And, also, theres this thing called 'Make Compatible', and it kinda closes the DVD so that more Drives can read the DVD, but I wont be able to add any more data to it. On the Sonic software, theres this 'Finalize' option, which I think is exactly the same. My, question is: 'Wat is the difference between 'Make Compatible' and 'Finalising' the disc? My second question is: By the method 'Data Disk', Wat is that basicallly? Cant u just drag and drop? Thnx =)	Naruto28 (7236)

I dont use Sonic (I think the CD is here somewhere tho) . I use Nero . I've heard of people not finalising an audio cd tho, but not a DVD . ( some programs may finalise a DVD anyway) . Data disc, well in Nero anyway, (there's an option in Nero for creating data disks), I would say it means files you've downloaded (exe files that u normally install, like Opera/Firefox etc) . In Nero u "add" files to the cd u want, then finalise it, if u want, then burn . Something called Mount Rainier ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Mount_Rainier_" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org(packet_writing)) also lets u drop and drag . BUT 1: The burner usually has to support it . (Quite a few cd burners do, cant say I've seen a DVD burner that supports Mount Rainier yet) . And 2: Not many OS's support it, but Linux does natively, as it says on the site above .

420804	2006-01-13 18:24:00	I thought in Nero, u burn and it automatically finalises the CD? I thought u had no choice? Guess Im wrong . Ah nope . If u do a data cd in Nero (thru Nero Express), the option appears after u "add" whatever files . Its called allow files to be added later (multisession disc) . If this option is ticked, it leaves the cd "open" . So u can add to the cd later . If this option is unticked, then it'll finalise / close the cd . So, you can't add anymore files to it .
