I'll also have a look at ImgBurn

With ordinary word files etc., I've often been perplexed when writing to any disc. Nothing seems consistent.

Now, with W7, I'm fairly reliably asked in advance how I want to prepare the disc. i.e. use it again on another machine or close it forever. When I go to withdraw it, it closes that session 'so that it may be used on another machine'

Is there any difference when using other file types like video?


Another thing: When there is an identical folder on the target DVD/CD drive, it asked if I'd like to merge the new one. Merge? Just tried it, and it was nonsense. Loads of old files left and no sine of some of the new ones. The thing is, it doesn't offer any alternative, like duplicate copies. Just take it or leave it.
