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 icon (wrench), select the Advanced tab, select the recording option you want, and then click OK.

•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.
