Burning a compilation 8 Burning a compilation In order to burn your compilation, you must first select a recorder. Then start the burn process. Before Nero Burning ROM burns the disc, the Burn Compilation window is opened where you can select or check burn options. 8.1 Choose recorder If you have installed multiple recorders, select a suitable recorder for burning. To do this, proceed as follows: 1. Click on the icon . Æ The Choose recorder window is opened. 2. Mark the relevant recorder.
Burning a compilation 8.2 Burn Compilation window In the Burn Compilation window you can set or check the required burn options and then start the actual burn process. The Burn Compilation window consists of a drop-down menu, a selection list, various tabs and buttons. Fig. 6: Burn Compilation window for the disc type CD-ROM (ISO) The selected disc format is displayed in the selection list.
Burning a compilation 8.3 Burn tab The Burn tab provides options for the burn process. The following check boxes are available in the Action area: Determine maximum speed Determines how quickly the compiled files can be accessed. Simulation Simulates burning. In the process the simulation performs all steps that are also carried out during burning with the exception of setting the laser beam. A test determines whether there is a constant flow of data. Write Enables the Burn button.
Burning a compilation 8.4 Starting the burn process To start the burn process, proceed as follows: 1. Click on the Burn button in the main screen. Æ The Burn Compilation window is opened; the Burn tab is on top. 2. Check or select the options in the individual tabs. 3. Insert a corresponding blank disc and click on the Burn button. Many CD players cannot read rewritable CDs (CD-RW). You should therefore use normal CD-ROMs for burning Audio CDs. Æ The burn process starts.
Bootable disc 9 Bootable disc Using Nero Burning ROM you can create a bootable disc with which the computer can be started without having to access the hard drive. For this reason a bootable CD is often used as an "emergency disc" to start the computer if it is not possible to access the hard drive. Bootable discs are created in accordance with the "El Torito" standard, an extension to the ISO-9660 standard, which defines the structure of data discs. The CD contains a boot image and an ISO part.
Bootable disc 9.3 Creating and burning a bootable disc To create a bootable disc, proceed as follows: 1. Click on the New button in the main Nero Burning ROM screen. Æ The New Compilation window is opened. 2. If you want to create a bootable CD, select the option CD from the drop-down menu and the option CD-ROM (Boot) from the selection list. If you want to create a bootable DVD, select the option DVD from the drop-down menu and the option DVD-ROM (Boot) from the selection list.
Image file 10 Image file You can use Nero Burning ROM and Nero Image Recorder to create an image file. Nero Image Recorder is automatically installed while Nero Burning ROM is being installed. An image file is an individual file on the hard drive that contains an image of a complete disc. You can burn copies of this image file as often as you like. The image file is exactly the same size as the original files.
Image file Æ The Burn Compilation window with the Burn tab is opened. 4. Proceed with the burn process (see Burning a compilation). Î You have successfully burnt an image file.
Copying discs 11 Copying discs You can copy discs using Nero Burning ROM. There are two methods for this: On-the-fly copying Copy over image Each method has advantages and disadvantages which will depend on your requirements. 11.1 On-the-fly copying versus copy over image 11.1.1 On-the-fly copying When using the on-the-fly method, insert the original disc into a drive and a blank disc into the recorder.
Copying discs 11.1.2 Copy over image With the copy-over-image method, an image of the original disc is saved to a file first. The image file is then burned to a blank disc. Copying using an image copy takes longer, but often produces better results. You must have sufficient space on the disc to use the copy-over-image method (see Image file).
Copying discs The following buttons are available: Disc Info Displays information on the disc inserted such as contents (if available) or available capacity for instance. Copy Starts the copy process. Cancel Closes the New Compilation window. The following tabs are available: Image Displays the path to the temporary image file and provides information on the speed of the hard drive (see Image tab). Copy Options Contains options for configuring copying (see Copy Options tab).
Copying discs 11.2.3 Read Options tab You can select options for reading the original disk on the Read Options tab. The following options are available: Profile area Profile selection Selects predefined copy options or a user-defined setting. In the case of predefined copy settings Nero Burning ROM sets the configuration options automatically. You can select the configuration options yourself in the case of a customized setting.
Copying discs With certain disc formats such as Video CD and Audio CD for instance, read errors often have little or no impact because they are not perceptible when the CD is played. Subchannel data contains additional information such as CD Text or information on positions for instance. 11.3 Copying a disc If you are not in possession of the copyright of the relevant disc and do not have authorization from the owner of the copyright, unauthorized copying violates national and international legislation.
Copying discs Æ The burn or copy process starts. On the screen a progress bar indicates the progress being made during the burn or copy process. 6. Proceed with the burn process (see Starting the burn process). Î You have successfully copied a disc.

Glossary 20 Glossary Blue Book Standard for CDs created in the formats CD Extra and Enhanced CD. Blu-ray Disc Abbreviated to BD. The Blu-ray disc or Blu-ray is a possible successor to the DVD. The BD was developed by the BDA (Blu-ray-Disc Association) in response to high-definition video requirements. Their storage capacity is practically five times that of DVDs. Single-layer discs can store data volumes of up to 20 GB and dual-layer discs up to 50 GB.
Glossary CD Text Additional information on the CD that can store the title and artists of the individual pieces for instance. CD Text is stored in the so-called lead-in area of the CD before the audio data starts. Not all CD players support CD Text. Despite this a CD with CD Text can still be played in the player. You must have a CD recorder which supports CD Text to enable the CD Text to be written to a CD. In particular, CD Text can only be written in disc-at-once mode.
Glossary Emulation Simulation of the structure and function of a system, e.g. a bootable disc can "emulate" a floppy drive. Encode Encoding is the conversion of audio files that are located on an Audio CD into an audio format that the computer can read (e.g. mp3). Finalizing Definitive conclusion of the process of writing to a CD/DVD. After this it is not possible to write to the CD/DVD anymore. However, a finalized rewritable disc can still be deleted.
Glossary Label Most CDs have an imprint or label. You can use different methods, such as screen printing for example, to apply a label to the CD. Lead-in The initial area of every session is known as the lead-in. This is where the “table of contents” for your disc and additional information concerning the CD is stored. Lead-out The final area in a session. This area is located at the end of the disc. If the disc has not yet been finalized, the reference to the next session is stored here.
Glossary Buffer Underrun Buffer underruns are caused when there is an interruption to the flow of data to the internal buffer of the recorder. This can be the fault of the software or the hardware itself. When recording, data is fed continuously to the recorder’s buffer in order to keep a steady flow of data which is required when recording.
