Erasing Rewritable Discs Before Recording

Previously recorded files on rewritable discs (CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW) must be erased before recording new files. CD-R, DVD-R, and DVD+R discs cannot be erased.

To erase a rewritable disc in CyberLink Power2Go:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, All Programs, and then click CyberLink DVD Suite.

2Click the icon in the lower-right corner of the window to open a list of CyberLink programs, and then click Power2Go.

3Click the Disc Utilities icon in the Select a Burning Task window, click Erase Disc, and then click OK.

4Insert the rewritable disc that you want to erase.

5Click the Quick erase or Full erase option, and then click the Erase button.

6Click OK when the disc has been erased.

Working with Audio CDs

You can create audio CDs that play in the car or home CD player, and on computers. You can create two main types of music CDs:

￿Uncompressed — Typical CD format, like you would purchase on a commercial CD. This type of CD holds 10 to 20 songs, depending on their length.

Uncompressed files can be burned on CD-Rs (which play in most home and car stereos, DVD players, and computers) or CD-RWs (which play only in some stereos, DVD players, and computers).

The procedure for creating this type of CD is described in “Creating audio CDs.”

￿Compressed — Files are burned to a disc using a compressed file format (.mp3, wma, or .m4a). The smaller file format enables you to fit approximately ten times as many songs onto the disc (depending on length and format).

Compressed files can be burned to CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVDs, DVD-RWs, or DVD+RWs (select models only). Compressed files can only be played on computers, CD players, or DVD players that support the file format that you use to create the disc (.mp3 is most commonly supported). For file format compatibility, check the documentation for the device in which you intend to play the disc. You may hear a slight loss of sound quality using compressed audio files.

For more compatibility information, see “Disc Features and Compatibility Table.”
