To burn to a recordable CD so you can burn to it again:
1. In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.
The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume’s disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility, and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
2. Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list, and then choose Images > Burn.
3. Select the “Leave disc appendable” checkbox. If you don’t see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.
4. Insert a blank recordable CD in the optical drive and click Burn.
To add more files to the disc later, follow the steps above. You can continue this process until all available space on the disc is used.
I do not have a DVD-R with which to check if this will work properly, but it does work on CD-R media.
CD-RW and DVD-RW media must be erased before re-written, but multisession writing should work as well.
There are several third-party utilities as well:
Burn Again
Burn Again DVD
Toast Titanium
DiscBlaze
BurnX Free
