Making A Data Disc - Ulead BURN.NOW 4 User Manual

Making a data disc

A data disc is a disc that contains computer files. Computer files can include a wide
variety of data including word-processed documents, spreadsheets, multimedia
files including music, video clips, images, and more. Discs are extremely
convenient for storing data as they can hold large quantities. CDs can hold up to
700MB of data, while DVDs and BDs can hold gigabytes of data. Since recordable/
rewritable discs are relatively inexpensive, they are quick and convenient way of
backing up computer systems. As an added bonus, their compactness allows for
easy storage and transportation.
Burn.Now streamlines the process of putting together a data disc, taking care of all
the complicated decisions for you. All you need to do is decide the kind of disc to
