About Storing Data Files on Disc

When storing data files on a disc, it is important to
note that:
•
You can add new data files to a CD-R and a
DVD+R in a later recording session, until the disc is
full. With DVD+R discs, you need to select the
correct setting in RecordNow! to record files in
a later session. To do this, insert your recorded
DVD, open RecordNow!, click the Options icon
(wrench), click Data, select the recording option
you want, and then click OK.
•
When you record files that have the same name
as previously recorded files, RecordNow! updates
the file and the previous version is overwritten.
•
RecordNow! allows you to change file names and
titles of files you want to record and files that were
previously recorded.
•
As you select data files to record to your disc,
RecordNow! calculates and displays the amount of
recording space available on your disc.
