..... after I burn the AR17 image on a CD, I should load it using my AR2v2 just as I load a regular CD backup, and then use it to swap DVD-R?

ANSWER: I hope so! I have no experience of AR2v2 because I tried it with DVDR-X. But in principle it should work and I have seena post from the USA where someone has done this with GS2 (the US coiunterpart to AR2).

So just do it - at worst it'll cost you a coaster and let us all know.
