Copying a CD or DVD
1.
Select Start > All Programs > CyberLink DVD Suites > Power2Go.
2.
Insert the disc you want to copy into the optical drive.
3.
Click Copy at the bottom right of the screen.
Power2Go reads the source disc and copies the data to a temporary folder on your hard drive.

When prompted, remove the source disc from the optical drive and insert a blank disc into the drive.
After the information is copied, the disc you created ejects automatically.
Creating (burning) a CD or DVD
If your computer includes a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, you can use software such
as Windows Media Player or CyberLink Power2Go to burn data and audio files, including MP3 and WAV
music files. To burn video files to a CD or DVD, use Windows DVD Maker.
CAUTION:
to make unauthorized copies of copyright-protected material, including computer programs, films,
broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.
Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD:
●
Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.
●
A CD-R or DVD-R is usually best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it
cannot be changed.
NOTE:
●
Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use CD-Rs to burn music CDs.
●
A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings
before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.
●
DVD players used in home systems usually do not support all DVD formats. Refer to the user guide
that came with your DVD player for a list of supported formats.
●
An MP3 file uses less space than other music file formats, and the process for creating an MP3
disc is the same as the process for creating a data file. MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players
or on computers with MP3 software installed.
To burn a CD or DVD, follow these steps:
1.
Download or copy the source files into a folder on your hard drive.
2.
Insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive.
3.
Select Start > All Programs, and then select the name of the software you want to use.
NOTE:
4.
Select the kind of CD or DVD you want to create—data, audio, or video.
