how to re-record onto dvd's?

i dont think you can do what you desire in a dvd-r.

there are, basically some types of DVD medias.

*DVD-R [Digital versatile disk-recordable]

*DVD-RW [DVD re writable]

what you have is DVD-r,

the features of it are,

-can write only once.

-data can be appended to previously written data.

The prob is you can not delete the data actually.

what you are doing is appending the data.

so what i am coming to say, you cannot delete and re record the data, as we are doing in USB drives.

For this fecility you have to go for DVD-RW.

In this type of media you can delete and write again.

same like usb thumb drives, but very limitted number of times,

Clear????

DVD-R discs cannot be erased. What's happening is that Windows is hiding the already burned areas of the disc. That means that even it seems like you've erased a file, it's really still there and still taking up space.

I suggest you either use DVD-RW media or get a cheap USB flash drive.

The other two are correct. But why not just buy a flash drive? You can get them for super cheap nowadays and it will be MUCH easier to use than trying to use DVDs as flash drives. And much cheaper in the long run.

Has to be a DVD-RW in order for you to rewrite.
