Disc burning options

Burn.Now features a number of options to determine how your
discs are burnt.

Close disc

Closing a disc prevents additional data to be written onto the disc
after the burning process is finished.
The following guidelines should be followed when deciding whether
to close a disc or leave it open:
• A data disc can be left open. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives will
be able to read open data discs.
• Leave an MP3 disc open to keep adding more MP3 files. CD-ROM
drives, MP3 players and CD players that support MP3 playback
will be able to play open MP3 discs.
• If an Audio CD is left open, it can be appended with data files
and used as a data disc as well. An Audio CD that contains both
audio tracks and data tracks is known as a CD-Extra disc.
Close an Audio CD when writing CD-Text onto the disc. Closing
an Audio CD also makes the disc more compatible with CD
players that may not be able to play open discs.
Note: Burn.Now burns a disc in 'Disc-at-Once' mode when you
close the disc, and 'Track-at-Once' mode when the disc is left open.

Direct burn

Direct burn is a quick way of burning discs since it allows data to
be written directly onto the disc. When this feature is disabled, a
temporary disc image file will first be created on the hard drive
before the disc is burnt.
