DVD storage capacity

My DVD-RW says 4.7GB Data 120min 1-2x speed on the label. When I save to it I tell my burner to erase previous contents as prompted but the disc is full after 696 MB of data saving. Why?

A quick format didn't work as I still needed to erase. Although definitely a DVD the disc yesterday seemed to be reading as a CD - not on the burner but on Properties. Even now the properties of the disc show it as a full disc - all blued in with no free space either on the picture or in writing but it is holding the full 1.3 GB I burnt. Anyway I'll keep my fingers crossed that all's OK.
