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
