Creating (burning) a CD or DVD

CAUTION: Observe the copyright warning. It is a criminal offense, under applicable copyright laws, to make unauthorized copies of copyright-protected material, including computer programs, films, broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.

If the computer includes a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, use software such as Windows Media Player or CyberLink Power2Go to burn data, video, and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files.

Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD:

●Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.

●A CD-R or DVD-R is best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it cannot be changed.

NOTE: An audio DVD cannot be created with CyberLink Power2Go.

●Use CD-Rs to burn music CDs, because some home and car stereos do not play CD-RWs.

●A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings before burning them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.

●DVD players used in home systems do not support all DVD formats. For a list of supported formats, see the user guide that came with the DVD player.

●An MP3 file uses less space than other music file formats, and the process for creating an MP3 disc is the same as the process for creating a data file. MP3 files play on MP3 players or on computers with MP3 software installed.

To burn a CD or DVD:

1.Download or copy the source files into a folder on the hard drive.

2.Insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive.

3.Select Start > All Programs, and then select the name of the software you want to use.

NOTE: Some programs might be located in subfolders.

4.Select the kind of CD or DVD you want to create—data, audio, or video.

5.Right-click Start, click Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to the folder where the source files are stored.

6.Open the folder, and then drag and drop the files into the drive that contains the blank optical disc.

7.Initiate the burning process as directed by the program selected.

For specific instructions, see the software manufacturer's instructions, which might be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer's website.
