New Compilation Window

In the New Compilation window you can select the disc type and configure the options for the disc format. The window basically looks the same for all disc types. The only difference is the tabs that are available. When you start Nero Burning ROM, the New Compilation window opens automatically. If the window is not open, click the New button. The window consists of a drop-down menu, a selection list, various tabs, and buttons.

New Compilation window, CD-ROM disc type
If the Image Recorder is not enabled, only those disc types supported by the physical recorder are displayed in the drop-down menu. If the recorder can only burn CDs, the dropdown menu is grayed out. Using Nero Burning ROM you can create image files for disc types that the installed recorder cannot burn. You can enable this function via the File > Options > Expert Features menu, Enable all supported recorder formats for image recorder check box. The drop-down menu in the Compilation window then makes available all supported disc types. The following entries are available in the selection list: Entry CD/DVD-ROM/Blu-ray (ISO) Creates a data disc, each file type can be burned. The burned data complies with the ISO 966 standard.
User Interface Entry Audio CD Creates a standard Audio CD that can be played on all (audio) CD players at least. Creates a CD with data and audio files in a single session. Usually a data file is followed by one or more audio files for instance (e.g. soundtrack for PC games). Older Audio CD players are often not capable of recognizing the data file and attempt to play it. Creates a multisession CD with audio and data files that are Entry CD EXTRA stored in two sessions. The first session contains the audio files and the second session the data. Common CD players play the first session as Audio CDs. The second session can only be used by PCs with a CD-ROM drive, it cannot be recognized by a normal CD player. Copies a source disc to a CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc.

Selection Screen

The selection screen is displayed in the main screen after you select the disc type and format in the New Compilation window and click the New button. The selection screen consists mainly of the compilation area and the browser area. Essentially, all selection screens have the same structure.
User Interface The compilation area is located on the left side of the screen, and is named after the relevant compilation. Files and folders are compiled here for burning. In the browser area (File Browser) on the right side you can find the elements that you want to burn. You can add data to your projects using the drag and drop function: Drag and drop the elements from the browser area to the compilation area. If the Browser area is hidden, you can show it again using the button.
The following setting options are available: Allows you to select another disc type without loss of information. The option to change the disc type is useful when starting a compilation without knowing how much space is required by the files. Available for data compilations only. Selection list DVD9 (8.5 GB) / DVD5 (4.7 GB) Allows you to expand or shrink the capacity bar according to the type of DVD you are going to burn. Choose the DVD9 (8.5 GB) option for a double layer DVD (DVD DL) and DVD5 (4.7 GB) for a single layer DVD. Available for all DVD compilations. Allows you to expand or shrink the capacity bar according to the type of Blu-ray Disc you are going to burn:

Disc type drop-down menu

Selection list
BD QL (BDXL) (128 GB) for a quadruple layer Blu-ray Disc, BD QL (BDXL) (128 GB) / BD TL (BDXL) (100 GB) for a triple layer Blu-ray Disc, BD TL (BDXL) (100 GB) BD DL (50 GB) for a double layer Blu-ray Disc (BD DL) and BD DL (50 GB) / BD (25 GB) for a single layer Blu-ray Disc. BD (25 GB) Available for all Blu-ray Disc compilations except BDMVVideo. Starts the burn process immediately. If you want to check or select the burn or compilation options again before burning, click the Burn button in the upper part of the screen.

