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 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 for more information about selecting a slower recording speed. Creating data discs To create data CDs or DVDs using Sonic DigitalMedia Plus: 1 Open the DigitalMedia Plus program by clicking Start, All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home. 2 Click the Data tab, and then click Data Disc. 3 Do one or more of the following: • Click Add Data and navigate to files stored on your PC. • In the Quick Scan panel, select a type of file to search for, and then click Scan to automatically search your PC for the selected file type. • Insert a CD or DVD that contains the file you want to add. 4 Select the files you want to record, and then click Add. 5 To name your disc, highlight Volume Label, and then type a name over it. Sonic DigitalMedia Plus assigns a name based on the recording date if you do not type a name. 6 Click the Burn icon when you have added all the files to your data project. 7 When prompted, insert a blank or appendable disc. DVD discs can store significantly more files than a CD. 8 Click OK. 60 Getting Started Guide
