[MacDV] Writing to CDs

[Richard Gilmore]

Have you clicked "Close Session" in Toast in Recorder Settings>Advanced? If
so you can only write once. Unclicked will allow you to write until full.
Each session of a multi session disc on a Mac will show up on the desktop as
a separate icon as if they were multiple volumes even though physically it's
one disc. XP doesn't handle multi session in the same way it just shows all
the sessions as if they were one volume.

I'm not sure why you would only see the last session on a Mac if it was
burned on a Mac. It doesn't do this for me. Did you burn the multi session
disc on a Mac or PC? If it was burned on a PC it might not read all the
sessions but only the last one. Multi session discs that I burn on a Mac
only read the last session on XP. I know on the Windows side that a lot of
the burning software makes discs that only work right when you've got their
software installed. Nero multi session discs only work with Nero not Easy CD
creator or NTI and vice versa.

Hope this helps

Richard