Button Burn Now

The bottom margin of the screen contains a capacity scale in MB or GB for data discs or minutes (min) for Audio CDs. The exact size of the scale will depend on which disc type you have selected. Actual capacity of media formats The actual capacity of the DVD5, DVD9, BD DL, and BDXL media formats is less than as stated by the disc manufacturers. For example, the actual capacity of a 4.7 GB DVD5 is around 4.38 GB only.
User Interface This is because of different conversion systems. A DVD5-media format can handle 4.700.000.000 bytes, but this number is not equal to the 4.7 GB stated by the disc manufacturers. The correct conversion factor for bytes is not 1000, but 1024: 1024 byte = 1 KB 1024 KByte * 1024 KByte = 1 MB 1024 KByte * 1024 KByte * 1024 KByte = 1 GB A DVD can handle 4.700.000.000 bytes: 4.700.000.000 bytes = 4.589.843 KB = 4.482 MB = 4.377 GB The capacity bar in Nero Burning ROM will always show you the correct amount of bytes measured in MB or GB. When you are compiling files, a capacity bar shows you the estimated size of the selected files and the available space on the disc. The color of the capacity bar indicates whether the data will fit on the disc or not: Green capacity bar Yellow capacity bar Red capacity bar The data will fit on the disc. The data might fit on the disc. The size of the disc that has been inserted will determine whether the data will fit or not. The data will not fit on the disc. (Unless you have inserted an oversize disc.)
The yellow and red marks are set by default for discs that are commercially available. The disc type you have selected will determine the exact scale value. Capacity of the CD recordable disc For example, blank CDs are available with a capacity of 650 MB (74 min) or 700 MB (80 min). Therefore, the yellow mark is set for CDs at 650 MB and the red at 700 MB.
Display the Capacity Bar If the capacity scale is hidden you can display it again by clicking the File > Options > Compilation menu and by selecting the check box Show the compilation size in the Nero status bar.

Data Disc

Compiling Data Disc
With Nero Burning ROM you can compile and burn all types of files and folders. If a Blu-ray recorder is installed on your computer you can burn data CDs, data DVDs and data Blu-ray Discs. If you have a CD recorder you can only burn data CDs. The procedure for all data compilation methods is identical. The Image Recorder is also suitable for creating an image of a disc type not supported by the connected recorder. For example, you can therefore create a DVD image without having installed a DVD recorder. You can then write the image to a disc at any time. To create a data disc, proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired disc format (CD, DVD, Blu-ray) from the drop-down menu in the New
The selection list shows the compilation types that can be burned.
Compilation window. (In the case that the New Compilation window is not opened, it can be opened by clicking the New button on the main screen.)
Data Disc You can select an appropriate disc format without loss of information at any time in the main screen. Note that this has to be technically possible - for example you are obliged to burn an Audio CD to a CD. But it is possible to start with a data CD and change later to a data DVD, for example. The possibility to change the disc type is useful when starting a compilation without knowing how much space is required by the files.
2. Select the desired compilation type for a data disc from the selection list (CD/DVD-
ROM/Blu-ray Disc (ISO), CD/DVD-ROM/Blu-ray Disc (UDF), or CD/DVD-ROM/Blu-ray Disc (UDF/ISO). The tabs with the configuration options that are valid for this compilation type are displayed.
3. Set the options you require on the tabs. 4. Click the New button.
The New Compilation window is closed and the selection screen is displayed.

Compilation screen

5. Select the files/folders that you want to burn from the browser area. 6. Drag the required files/folders into the compilation area on the left side.
The files are added to the compilation and displayed in the compilation screen. The capacity bar indicates how much space is required on the disc. In Nero Burning ROM, there is the option of defining filters for individual files or folders by dragging files or folders into the compilation areas with the depressed right mouse button. For instance, it is possible to filter for a particular type of file (*.doc, *.xls, *.txt) or select which type of file is not to be taken up in the compilation area.
Data Disc It is very easy to hide files in data compilations for additional protection or for security reasons so that they do not appear on the normal display. The files behave in the same way as other hidden system files that are hidden by default, but can easily be displayed. To hide files, right-click the required file, select the Properties option and then select the Hide check box. Nero Burning ROM supports virtual search folders in the Windows Vista operating system. The search is selected by dragging it into the compilation area. If you want to select the files of the search folder, you must open the search folder and drag the files into the compilation.

You can also enter additional information about the Audio CD such as the producer or comments. 5.1.2.2 CDA Settings The CDA Options tab provides options for configuring CD-DA files on the Audio CD. The CDA file strategy area allows you to select the strategy that Nero Burning ROM should use for handling selected audio files from a source Audio CD. In general there are two methods:
Read the audio file and store it in the cache temporarily. The Audio CD can be burned in disc-at-once mode, which supports CD Text. Create a reference to the audio file and read it shortly before burning (track reference). The Audio CD can only be burned in track-at-once mode. To add tracks from a source Audio CD to your audio compilation, we generally recommend the following alternative: Rip the source Audio CD to hard drive (see Copy Audio CD to Hard Drive 48). Ideally, save the tracks in the lossless FLAC format. Then proceed by adding the audio files to the audio compilation.
The following setting options are available on the CDA Options tab in the CDA File Strategy area: Saves the audio files temporarily to the Nero Burning ROM cache. If there is no space available, a reference is created to the audio file and is not read until shortly before burning. This entry is selected by default.

