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.
