Egon's Dragon Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Burning multisession DVDs. What a tangled mess I've stepped into. I thought "gee, I can just keep adding to it, it's like a huge multisession CD". How foolish of me! I've found a few threads about multisession DVD burning and I see now that DVD-ROM drives will most likely have trouble with them. I have a LITE-ON SHW-160P6S DVD/CD writer, and a LITE-ON SHD-16P1S DVD-ROM, both with latest firmware. Nero (I have 6.6xx), of course, gives the message "additional sessions will not be read on lower than XP" if you try to write a multisession data DVD. If I install Nero Multimounter on this machine, can the ROM drive read multisession DVDs? If I install it on my Dell Laptop with Windows 2K Pro (old Dell Inspiron), can it read them? Or, should I use DVD+RWs? Do I have to erase the disc every time I want to add something (and re-burn the old files plus the new ones)?Other relevant info:XP ProAthlon Duo1GB RAMetc.Thanks very much. This is more complicated than I thought; but then, everything remotely related to computers is more complicated than it needs to be.

ripken204 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 multisesion disk "should" work on all comps, but there are some the have problems with them. a dvd rw allows you to write over, erase, add, whatever you want to do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