5.5.4 MP3 and MP3PRO Encoding Options
With Nero Burning ROM you can encode audio files of an Audio CD in MP3 and MP3PRO formats. Set these options in the MP3PRO window that you can open in the Encode files window via the Settings button. Ensure that you have selected MP3/MP3PRO as the Output file format.

MP3PRO window

The following encoding options are available in the Settings area: Drop-down menu Encoder quality Specifies the encoder quality. Fast, Medium and Highest are available. These settings specify whether you place more value on fast encoding (Fast) or more value on a superior psychoacoustic encoder model for the very best results (Highest).
Audio CD and Audio Files Selects a constant bit rate, i.e. the data flow per unit of time and the quality of the saved data are the same over the entire audio file. If the bit rate is small, less data is transferred. The file is then small, but quality is lower. If the bit rate is high, more data is transferred. The file size is then large, but the quality is high. The default value of 128 for MP3 files is near CD quality. In the drop-down menu, select the Options that affect the bit rate: scan rate per second in kBit, scan frequency per second in Hertz and the channels. Selects variable bit rate, i.e. the data flow per unit of time - and thus the quantity of the saved data - adapts to the dynamics of the audio file. The bit rate, for example, can be lowered at quieter points in the track. Select your desired quality level in the drop-down menu. Note that not all players are able to show the correct length of MP3 files that were recorded with variable bit rate. The following encoding options are available: Check box Enable MP3PRO Button Expert Specifies the encoder method used. If you select the check box, an MP3PRO file is created (*.mp3 file extension). If you clear the check box, an MP3 file is created (also *.mp3 file extension). Opens the advanced area where you can configure Expert Features.

Ensure that you have selected OGG Vorbis as the Output file format. The following setting options are available in the OGG Vorbis Settings window: Specifies a constant bit rate, i.e. the data flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data is the same over the entire audio file. If the bit rate is small, less data is transferred. The file is then small, but quality is lower. If the bit rate is high, more data is transferred. The file size is then large, but the quality is high. The default value of 128 is near CD quality.
Audio CD and Audio Files Specifies a variable bit rate, i.e. the data flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data adapts to the dynamics of the audio file. The bit rate, for example, can be lowered at quieter points in the track. You can set the variable bit rate between 0 and 100. 0 means the lowest, 100 the highest quality.

Compiling DVD-Video

With Nero Burning ROM you can burn DVDs made up of DVD-Video files from your hard drive. You can play your burned DVDs on almost all DVD players. You can use Nero Burning ROM to burn a DVD Video if the DVD video title, i.e. a complete DVD folder structure, is already available. In Nero Burning ROM it is not possible to create a DVD-Video, an AVCHD video, or a BDMV-Video from video files. You can convert video files to DVD-Video, to AVCHD video, or BDMV-Video in Nero Vision for example. Nero Vision is included in the full version of Nero Multimedia Suite. More information about Nero Vision is available on the Web site www.nero.com, and more information about video editing is available in the separate Nero Vision manual. To compile a DVD-Video, proceed as follows:
1. Select the DVD entry from the drop-down menu in the New Compilation window. (In case 2. Choose the DVD Video compilation type from the selection list.

