Is there any way that I can burn music onto a 4.7GB blank dvd, filling the
entire dvd?

Yes, this can be done with full DVD quality or better, and some
commercial discs are available in this format called DVD-Audio. Many
commercial discs in this format are up to 6 channel surround and use
about twice the sampling rate of commercial CDs. However you can burn
to DVD-A using normal stereo CD standard audio, and in this case a
single DVD will hold about 6 or 7 standard commercial DVDs worth of
audio. Some DVD players will play back DVD-A, you have to check the
specifications of them. Most computer player programs, including WMP,
will not play standard DVD-A. A few high end programs, such as some
top versions of Cyberlink Deluxe will.

The programs to encode and burn DVD audio are mostly from software
companies that cater to recording professionals, and range in price
from about US $100 to thousands of dollars. The entry level Bronze
from Minnetonka records only audio with no video such as photos,
menus, etc and costs around $100. You need you audio in normal CD PCM
format(high resolution wave). Even WMP will rip CDs to the HD in
this .wav format. Once you have what audio you want on the HD, you
then bring up Minnetonka Bronze, and select to record at the normal CD
stereo standard. You then drag and drop each audio cut you want onto
the screen. You are limited to 99 tracks per disc. If you have more,
you could combine some tracks into one using an audio wave editor
before you start recording. After all of your cuts are on the screen,
you burn to a DVD with this program. You could record at higher bit
rates and up to 6 channel if you have these audio sources in .wav
format on your HD. Since most home users do not have this type of
audio, this type of recording will not be of use to them. The few
commercial DVD-A discs available are encrypted using a method more
advanced and secure than for standard DVDs. Thus you will not be able
to rip them to the HD for putting on a DVD-A. Some of these commercial
DVD-A disc also have a normal DVD surround audio, such as Dolby
surround, recorded on them in addition to DVD-A so that they will play
with reduced resolution on DVD players that do not support DVD-Audio.

Of course you can burn a data disc on a DVD. This can include music,
web pages, text files etc. This is a good way to backup important
things you do not want to lose. However, if you have music backed up,
the disc is only for reading back to your computer and will not play
on a stand alone DVD or CD player. I have a few backup DVDs that
include some music in various formats.
