    Hello all,
    T've had a bit of a google on this but I can't seem to find an answer.
    Can I add more video files to a DVD RW that already has some video files on it? I know it can be done with a CDRW and word files.
    Appreciate any help I can get.
    Old dog.

    As long as you have enough space on the disk. A DVD has about 4.38GB available on it and you haven't closed it.

    Thanks for the reply Puppywunder58,
    I'll have a look at Nero and ImgBurn to see how to stop the programs closing the sessions. Can a disc be used on a DVD Player if it isn't closed?

    As far as I know, until the disk is closed(finalized) it will only play in the drive it was burned on. Least that's been my experience.

    Hi plastidust,
    I have looked around and that seems to be the way it is, also multisession for DVD is apparently very dodgy and NOT recommended. I will give it a miss.
    Thank you for your replies.

    I've never tried multisessions when burning movies. I can hardly do it right just getting one movie on a disk.:-D
