Is it possible to multisession a DVD-R

Hi
When I copy photo files etc to a blank cdr i always use the multisession option in Nero Express as i like to add extra files as required but when i try the same thing using a DVD-R i get an error message telling me that previous files will not be seen if i use that option surely you should be able to multisession a DVD-R as i always thought it was just a high capacity cdr any advice and help would be appreciated.

 

Hi alboy,

Could it be just a warning that a multisession may not work? You don't say that you have tried making one or does it not let you proceed.

From the readme of Sonic RecordNow DX:

"8. Windows 98/ME does not read multi-session DVDs properly
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows 98/ME systems can only read the first session recorded to an
appendable DVD disc. If you open an appendable
DVD on a Windows 98/ME system and some files appear to be missing, try
opening the disc on a computer running a different operating system.


9. Possible DVD data loss with Windows 2000/XP
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonic RecordNow DX allows you to make multiple recordings to a single DVD.
However, a serious problem can occur on Windows 2000 and XP systems
once the total amount of data or music recorded during multiple jobs
exceeds 4 GB. Once the total amount of data or music exceeds 4 GB,
only the first recording job placed on the disc will be visible to
your computer. This problem does not affect single recording jobs
larger than 4 GB.

Microsoft has been working to fix this problem. For more information,
