(not) finalizing a disc

[sgr1]

Hello everyone,

 

I have just started to use ImgBurn. It is very nice.

In my first burn the disc was automatically finalized; I think so because when I try to use the disc again I get "Disc not empty" error.

How do I prevent this automatic finalization ? I do not want to waste a full DVD for one or several files.

(By the way, I would expect that something so basic would appear in the Guides, but could not find any.)

 

Thanks

Imgburn doesn't support multisession burning without a .cue file. Use Nero if you have to or, better still, a flash drive

2.4.0.0 Released: Sunday 10th February 2008

 

 

Added: Support for multi-session/track CD reading/burning (*using a CUE file - this includes Audio CD's from anything DirectShow/ACM can handle - AAC/APE/FLAC/MP3/MPC/OGG/PCM/WAV/WMA etc).

If you use a cue file with data, can you go back and add more data to the same disk? Would this be the multisession feature?

No, it's burning a multisession disc that IS a BIN/CUE.

 

You can't ever 'go back and add more' with ImgBurn. Once the disc has been burnt it's finalised.

 

If you want to use a disc for multiple writes, get a DVDRAM and do it properly using Windows's built in support. All you have to do is format it using FAT32 or whatever and it becomes like a hdd where you can just drag and drop onto it.

 

Personally I still say it's far far far easier to use a USB pen.

This is coming up over and over and over already.
