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 icon (wrench), click Data, select the recording option you want, and then click OK.

■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 the names of files you want to record and the files that were previously recorded.

■As you select data files to record to your disc, RecordNow! calculates and displays the amount of recording space used on your disc.
