DVD/CD usage

Re: DVD/CD usage

CD's hold around 640 to 700 Mbytes depending on the brand. Nothing wrong with generating another set on CD-R's and they are cheaper per disc so doesn't matter if you don't use all of the space on it.

Re: DVD/CD usage

Thanks, guys. I thought so, but it's nice to have it more or less confirmed. The scanning project I mentioned in the wireless router thread has so far netted us 9 folders with about 8 pictures in each one, and Mom was worrying about copying to disk and whether it would run over into two disks. Right now the contents add up to about 25MB; on a 4.7GB there's a lot of space left, so the addition question arose in my mind.

As long as it's the same computer burning the same DVD or CD until it is finalized it should be okay.

Re: DVD/CD usage

With DVD-R I know you can for sure add stuff along the way until you finalize it. I just finalized a disc last night that I hadnt added stuff on it for a few months.

Dumb question: When you're copying data/pix to a DVD+R disk can you stop, then continue to add files later till it's full?
