Liteon DVD-R i would rate as fair, longevity not great. With sp2 you can
burn track at once as multisession not being restricted by the 4 gigabyte
limit pre-sp2 on ntfs. Sp2 has fixed the issue of the multisession dvd with
a limit of 4 gigabytes on a ntfs formatted hard drive. Of course before you
could burn 4.7 gigs in one shot. Don't believe the garbage you read on some
of these newsgroups don't use nero use recordnow max the earlier versions of
copytodvd or NTI CD and DVD-Maker Platinum. You're closing the dvd disc the
first time you write to it probably the default option of the software
change it to multisession in options. I've been using vegas 5 or TMPGEnc 3.0
to encode also been using riverpast video cleaner so i can use AC3 sound
instead of paying for the AC3 option in TMPGenc. Been using dvd architect
2.0 to prepare the dvd's and NTI CD and DVD-Maker Platinum to burn them.
