Once you have entered all the contents for your custom CD, click on Create to start the "Image Writer". This module completes the process for generating the new virtual CD.
Global Virtual CD Settings
To configure your VCD program, select View
The Default image folder defines which directory on your disk is automatically used for image files. When you enter only a file name in the Image Wizard, without a path, the new image file is stored here.
If you activate the option to Close Image Writer automatically, the Image Writer closes as soon as a new custom virtual CD has been written - unless an error occurs during writing, in which case the Image Writer remains open and an error message is displayed.
The option to Retrieve audio CD information from CDDB server enables Virtual CD to download album and track titles as well as artists' names from the CDDB Service. If your computer does not have Internet access, you should deactivate this option.
When you make a virtual CD, the Image Wizard offers to Automatically create a directory for the new image file. This is especially practical for music CDs, since the image file will contain separate files for each audio track. The VCD global settings give you the option of having this function activa- ted automatically for all audio CDs.
If the Start Wizard is active when you start VCD, a window opens listing the main programs and fun- ctions so you can choose where to begin. The global setting lets you define whether this Wizard is active or not.
The option to Show Quick Start icon in System Tray lets you define whether this icon is added to your system tray. By the way, the Quick Start module is also responsible for the hotkey functions that automatically load virtual CDs, so if you suppress it in the system tray, these hotkeys will not work.
The Priority referred to in the last of the global settings defines how much processor time VCD is allowed to occupy while creating virtual CDs.
