Adding Extra folders to the burn

Post by Phototaker »

I know that DVD MF5 allows you to add to the disc that your burning a folder of 'extras' using the include these files option. I burned a disc & forgot to include them at the time project was rendered.

Can I just use Nero to burn the Video_ts & Audio_ts files that I already have & somehow just add the missing files without having to re render? I'm told that this should be possible when using Nero & possible other programs as well.

There are two types of CD/DVD
Multi-session and No Multi-session.

A standard DVD Video is automatically a 'No multi-session' and so once burned cannot be altered.

There is another type of DVD Video disc - the sort used in Standalone DVD Recorders. This is termed DVD+R and DVD-R - these discs are multi-session and can be altered. On your burning screen you will see a drop down list to choose
DVD-Video (Standard no multi-session disc)
or DVD+VR / DVD-VR (No Menu) - these are DVD "Multi-session" discs.
You also need RW (Read/Write) discs to be able to use this function. Furthermore you cannot burn a DVD+VR / DVD-VR to a hard drive folder but only directly to a disc.

That is being very brief, for more detailed information start here and follow the various links:

Thanks for the swift reply. If I read your reply correctly then I could add an extra file to existing Video_ts folders already on a disk provided that it was a R/W disk that had been nominated as being multi session. As R/W disks aren't printable then the only way to get the extras would be to re render the project.
