Data disc tips
When storing data files on a disc, it is important to
note that:
■
You can add new data files to a
CD-R, DVD-R, or a DVD+R in a later
recording session, until the disc is
full. With DVD+R or DVD-R discs,
insert your partially recorded DVD, click the
Wrench
icon to display the Options window,
click
Data
, select the first
Write-Once DVD
Compatibility
option, and then click
OK
.

When you record files that have the same
name as previously recorded files, Sonic
DigitalMedia Plus updates the file and the
previous version is overwritten.
■
Sonic DigitalMedia Plus allows you to change
the names of files you want to record and the
files that were previously recorded.
■
As you select data files to record to your disc,
Sonic DigitalMedia Plus calculates and
displays the amount of recording space used
on your disc.
■
If your recording fails, manually select a
slower recording speed, if available, each
time you make a recording. Refer to the Help
menu in your selected software program