You have successfully compiled a DVD-Video and can now burn this compilation.
Compiling an AVCHD Video Disc
With Nero Burning ROM you can burn an AVCHD video disc made up of AVCHD video files from your hard drive or camcorder. The AVCHD video disc can be burned to a DVD as usual, or to a Blu-ray Disc. Burning to a Blu-ray Disc has the benefit that it offers more space than a DVD. AVCHD video on DVD is compatible to the specification of a Blu-ray Disc. However, playback is not guaranteed on all Blu-ray players.
Video You can use Nero Burning ROM to burn an AVCHD video disc if the complete folder structure including premastered files is already available. In Nero Burning ROM it is not possible to create a DVD-Video, an AVCHD video, or a BDMV-Video from video files. You can convert video files to DVD-Video, to AVCHD video, or BDMV-Video in Nero Vision for example. Nero Vision is included in the full version of Nero Multimedia Suite. More information about Nero Vision is available on the Web site www.nero.com, and more information about video editing is available in the separate Nero Vision manual.

If you have a Labelflash recorder, you can print a label on the label and/or data side of the Labelflash DVD. A Labelflash DVD has a special layer between the top and bottom layers; this layer can be heated by the laser in the recorder so that images and text can be printed on the DVD. The interface in the Burn Label screen works on the same principle as Nero CoverDesigner. Basically, it is irrelevant whether you print the label on paper or directly onto an appropriate disc. Please see the separate Nero CoverDesigner user manual for full instructions on how to make professional looking covers and labels.
This feature is only available in recorders that support Labelflash technology.

10.1 Burn Label Screen

In the Burn Label window you can create or load a label and write it on a Labelflash DVD. Information on the selected printing quality and rotation speed is displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.

Copying a Disc

Nero Burning ROM can be used for copying discs. There are two methods for this:

12.1 Methods of Copying

On-the-fly Copy Over Image
Each method has advantages and disadvantages which will depend on your requirements.
12.1.1 On-the-fly Copying
When using the on-the-fly method, insert the original disc into a drive and a recordable disc into the drive. The original disc in the drive is copied immediately without any time delay to the blank disc in the recorder. The on-the-fly method allows you to copy discs very quickly, and does not require any additional space on the disc. In order to be able to use the on-the-fly method, you will need at least two drives: one for reading the disc and a disc burner for writing. The following requirements apply to the read drive and disc burner:
The disc burner must feature buffer underrun protection, or the drive must be capable of delivering the data sufficiently quickly. The read speed should be at least twice as fast as the write speed.
The read drive must be capable of delivering information on the number and type of sessions, otherwise Nero Burning ROM may not be able to produce an exact copy.
If you want to copy Audio CDs, we recommend the copy image method because the quality of the read audio files can suffer depending on the drive.

About Nero Burning ROM

The powerful burning software Nero Burning ROM allows you to burn your data, music and videos to disc. Nero Burning ROM gives you full, customized control of your burning projects. You can define the file system, the length of the file name and the character set as well as change the disc label, for example. And of course you can also customize the Nero Burning ROM toolbar and change the keyboard shortcuts. Despite its wide range of features, Nero Burning ROM has remained an easy-to-use burning program that creates discs in just a few steps. You select the disc type to be burned (CD/DVD/Blu-ray/HD DVD), define the project type, add the required data and then start burning.

Audio CD CDA Options CD EXTRA Video CD Menu Audiobook CD Boot Burn

6.1.1 Multisession Tab

The Multisession tab provides the option to create multisession discs for data discs. Multisession discs can be burned in multiple sessions until you have reached the maximum disc capacity. A session is a self-contained data area that is burned using a single process, and consists of a lead-in (with the table of contents), one or more tracks, and a lead-out. Discs without the multisession option, e.g. audio CDs, are burned in a single session. Multisession discs are particularly suitable for backing up important files burned on a regular basis. If a new multisession disc is being started, Nero Burning ROM also saves (if possible) the point of origin for the files. This information is used when continuing the multisession disc. If a multisession disc is being continued, Nero Burning ROM automatically sets a cross reference to the imported session, i.e. the table of contents for the imported session is copied to the table of contents for the current session. You must define which session is being imported at the start of the burn process. The files in the previous sessions are retained and continue to take up space. In the case of unchanged files, a cross reference is set to the file of the same name in the previous session. Check the Replace files in compilation and Add new files to compilation boxes to ensure that changes and new files are incorporated into the table of contents and burned again. The boxes are checked by default. In this case Nero Burning ROM automatically verifies whether the correct multisession disc has been inserted for continuation. If not, the disc is ejected. If you uncheck the Finalize disc box on the Burn tab, you can always write additional sessions to the disc, but then only the last session will be visible and you will only be able to access data from the last session.

