What is Multi-session in Nero?

[Jason the Eighty Eighth]

my understanding is that Multisession is a feature on burning applications which gives you the ability to continue adding files to your CDR/DVDR after you have finished burning. for example, if you have used 3Gbs of your DVD-R up, later, you can add another 1.3Gb to the CD.

am i correct?

now, my question is, i want to burn 3.7Gbs onto my disk. i don't plan on adding any more files to it. should i choose to NOT burn in multi-session? i read on a Nero dialogue that if i burn on Multisession, i can't read the CD on operating systems prior to XP.

please clarify.

thanks in advance :)

if you're not going to add anything more to it. whey don't you just finalize it? i don't see any point to leave it open.

you have to close the disk if you want most dvd/cd players (read: non pc) to manage to read it..
