With the resurgence of interest in RAM-DVD and faster speeds, it becomes a more reliable media option. Acronis is making some progress in handling this properly, but further thought is required:
Under Win XP Pro SP2, my LG GSA-4163B is properly recognized as a removable media drive by TI Corp Workstation 8.0 Build 933.
BUT:
Your own documentation suggests, quite properly, that it's best that images onto DVD media be limited to 2 Gig files.
Once recognized as a removable media device, TI automatically OMITS the filesize option screen making it impossible to control the filesize written to my DVD-RAM drive... Until/unless you are ready to automatically sense/identify DVD-RAM drives and include the filesize option routine.. an EASY and simple fix would be to include either a Configuration Option or a command line switch that allows/forces the filesize option selection for any media. Those of us with such DVD-RAM drives get the ability to chunk our images on DVD-RAM media and everyone else just ignores the option....
