Burn Data/Mixed CD

Burn Data/Mixed CD
CD volume name – disc title visible e.g. in My Computer when you insert a CD. Click button to set project properties. Create multisession disc – if current project size is much lower than disc capacity you can select this option. Disc recorded as a multisession one can be appended later, of course if there is enough free space. Each session consumes about 20 MB for „useless” additional data (lead-in and lead-out). See: adding sessions. If you create mixed disc (data + audio) multisession affects only data part. Allow overburning - Overburning allows you to record about 13 - 19 megabytes more than official disc size but may cause recorder damage or read errors. All media have capacity bigger than their official size - e.g. 700 MB CD really contains about 725 MB - but this space is designed for session data (lead-out). USE OVERBURNING WITH CAUNTION! Test only - no writing – only recording simulation will be performed. No data will be placed on CD. Write speed – best value depends on your computer and recorder speed and media quality. Many discs claims that they support speed up to 52x but with bigger values write errors occur. We recommend you to use 16 – 20x recording speed. On the fly – disc will be recorded immediately. This option is recommended. First create ISO image – first a disc image is created on your hard disk and after successful creation this image is recorded. There should be enough free disk space on hard drive. You can also select Delete image file after successful writing. Options – click this button to set other options. Save log file – detailed log will be saved on hard disk. Click button to specify its name. Command line – here you can modify cdrecord options. Execute through shell – cdrecord will be executed in separate DOS command window. Writing log file and turning off computer will be disabled. Shutdown computer on finish – select this option to turn off computer after recording. Warning will be displayed one minute before this action, so you can cancel it.
