Saving to multiple volumes
If the system writes data to a second DVD-RAM volume, the system considers this a DVD set.
A set includes two or more volumes. The system can only write information about the last volume in the set. In a three-volume DVD-RAM set, the system cannot write information to the first or second volume.
