Burn report w/ B203, Sony DVD ext drive, and DVD+RW's ...

Data DVD

1) Will not honor previous sessions on disk (and no option to do so). Always overwrites regardless if sessions were created by Stomp RNM or MC. Recorded tracks show up in the burn list as "On Disk". Other than that, disk was read and played flawlessly by MC.
2) Question: MC's data DVD's are in UDF format, correct?

Audio DVD

1) Allows you to go through the motions of making a DVD Audio disk but after files are decoded MC stops with the burn window status "Couldn't start audio recording session". Total track time was 60 min's.
2) With a big burn of 200 minutes, MC claimed there wasn't enough disk space. Time Remaining indicated that there were 300 minutes left (~ 500 min total). MC allowed me to continue but I aborted. Odds are that 1) would have occured.

Misc: Dragging a playlist over to the Sony to burn doesn't work (not sure if it supposed to, though).

Off topic: MC has no PNG support

Data DVD:
1. I'll look into this problem.
2. MC's DVD's are in ISO 9660 format.

Audio DVD:
Sorry, MC doesn't do audio DVD format. MC should (will) handle this more gracefully if a user attempts an audio burn onto DVD.

Thanks John

FYI: Despite the Stomp RNM being a UDF session, MC saw it just fine (but still overwrote).

Whats strange is that I have killed the DLA packet write software (was causing problems), yet W2k is still able to read the disk. W2k can't natively read UDF without help, In the past I've always had to install Roxio's UDFReader or have DLA, DCD, or InCD present (none are now). None of the W2k SP's enabled UDF support AFAIK. Have any idea on this?

Are you sure the RNM file system is UDF only and not either ISO9660 or UDF/ISO bridge format? Did you try "IsoBuster" to check the contents of the disk?

On the other hand, maybe uninstalling the DLA software left the UDF reading support on the system??
