Nero and DVD+RW format
Nero does support DVD+RW format and the latest version (5.5.5.4) added a unique features - Multisession option for DVD ISO projects. Nero does not support Multisession at UDF/ISO tasks. While BS Recorder's GOLD "UDF data adding" feature seems much easier for end user, Ahead gives an interesting alternative answer:
"...With the Nero Multisession option, you can do things like incremental backup! Just for example, save one partition on your hard drive or a folder (maybe a 2GB partition or folder) with Nero and "Start Multisession". Then, you can make changes to some doc file, and then write again to the disc with "Continue Multisession". Now, Nero will write only the additional files. Let us say, you will do this on Monday, and then make "continue Multisession" every day after that. Nero will only save the files, which have been changed. So for example, if it is Friday, and you want to get the file version of Tuesday, because this version was the last one, which worked, then it is still on the disc!
In addition, since the DVD+RW media is written in ISO9660, it can be read back in all environments! UDF only is not available on all platforms! Therefore, you can use the Nero Multisession disc and can read back the data on all DVD-ROM drives under all OS, including Apple for example..."
The rest options inside Nero are the same with CD projects. At the ISO tab, a new notice has been added:
At the writing tab note the 2.4X writing speed:
After we have added data in our disc,
just press burn. Our project is finished after 23mins:
