DVR-S201 – Using Prassi Software

Introduction:

The Prassi program bundled with the Pioneer DVR-S201 DVD-Recordable drive, DVD Rep version 2.0, contains commands to create or burn a DVD disc. Contact Prassi (http://www.prassi.com) to obtain upgrade version 2.0.367 for supporting Microsoft Windows 2000.

There are two methods for burning a DVD-R disc:

∙Transfer or image the data to a hard drive before sending it to the disc

∙Burn a disc on the fly (i.e. directly from the source to the disc without testing)

The total data space available on a 4.7GB DVD-R disc is 4.37GB while the total useable space on a 3.95GB disc is 3.68GB. Gigabytes are calculated as one billion bytes in statistical terms.
