About storing data files on disc
When storing data files on a disc, it is important
to note that:
■ You can add new data files to a CD-R and a
DVD+R in a later recording session, until the
disc is full. With DVD+R discs, you need to
select the correct setting in RecordNow to
record files in a later session. To do this, insert
your recorded DVD, open RecordNow, click
the Options button, select the Advanced
tab, and then select the recording option
you want.
■ When you record files that have the same
name as previously recorded files, RecordNow
updates the file and the previous version is
overwritten.
■ RecordNow allows you to change file names
and titles of files you want to record and files
that were previously recorded.
■ As you select data files to record to your disc,
RecordNow calculates and displays the
amount of recording space available on
your disc.
