What is Single Session?

Single Session means that once you have recorded to the disc, the disc cannot be appended or added to. You can record only one time to a disc, one home movie one video capture session. You can only record video to a blank disc. If there is existing video content or some other type of file on the disc, you cannot capture video to that disc. The disc must be blank. Therefore if you are using a re-writable disc with video content on the disc, you will have the ability to playback the file (so you can see what is on the disc) but if you want to capture to that RW disc, you will be forced to erase the video file before capturing, or you can choose a different disc to record.
