Yes
I have a samsung DVD-RW on the PC and i want to copy images to it, so i bought some DVD+r(cos it has the dvd rw logo the same as the dvd)and also some dvd-r but i cant get anything to copy, do i need special software or have i just missed something obvious?
 
If you are using XP it has its own built in burner.

regards
 
ahh ic

built in burner dont seem to play ball with DVD, i will try nero!
 
Your DVD Player may not support DVD-R, only DVD-RW
I have the same problem with my lappie.
My PC however supports both R and RW
 
it wont let me view the disk with -r but +r i can, it just wont copy anything over for copying.

i will try nero though
 
sorted using Nero

thanks guys!

just need to think of a sensible archiving method now....
 
If you use DIM, it sorts your files into this format,

Year, Month, Date

So you have a folder for 2005, with subfolders for months, and days, this is how i do it, then just backup as many full months as i can on 1 disk.

Maybe not the best but works for me ! :)
 
I have folders for years, and in those, I have a folder for each shoot.
I used to have subfolders for months, but there wasn't much point, not enough shoots per month to warrant yet another level of subfolders :)

I just have something like

2005\
2005\0829 TPF Test shots from Sigma 70-300
2005\0829 TPF Test shots from Sigma 70-300\IMG_1102.CR2
2005\0829 TPF Test shots from Sigma 70-300\Converted\
2005\0829 TPF Test shots from Sigma 70-300\Converted\IMG_1102.tif
2005\0829 TPF Test shots from Sigma 70-300\Converted\IMG_1102.psd

If that makes sense. I then, too, fit as many as I can onto DVD, and mark it as such, put it away, then have some rewritables with the same on (thus having two copies of the most recent discs in my posession).
 
lol im not that organised yet

if i go to groombridge, its called groombridge with the date, and thats it, not very efficient i must admit
