your task, SB.
Thank you for very much your acknowledgement.

I'm glad you got it sorted, how ever just for future readers... .. You would never attempt to overturn a DVD ever..
A 5gb ISO is not intended to be burnt to a single layer DVD.. The ISO is to be burnt to a 8.5gb dual layer DVD Or a single layer blu-ray.. Alternatively as you have done, create a bootable USB if the system supports it.
Dual layer burners and discs are very cheap now, I got a pack of 100 for 30 bucks from Msy. And blu-ray is getting cheaper.
