Leave disc open?

[Guest woody]

So I want to burn an image to a DVD, but it's just 2 GB, so I was wondering if there's a way to leave the DVD open. Is it possible? Thanks.

ImgBurn does not support multi session yet, so in short no.

Kenadjian or LUK,

What does the Incremetal setting under write actually supposed to do. I noticed searching the forums that it had to do with a problem with a Pioneer drive. From the name it would seem to imply one similar to leaving the disk open and being able to add to it later or am I missing something? Nero had such a feature, but I never could get it to work (with reads) with my Asus A7N8X deluxe mobo, and Nero help was essentially useless. With the price of CDs and DVDs lower these days I decided it wasn't worth the problem. When it worked it was useful.

 

btw. I've been using the build mde to do backups and it's working like a charm. I haven't used Nero since ImgBurn came out. Again thanks for a great piece of software LUK, and for software that actually works. The only burns. I especially appreciate the img files. Great way to quickly check if the burn went normally. I had a TY02 that slowed to about 4x in the final .7G of the burn. When I went back and scanned the disk there were SUM1 errors in excess of 5. Visual on disk showed a piece of crap that I had missed prior to the burn. Second burn went perfectly.

 

Thanks again, one really happy user Looking foware to the next release!!!!

Incremental is a different write mode. Most people have heard of SAO / DAO....well incremental is just another one of those. It's nothing to do with being able to add more data to a disc.

 

Now that Pioneer has fixed the issue with their drive (It couldn't burn dvd-r or something properly using DAO), Incremental is pretty pointless really.

 

To read up on the differences between SAO/DAO/Incremental etc you're probably best to search Google or read the MMC specs available at www.t10.org
