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 for more information about
selecting a slower recording speed.
n
An appendable disc can have additional files
added to it, if there is disc space available.
Recorded audio CDs are closed-session discs
that are not appendable.
