this question could also be applied to the dvd-r burner that i have. background information i had b's clip and then changed for nero. but that created a whole mess of issues which was cleared up. <grin> in the beginning when i initially purchased the laptop for the first month i would use b clip. it was working great. it would perform differently than nero. and that what i learned.for example, when using acronis software, with b clip doing the burning, it would automatically burn udf on the fly. i was used to it. but when i used nero, it did not work on the fly. i had to preformat the disk and then use acronis. it tooked 2 hours to do that <way too long esp after using b's clip> this also made me confused, not knowing there were performance/burning differences not only between the different programs (b clip and nero) but also the different way ISO operated than UDF. i was thinking (being used to the floppy disks, ugghhhh .. lol ) that iso could be reused. as it was pointed out ***... once you burned iso cd you cannot edit it. (unless you reformat it)*** and that is what i did not know and that throughly confused me <grin>. but here is the real major thing that i really do not understand- with a new fresh cdr, i would use iso (thinking it was behaving like a udf) and burn some data. but when i went to verify the burning, using windows explorer, it would show that cd drive was " inaccessible". i could not see the files listed. i can see the other programs listed on the non cd drives but not there. so what am i doing wrong here?
one other thing i discovered- this came from B's website.. B's Recorder GOLD7 and B's CLiP5 cannot be installed together with other packet-writing and recording software. <such as nero, my comments> this does not answer the question- why i cannot verify the burning but it does clean the air. so that a partial answer. so, it is either b's clip or nero? i will stay with nero. i predict soon they will have on the fly udf formatting. just go to wait.
