DVD coaster repairer

[Magpie]

I have search high and low and cannot believe there is no software that will fix a stuffed up disc. What i mean by this is when the disc becomes a coaster,say if it is at the start of the burn, so there is still lots of space on it, way can't you say 'block off' the stuffed up part (becomes unuseable) and use the rest of the disc. So a DVD-R may be reduced down but you may have something that will fit on the remaining space. A bit like creating a new session but totally ignoring the crap part.
If someone know of something like this it would save $$$ as those DVD-R are still expensive. Why waste good space. I am saving my coasters just in case.......

Not to be a smartass but I think they call them RWs. I do however see your point. I have never seen a software that could accomplish this because you are writing in [disc at once] mode, therefore you messed up the whole [DVD disc at once].
I used RW until I found a process that preforms at a very high % yield and have not made a coaster for a long time now [knock on wood]. When ever I use a new or modified process I use RW while in the beta stages and bugs are worked out. Granted it takes a little more time but you have to judge time vs expense yourself.

Hey Doggiedaddy,
I know about and use RW's as well but what i am talking about is plain DVD-R's. I understand the fact about disc at once but surely someone in the know could knock up a program that tags the fact the previous crap in not to be included in the TOC just like the TOC is re-written in say Easy CD/DVD Creator when you add more files. So a New TOC and a disc that reconises that it is say only 3 gig rather than 4.7 gig.
I think it should be posible. Maybe with some sort of brute force.
