charmed quark Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I put a small file on a DVD and want to add another. I get the "Disk Not Empty" prohibit when I enter Write Mode, and don't know what to do next. Is it possible I didn't choose the same format for the 2nd file; or something like that? cq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 once you write to a dvd + or - you cant go back and add files later they are write once discs ,you would need a dvd rw and some kind of packet writing software such as Neros InCd to do what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfcrule1972 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Further to polo's comments once the disc is finalised nothing else can be added. I note on my standalone Panasonic DVD recorder that I can record different tv episodes recorded on the disc at different times like an old VHS cassette, but to allow them to be played back I need to finalise the disc....

Altercuno Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 @polopony@ Is InCD needed? Can't Imgburn do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altercuno Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 @polopony@ I don't know either. I know the DVD forums I frequent treat InCD like the plague and nearly always recommend its removal and I always use Imgburn to format +RW, but the question concerned files. Is that different from DVD? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I know IMGburn doesn't support packet writing or multi session writing ,I dont do anything with RW's other than some test stuff and that was years ago when burners first came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
