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.
