    OK, it seems to be working. I have just created one. It seems to have erased the earlier one. But see below, I still have a question, whether it erased the earlier one completely and whether it can cause trouble.

    Yes, but you might have to erase them first with another program.

    Thanks, it's just as you said. It asks whether it's blank, and if not, it says it will erase... But I wonder if it erased it completely before recording, or just enough for it to use? Could it cause problems when the disc is actually used?

    My cheap dvd recorder has some problems where I'm watching something and suddenly some old thing appears, but for a computer I don't think so.
