I Can’t Add Data Files to My DVD

When you create a data CD in RecordNow!, data files can be added in later recording sessions until the disc is full. If you want to record data to a DVD in multiple sessions, you must set the correct recording option.

To do this, insert your data disc, open RecordNow!, click the Options icon (wrench), click Data, and then select the multiple session recording option.

My Music CD Won’t Play in My Stereo

If your CD won’t play in your home or car stereo, try the following:

•Use a CD-R, not a CD-RW disc.

•Try another CD brand or check to see if the brand of disc works with your stereo. Check the documentation that came with your CD player and check the manufacturer’s Web site.

•If you are creating music CDs from MP3 or WMA audio files, those files need to be converted to WAV or CDA music files before recording.

•Use a CD instead of a DVD. You can record audio files to a DVD to be played on your PC, but you cannot create a music DVD to be played in a home or car CD player.

The Titles of My Music Tracks

Don’t Appear on My CD

You must be connected to the Internet for the artist, title, and track information to appear when playing your music CD in Windows Media Player or when recording your music CD in RecordNow! If you are not connected to the Internet, the music tracks are displayed as Track 1, Track 2, etc.

NOTE: Artist, title, and track information cannot be recorded to disc in RecordNow!

My PC Doesn’t Recognize My Digital Camcorder When Capturing Video Files

Before you can transfer your digital video files to your PC, you must connect your camcorder properly to a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port on your PC, turn your camcorder on, and then select the playback mode before transferring video files to your hard disk drive.

My Movie Won’t Play on My DVD Player

Your DVD movie may be in a file format that your DVD player can’t read. If you recorded your video files as data, they will not have the proper format to be played on your DVD player. Files must be encoded in the proper DVD video format by using a recording program such as InterVideo WinDVD Creator to play in your DVD player.

Which Discs are Compatible With My DVD and CD Players?

Go to the Web site of your DVD or CD player manufacturer to find information about disc compatibility.
