Working with Data DVDs and CDs

Unlike audio CDs and jukebox DVDs, data DVDs and CDs can be recorded in multiple sessions.

Verifying data disc recorded without errors

When copying or burning data files to DVD or CD, it is recommended that you use Sonic DigitalMedia Plus because it includes a feature that confirms that your disc has been created without errors.

This data verification feature is enabled by default.

To check the status of the write verification feature in DigitalMedia Plus:

1Open the DigitalMedia Plus program by clicking Start, All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home.

2Click the Tools menu and then click Options.

3In the Options window, click Data.

4Ensure the Verify data written to the disc after burning box is checked.

5Click OK.

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 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.
