The first kind is write once, these are the normal type. There are several sub-types of write once discs, the most common called DVD+R and DVD-R. There is also a much less common type that you can rewrite or erase many times, but much less than 1,000 times total. These discs are designated DVD-RW. > 2. Can you amend files and text on the DVD? Not normally unless you're using DVD-RW media. > 3. Should I put a variety of programs on a DVD (such as games, > utilities, downloaded/bought software) or stick to one kind? Use all the space if possible if it's only a write once DVD. They hold about 4.3 GB or so. There are also dual-layer DVDs that hold twice that amount. I think there are also dual layer RW rewritable discs, but again, very rare, and likely very expensive? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
