Do the DVDs -r can be burned in multisession if one doesnt have standalone compatibily issues?

Pratical example, burn on a DVD 4/5 movies in xvid in different sessions and then play them on pc.

Nero doesnt forbid this, just warns that only xp systems will read the dvd.

Anyone has burned dvd -r in multisession???

"DVD-R discs allow incremental writing (cf CD-R multisession writing). Two types of incremental writing are defined:

Type 1 allows DVD-R discs to be read by an ISO 9660 system, and uses the UDF Bridge file system.
Type 2 is for drag and drop file transfer and uses UDF without ISO 9660.
For both types each section of data written to the disc is a Bordered Area and is followed by the Border Out and Border In which precedes the next Bordered Area (if any). Each Bordered Area begins with the UDF file system and ends with the Virtual Allocation Table (VAT). "

"Creating a UDF CD
Please note that Nero does not yet support Multisession UDF-CDs and that therefore UDF or UDF-Bridge Sessions must be written on blank CDs."

it is a problem of nero, not of dvd -r.....

So we need iso for multisession, or a sw able to burn udf in multisession....which one?
