I have alot of my files (music, documents and such) backed up on CD-R discs (700MB). All you have to do is move the files to the disc. How can I do the same with a DVD+R disc? Or can I? Cause it would be alot easier to have to deal with 3-4 discs instead of 15 or so. Thanks in advance.
I run Nero. I know I can't do it the same way as with CD-R as I have tried. I was just wondering the steps I needed to take.
when you open your nero up, just make sure you highlight the dvd option and select the data dvd function
what size disc are you considering using??????? when the next screen comes up just make sure you select the properties that reflect the disc you are using. seee how you go andmerr
Well I did two will all music files on them flawlessly. Disc 1 was 4.34 GB (4,661,891,644 bytes). Disc 2 was 4.27 GB (4,587,797,793 bytes). However, the third one was partially music, a couple programs/games, some pictures and a couple small street racing/car videos and it stopped burning at the same point (one of the programs, music, pictures or videos causes it to stop) twice. Once it was towards the end so I switched the programs, pictures and videos to the front of the folder I added and it then stopped at about 20% or so.

Nero Version: 6.6.0.16 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b not bad i believe it is 6.6.0.18 now if im not mistaken Physical memory : 223MB (228756kB) Free physical memory: 89MB (91184kB) Memory in use : 60 % not enough to burn toast here free up some mem. better still invest in another 512 stick of mem. Burn process failed at 8x (11,080 KB/s) slow down your burn speeds 4x max plus if your burning video and data and so on burn a mixed mode dvd udf/iso dvd hope this helps
I just burnt all the music I had to to three DVD discs (instead of the 12 CD-R's I had it on before) and put the programs and videos on two CD-R's. Thanks for the help.
