I'm unclear on how to add/delete files, from a DVD+RW disc.

 

I burned some files onto a disc. When I tried to add, or delete a file, I couldn't.

Am I right to assume, that in order to add/delete files, I must uncheck *finalize* in the write settings?

Or is there something else I'm missing?

Also, any disadvantages to not finalizing, other than the chance of overwriting?

And, is there any chance of overwriting a file, if I know there's room on the disc?

 

I have some important data, I just want to be clear, so I don't inadvertently delete it, while adding a file.

Thanks for any help!!!

I believe the functionality you're talking about is only possible with packet writing software or on formatted DVD-RAM.

 

ImgBurn doesn't let you delete anything from a disc. Once you've burnt something, it's burnt forever and the disc is closed/finalised.

 

You cannot turn off finalising, the option in the settings is for something else to do with finalising.

 

I would actually advise you to NOT use DVD+RW as if it's a big floppy disc, use a memory stick or DVD-RAM disc instead.

Thanks for replying!

I rarely use these discs for anything other than just storage.

But wanted to add something to it, and wasn't sure of how it works.

 

Thanks again!
