Bad subject I know.

Anyway today I thought I had enough space when I started ripping one of my DVD's.

Turns out I didn't and at about 87% of phase two DVD-RW errored out telling me it couldn't write because the disc was full. Understandable. It would be nice however if DVD-RB could somehow "pause" instead of the error and inform the user he is out to space. Then after the user creates space he could resume the encoding. Like I said, 87% of the encoding was done, so after I made space it had to start all over. That's about 3 hours of time down the can. Power users who know their way around probably know how to recover from this and manually encode the last files, but I do not. So it'd be great if DVD-RB could have some kind of check like this implemented that would allow me next time to simply resume after space is created. BTW I'm using 1-click mode with CCE.

Thanks for reading. Keep up the good work on DVD-RB.

You should be able to resume. At least in three click mode. If your computer were to crash or something all you would do is startup again, open up dvd rebuilder and hit encode. It should then ask if you want to resume or start over from the beginning. So I would suggest you switch over to three click mode and hit encode. It should prompt you to resume the encode.

So then I suggest the resume feature be added to 1-click mode also.
