How to Copy a CD, DVD, or BD
NOTE: BD media can only be copied to other BD media. DVD media can only be
copied to other DVD-recordable/rewritable media. CD media can only be copied to
other CD-recordable/rewritable media.
NOTE: Copying a BD-R to BD-RE will not produce an exact copy. Border
information will be lost.
NOTE: Most commercial DVDs and BDs have copyright protection and cannot be
copied using Roxio Creator.
1 Open Roxio Creator.
2 Under the Copy tab, click Disc Copy .
3 Insert the source disc into the drive, ensure that the settings are correct,
and then click the
Copy Disc button to continue.
The computer reads your source disc and copies the data to a temporary
folder on your computer hard drive.
4 When prompted, insert a blank disc into the drive and click OK .
Once you have finished copying the source disc, the disc that you have
created automatically ejects.
Using Blank CD, DVD, and BD Media
CD-writable drives can only write to CD recording media. DVD-writable
drives can write to both CD and DVD recording media. BD-writable drives
can write to CD, DVD and BD recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After
creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic
documentation for more information). Use blank CD-RWs if you plan to
erase, rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
Blank DVD+/-R or BD-R media can be used to permanently store large
amounts of information. After you create a DVD+/-R or BD-R, you cannot
write to that disc again if the disc is "finalized" or "closed" during the final
stage of the disc creation process. Use blank DVD+/-RW or BD-RE media if
you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on that disc later.
