Chapter 6: Using Multimedia

Using a recordable drive

You can use your DVD/CD-RW or DVD-R/RW drive to create data CDs, music
CDs, or copies of CDs. You can use your DVD-R/RW drive to create data DVDs.
For more information about your drive's capabilities, see "Identifying drive
types" on page 96.

Creating data CDs and DVDs

Use Roxio Easy CD Creator to create data CDs and DVDs. Data CDs and DVDs
are ideal for backing up important files such as tax records, letters, MP3s, digital
movies, or photos. For information on creating music CDs, see "Creating music
CDs" on page 116.
Use your movie creator software to create video DVDs. For more information

If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you
need to swap modules. For more information about
swapping modules, see "Changing modules" on page 91.
We recommend that you do not use your computer for
other tasks while creating CDs or DVDs.
If you record copyrighted material on a CD or DVD, you
need permission from the copyright owner. Otherwise, you
may be violating copyright law and be subject to payment
of damages and other remedies. If you are uncertain about
your rights, contact your legal advisor.
