Section 2: Creating Discs

There are two main components to creating discs, printing and burning. For PC, SureThing CD Labler is used to design the image to print on the disc. For Mac, Disc Cover is used to design the image to print on disc. For Mac and PC, PTPublisher controls the recording and allows you to select the image to be printed to your discs.

A. TUTORIAL: COPY A DISC (PRINT ONLY FOR AUTOPRINTER USERS)

Note: PTPublisher functions virtually the same on both Mac and PC. Every effort was made to make them look and function the same. However, due the unique benefits and limitations of both operating systems there are subtle differences. Where important, those differences will be highlighted. In general, these instructions will apply to both the Mac and PC editions.

Note for AutoPrinter Users: Start at step 4 after choosing Print Only from the project starter window.

There are three basic steps to any project. 1. Add Data 2. Add a Print File. 3. Set the number of copies and adjust options (Summary). The instructions below explain how to do the most common project - A Copy Project.

A Copy Project can be used to copy any CD, DVD, DVD-DL or Blu-ray master. This job type reads the master disc from the Disc Publisher drive to the hard drive of your computer.

The master is stored in the Global Image format (*.gi) in a temporary location on your computer. PTPublisher uses this temporary file to make all subsequent copies that are requested. The master disc is read only once to create the initial temporary file.

Recommended for: All CD, DVD or Blu-ray content or disc types (Audio CD, Data CD, Software Install Disc, Video CD, DVD Video, Blu-ray Video: CDR, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM, DVD+DL, DVD-DL, BDR, BDR-DL, etc.). This is best used for single runs where you will not need to make additional copies of the master disc at a later time.

This project requires a master disc. If you do not have one use another project type. (See Section 3B)
