Creating Audio and Data Discs 143

CyberLink Power2Go allows you to create closed-session or multisession CDs and DVDs.

For closed-session CDs and DVDs, you must record or copy all files on one disc in one

recording session. For multisession CDs and DVDs, you can record or copy files in several

sessions until the disc is filled or until you close the session.

Audio CD tips

When recording music files, it is important to note that:

 As you add music files in the recording session, the software calculates and displays

the amount of recording time that is available to record additional music files. If you

try to record more than a standard CD can hold, a message opens warning you that

all the tracks may not fit on the disc.

 If the recording fails, manually select a slower recording speed, if available, each time

you make a recording. Refer to the Help menu in the selected software program

for more information about selecting a slower recording speed.

 If you change the write speed of the recording, run a Write Simulation test to verify

that the burner can burn to the disc at the selected speed without causing recording

errors.

 You can select the “Enable buffer underrun protection” option when burning a disc to

ensure that data is written to disc without interruption. An interruption in data can

result in an unusable disc.

 You can select the “Verify recorded data” option to compare recorded data to the

source data to ensure accurate burning.

Before you begin creating discs

 Save all work, and close all open programs.

 Turn off the screen saver.

NOTE: Music files can be recorded repeatedly on a rewritable CD-RW disc, but all

previously recorded files must be erased first. CD-R discs cannot be erased.
