But if this "drag to DVD" software is using that packet-writing mode, it may
not be such a good idea. IOW, it might be better (much more reliable,
and much less potentially problematic), to instead run the program (Nero or
Roxio) directly, and then select the desired files, and then burn the entire
DVD all at once using the DAO (disk at once) mode. I don't think
"drag-to-DVD" does that, does it?
