Guest heyimbro Report post Posted March 4, 2006 So I have about 6 gigs of music on my hard drive that I'd like to back up, but don't want to use 10 CDs. I just got a DVD-R+/R- burner, and was wondering.. can you burn files other than DVD ISO/movie files onto DVD-R discs and have them still work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carnival 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2006 yes, just burn it as a data dvd. that will take you 2 reg DVDR's. 4.5 gbs a piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest heyimbro Report post Posted March 4, 2006 Score, thanks. I was going to try that but I only have one DVD-R at the moment so I wasn't going to take the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 I was thinking about the same thing, since I tried and tried but all I could do was put video footage on dvd's, I couldn't seem to write data. I'm using Nero but I can't seem to get it to work for data, is it the best program to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carnival 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 I'm using Nero and it works just fine for burning data DVD's. What speed are you burning them at? What version of Nero do you have? Sometimes even the brand of DVD matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 25, 2006 If you get a dual-layer DVD-RAM, it'd be better. Don't waste a -R or +R on it. Any dual-layer disc is over 8 gigs, and the DVD-RAMs are believe are cheaper than -R and +R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
