re: So if you have to erase the entire disk and start over, who cares?
I guess where I was going with this is that I might have 1 hour of
programming that I want to save and another hour that I want to delete
on the same DVD. Say I recorded CSI and then Without a Trace on the
same DVD. Later I want to delete Without a Trace and add another
episode of CSI, just to keep things organized.
I'm sensing that this can't be done, right?
