Creating a Data Disc

Before you begin

If you plan to use a BD-R (write once) disc when creating a data disc, you should consider whether you want the disc left open (appendable) or closed (non appendable) at the end of a recording session.

•To leave the disc open, choose the option I would like to use discs for more than one recording. Selecting this option allows you to record multiple times to a single disc. However, fewer drives may be able to read the disc. Use this option if you expect to make many small recordings on high capacity discs, or if you do not need to share your discs.

•To close the disc, choose I only need to use discs for one recording. Selecting this option allows you to record only one time to a disc. However, a larger number of drives will be able to read the disc. Use this option if you typically fill your discs during a single recording session or wish to use the disc on more than one computer.
