Overwrite Property

Summary
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the DVD writer will delete (overwrite) the existing DVD image.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
[DispIdAttribute(1)] 
bool Overwrite {get; set;} 
[DispIdAttribute(1)] 
property bool Overwrite { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
} 

Property Value

True if the DVD writer will delete (overwrite) the existing DVD image at the next write operation. False if the DVD writer will append new titles to the existing DVD image at the next write operation.

Remarks

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the DVD writer will delete (overwrite) the existing DVD image at the next write operation. In order to add a new title to the DVD image that has been created, overwriting must be disabled before writing the image. To disable overwriting, set this property to False before starting the next conversion.
