What is the way for wiping out and overwriting now? I have tried burning a dvd+rw on my dvd+/- unit. But I've used "dvd+rw-format -blank" on a dvd-rw. This "minimally" blanks the dvd (there's also an option for -blank=full). I don't know if such a procedure shortens the life of the dvd or if it's even necessary. Maybe you can also force DAO using -dvd-compat -dvd-compat (the 2x is not a typo). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
