6.1.1 Multisession Tab
The Multisession tab provides the option to create multisession discs for data discs.
Multisession discs can be burned in multiple sessions until you have reached the maximum
disc capacity. A session is a self-contained data area that is burned using a single process,
and consists of a lead-in (with the table of contents), one or more tracks, and a lead-out.
Discs without the multisession option, e.g. audio CDs, are burned in a single session.
Multisession discs are particularly suitable for backing up important files burned on a
regular basis.
If a new multisession disc is being started, Nero Burning ROM also saves (if possible) the
point of origin for the files. This information is used when continuing the multisession disc.
If a multisession disc is being continued, Nero Burning ROM automatically sets a cross
reference to the imported session, i.e. the table of contents for the imported session is
copied to the table of contents for the current session. You must define which session is
being imported at the start of the burn process. The files in the previous sessions are
retained and continue to take up space.
In the case of unchanged files, a cross reference is set to the file of the same name in the
previous session. Check the Replace files in compilation and Add new files to
compilation boxes to ensure that changes and new files are incorporated into the table of
contents and burned again. The boxes are checked by default. In this case Nero Burning
ROM automatically verifies whether the correct multisession disc has been inserted for
continuation. If not, the disc is ejected.
If you uncheck the Finalize disc box on the Burn tab, you can always write additional
sessions to the disc, but then only the last session will be visible and you will only be able
to access data from the last session.
