I tried to make a multisession dvd disc, but option to change from "write to disk" to "write session" is dimmed and I can't change it (write to disk is selected). Why is that?

It must be that your specific disk or disk drive does not support such a feature.

Try using another disk, preferably of another brand.

Sandking, multisession operation is only available for CD-R, not DVD-R.
Moreover, when you plan to write multi sessions on a CD, you must use the "write session" from the first burn you made on the CD until the last one. If you have not select this option at the 1st burn, it is too late to enable it for another burn.
Please, note that multi session is not often use because of the cheap price of CD-R and the high capacity of DVD-R
More, multi session are very sensible:
* if the burning o f the session 'i' (where i > 1) fails, all the disc and the previous sessions can be out of use
* when burning multi session of DATA and when exchanging with Windows environment, only the first session will mount on Windows.
So, with a blank CD-R under 20 cents, only burning 122MB over a 650MB capacity is nothing compared to the situation you'll be if one burning session fails and pushes the CD to be unreadable.
So, yes, forget multi session !

Yeah, but writing 500 MB on a DVD is just a waste for me (of space, not money). My driver has some issues with cd and I have to use only dvds. You wrote that dvds don't support multisession - I read about writing multisessions without any app - just in finder - by burning disk images?

(1) I think you want to speak about this method
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage...urn_tiger.html
I agree but I do not know if this method can be applied to DVD.
(2) However, another method is the use of rewritable DVD-RW, the method I use in the past, before I buy an external drive
a. trough SilverKeeper, a free backup tool from LaCie, I backup all my important folders in a dedicated 'backup' folder on my hard drive.
b. I burn this folder through Toast 6 on a DVD-RW
c. next week, I rerun the backup tool to update the 'backup' folder.
d. I re-insert the DVD-RW and in Toast; quick wipe it; the rewritable DVD_RW is wiped, ejected.
e. I re-insert it in the drive and burn the updated 'backup' folder
..and so on...
(3) and defintivly no: loosing 4GB of unburned space -or using the rewritable method above- is nothing compared to the problem you can face if a multi-session burning step face, believe me !
