Hello, I just bought a DVD-R/DVD-RW burner (Pioneer DVR-A05U), I used easy cd creator 5.3.2.34 Platinium to burned almost about a whole dvd (4.5 GB or so) and it went fine (I didn't have to worry about adding more data later since the DVD-R was practically full) and I tried running from my regular DVD-Rom Drive and it read it fine (I have two DVD Drive, one is the Pioneer DVD burner and other is a regular DVD-ROM)

I have a bunch of questions since I am new to DVD burning

1)Once I burn a DVD can I add more data to it later (would it be like creating a multi session CD) through the DataDVD project in the Project Select menu. If yes is there any catch like, data in other session might not become visible, or the disc might not be readable in my DVD-ROM Drive and compuers with regular DVD-Rom (it is aproximately two years old, but it read my burned DVD-R that I mentioned abouve), or will it work just like a multi session cd

2)In case I use Direct CD, when I format the DVD, once I eject the DVD (as far as I know there won't be any eject options), will it be readable in regular DVD-Rom, and how much space does formating a DVD-R takes away from its free space.

Normally questions like these should be ansewred in the manual, but unforunately they are not, and DVD-R are not as cheap as CD-R to try and find out.

direct easy cd creator sucks..why don't you use nero burning rom?? it works great on DVD burning too

Right now I am not concerned with the CD/DVD burning software, as a DVD burning newbie, there are things that I need to learn about DVD burnings senarios like adding data to dvd in more than one go.
Once I am familiar with DVD burning I will search for the best DVD burning software.
