I am not only new to this program but also to the art of burning discs. I have a DVD+R disc in the DVD drive. I burned one folder of files. When I returned to burn another group of files, I got a message that told me I need to insert a new disc. I have lots of room on the inserted disc in the drive so would like to use it. What have I done in error to get this message and what can I do to avoid losing space on these discs when I burn to them?
I suspect that your DVD+R disc was formatted for a final burn, not incremental burns. The default is normally for the burner to "finalize" a DVD+R after burning files. That means no more files or folders can be added after the initial burn. If your burner and DVDs support an appending format, you will be able to add files at subsequent times, if the DVD+R was so formatted. So the solution is to ensure the DVD+R is formatted to permit "appending" of files or folders; or, to burn all your files and folders that you want on the DVD+R in one burn session.
Hope this helps. Have a great day.
