DVD+RW adding to "Margie & Bob King" <king100[ at ]edenvale100.fsnet.co.uk> 10/28/2008 1:44:26 PM When I try to add another video clip to a DVD+RW disk it won't let me. I have to overwrite the clip that is already on. I can add to CD RWs with no problem, so why won't DVD+RWs let me do the same? I have overcome the problem by using a new DVD R disk for every video clip but it is such a waste of DVD disks. Anyone any ideas as to what I am doing wrong. I am using Windows Movie Maker to edit my video and using Windows DVD Maker to burn to DVD. I know I can add clips from various videos to DVD Maker and burn them all at once but I want to be able to burn a clip to DVD RW and then add another clip at a later date.

You can add additional clips to a Data DVD but not to a Video DVD. If you do not plan to play your DVDs on a free standing DVD player...just create Data DVDs and you can add additional files.
