DVD-R Question
 

If you don't finalize a dvd-r can you erase the media on it?

Re: DVD-R Question
 

No.

You can (in some dvd recorders) 'erase' a program on an unfinalised dvd-r, but the information is still there, just not showing up.

So you will not be able to reclaim any space.

prices of blank media now is so rediculasly cheap treat a dvd-r as disposable and you only lose 16p

I have had no problems burning at 4x (movie) 6x (data)( i never burn at max speeds on any dvd).On the Tuff disc dvd-r £15.99 for 100 you will also find very cheap rewritable dvd's that will do as you require for very little cash

I can't argue with that :) The only time I use dvd-rw discs is in my dvd recorder :)
