Troubleshooting

My Recording Failed

If your recording failed, try the following, and then
record your files again:
•
Close all other programs, and don't perform any
tasks while recording.
•
Enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) on your PC.
•
Reduce maximum recording speed.
•
Manually select a slower recording speed. Each
time you make a recording, RecordNow! selects
the optimum recording speed for your drive and
the disc you are using. Refer to the Help menu in
RecordNow! for more information about selecting
a slower recording speed.
•
Make sure you select the correct drive before
recording. RecordNow! selects the first optical
drive it finds, but you can select the drive in
RecordNow! before you begin recording.
•
Make sure you have enough space available on
your hard disk drive for RecordNow! to store a
temporary copy of your CD.
•
RecordNow! can record only to the same disc type
it records from. For example, you can record a
DVD only to a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc, and you
can record a CD only to a CD-R or a CD-RW disc.

Creating DVDs and CDs
Capture digital and analogue video files directly from a digital video (DV) camera, VCR or other
analogue capture device in a few steps.
Assemble movies by capturing video clips and scenes into your video project.
Edit your movies. Cut scenes and add music, sound effects, still images, text, video transitions
and voice-overs.
Preview movies during editing and before recording final files.
Create video files, export them to your hard disk drive, to your digital video camera, to a VHS
tape or to an e-mail file, and then play them on your PC.
Create video files, record them to DVDs and CDs, and then play them on some set-top DVD
players.
Record video files to VCDs and DVDs.
Create MPEG files.
•
When you create a DVD or CD, RecordNow! does
not let you add a track if it exceeds the available
space on your disc. Most CD-R discs can record
about 80 minutes. You can make space available
by removing one or more tracks from the list
before recording the remaining files to CD.

I Can't Add Files to My Music CD

When recording a music CD, RecordNow! creates a
closed session CD, which means no additional files
can be added to that disc after the initial recording.

I Can't Add Data Files to My DVD

When you create a data CD in RecordNow!, data files
can be added in later recording sessions until the disc
is full. If you want to record data to a DVD in
multiple sessions, you must set the correct recording
option.
To do this, insert your data disc, open
RecordNow!, click the Options icon
(wrench), select the Advanced tab, and then
select the multiple session recording option.
