Can these DVD+R DL be saved and/or reused somehow
I was trying to copy multiple folders to DVD for backup and was getting ongoing errors trying to use Roxio and/or LG Burning tools.
Another post recommended I go with Imgburn because apparently my issues were with file name length issues which I guess Roxio/LG do not deal well with.
After a little trial and error I got ImgBurn to create my backup DVDs without issues.
Now before getting to the successful burns with ImgBurn..I used about a dozen or so DVD+R DL disks...and would like to save these for re-use latter if possible ?
Here's the "Discovery" log from Imgburn and attached are two screen shots from Windows explorer info.
Is there a way to re-format the lost DVD+R DL disk used up previously ?
