Try BurnAgain FS, 5 stars at versiontracker. It allows you to add files to a disc after burning without the need to reburn everything. I used earlier versions without any problems. However, I'm not sure about DVD-RW. Check out the trial available at <http://freeridecoding.com/burnagaindvd/> > >> 3.

I've been using it for years without any major problems. Lately, in Tiger, I noticed a 100% Finder leak after it was open for a few days that might result in a Force-Quit. As long as you Save each time you catalogue a disk, the database/s remains intact. The Finder leak has apparently gone with Leopard. FWIW I used to label by date burned, lately I've gone to a YYNNNN (080001-089999) system so I can know if a disk is physically missing. Steve R -- Reopen NAFTA.
