Terry,
I quickly just wanted to say that multi-session recording is when you record
something, put data, onto a disc
and then end the session, without finalizing or closing the disc.
Then later on, you record onto the disc again, it adds it in a seperate
session.
When you read the disc, some software allows you to see the seperate
sessions.
And if you record as a DVD-Video disc, you have to close or finalize the
disc for the files to be read correctly by dvd players other than the one
you used to make the session.
With a DVD-ROM format it mainly for data and would be read by a computer not
a dvd player so finalizing the disc is less important.
That's how i basically understand the difference, maybe others can elaborate
better.
Also their is a difference on how the -RW and +RW behave in this respect
with dvd players, I believe the +RW doesn't need finalizing
to be read by another +RW machine where the -RW disc does no matter what,
this is why some people found the +RW discs easier to use the the -RW. I
might not be exact in technical reason but just wanted to get the idea out
there.
