Topics
What type of data can I record to DVD-R for General, DVD-RW, CD-R, and CD-RW media using RecordNow DX
software?
You can only record files that originated on a computer or on a music CD. RecordNow DX simply transfers data and music
files to the recording media without converting it in any way.
Can I perform multiple recording sessions using RecordNow DX and recordable DVD or CD media?
You can perform only a single recording session using recordable DVD media. Recording to a DVD-R or DVD-RW is restricted
to "disc at once," which does not permit additional data to be added. Recordable CD media uses "track at once" to enable
multiple recording sessions.
How can I tell when my DVD recording session is complete?
When you are recording a small amount of data (less than 1 GB) to DVD-R/DVD-RW media, the RecordNow DX software
must fill up to 1 GB of space on the disc before completing the recording session. The recording of your data may appear to
be completed, but the recording session may take another 20 to 40 minutes to finish. Do not remove your DVD media until
your system sounds the signal tone and automatically releases the media.
How much drive space is used by RecordNow DX software to create my DVD recording?
Your default temporary storage space is set to D:\Image. RecordNow DX software requires your drive D to have at least 10
percent more available storage space than the size of the files you want to record. It is important that you know the size of
the files you want to record in order to maintain sufficient temporary storage.
