DVD-R adding data

Hi.
In Windows OS you can add data or what ever to a 4.7GB DVD-R disc if you don't finalize the session. So later you can add anything else you want behind the first data until the disc is full.........
I can't find a way to make my iMac G4 to not close a session. Once the disc is ejected you can't modify anything.
Is that just the way it is? Mac can't be that retarded in disc technology......
Thanks.
Dean M

What you are referring to is an option called "Multisession" discs. You can burn mutli-session discs using third party disc-burning programs such as Toast. However, Apple decided not to include the option in Mac OS X's built-in disc-burning system for reasons of stability and security. Multisession discs do have some minor issues that, while unimportant to 99% of users, would be a deal-breaker for some people.

DVDs can not be left appendable. That setting works only on CDs.
