[Disc Erase]

DVD+RW MUST be formatted before the drive will accept any 'Write' commands....

 

OK, that's what I needed to know.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Does a Format need a full erase on a blank virgin disc?

[Disc Erase]

I am using a DVDRW and ImgBurn to copy locally made DVD's.

 

When I load a DVD+RW into the draw and ask ImgBurn to write the previously saved image file to disc it says that is has to format the disc. It then does a complete erase (not a quick one) before it does anything else.

 

All the DVD's that are used are LÖGIK 1 - 4x virgin media (i.e. brand new and never used). Is this normal beahviour as it does take a lot longer than say Nero to burn a DVD by this method.

 

Cheers.