Fig. 4: Multisession tab

The Multisession tab contains the following radio buttons in the Multisession area: Burns the selected compilation in one session to the disc. Start Multisession Disc If the disc already contains sessions, you can also select this option. Sessions are then not imported and cross references are not set. Continues a multisession disc by burning an additional session to a disc with at least one session. Cross references to the imported session are set in the process. Creates a disc without a multisession.

2. Select the disc format you want from the combo box.
The tabs for this disc format are displayed. Select the Copy CD and Copy DVD entries to go to the copy process (see Copying).
3. Configure the options you want in the tabs (see New Compilation Window). 4. Click on the New button.
The New Compilation window is closed and the selection screen is opened. You have successfully created a new compilation. Now you can add files to the compilation (see File Selection).

File Selection

Selection Screen
The selection screen is the starting point for work that you want to do on compilations. The selection screen is opened in the main screen after you select the disc type and format and click on the New button. The selection screen consists of the compilation area, the browser area, and a capacity scale.
Fig. 7: Selection screen for the disc type CD-ROM (ISO)
The compilation area is named after the relevant compilation. Files and folders are compiled here for burning. In the browser area (Browser), you can find the elements that you want to burn. There are four tabs: The File Browser is similar to other file browsers and provides a toolbar and address bar with typical functionality. In Media Search, Web Search, and Saved Searches you can use Nero Search to find files on the computer. The search wizard Nero Search is an application in the Nero 8 Suite and is automatically installed while Nero 8 is being installed. You will find further information in the Nero Scout manual.
If the browser area is hidden, you can show it again using the
The bottom margin of the screen contains a capacity scale in MB (for data discs) or minutes (for Audio CDs). The exact magnitude of the scale will depend on which disc type you have selected. When you are compiling files, a capacity bar indicates how much space the files need on the disc. The color of the capacity bar indicates whether the data will fit on the disc or not:

Nero Burning ROM 27

Green capacity bar Yellow capacity bar (from the yellow mark on the scale) Red capacity bar (from the red mark on the scale)
The data will fit on the disc. The data might fit on the disc. The size of the disc that has been inserted will determine whether the data will fit or not. The data will not fit on the disc (unless you have inserted an oversize disc).
The yellow and red marks are set by default for discs that are commercially available. The disc type you have selected will determine the exact scale value. For example, blank CDs are available with a capacity of 650 MB or 700 MB. Therefore the yellow mark is set for CDs at 650 MB and the red at 700 MB. If the capacity scale is hidden, you can show it again by clicking on the File > Options > Show compilation size menu and by checking the box Show compilation size in the Nero status bar.

11.1 On-the-fly Copying Versus Copy Over Image
11.1.1 On-the-fly Copying
LOLWhen using the on-the-fly method, insert the original disc into a drive and a blank disc into the burner. The original disc in the drive is copied immediately without any time delay to the blank disc in the burner. The on-the-fly method allows you to copy very fast and does not require any additional storage space. In order to be able to use the on-the-fly method, you will need at least two drives: one for reading the disc and a burner for writing. The following requirements apply to the drive and burner: The burner must have a function for protecting against buffer underruns or the drive must be capable of delivering the data sufficiently fast. The read speed must be at least as high as the write speed to ensure that a buffer underrun does not occur. It is more reliable when the read speed is twice as fast as the write speed. The drive must be capable of delivering information on the number and type of sessions, otherwise Nero Burning ROM may not be able to produce an exact copy. On-the-fly copying can have the following disadvantages: If the burner does not have a function for protecting against buffer underruns, the on-thefly method is highly sensitive to read errors. The reason for this is as follows: if errors occur while the disc is being read because it is scratched, it is not possible to try to eliminate the error by reading the disc several times for example because, in contrast to the copy-over-image method, there is not enough time (danger of buffer underrun). Index positions in audio files get lost. The reason for this is as follows: Index positions only become identifiable if the corresponding position on the CD is read. However, on-the-fly copies can only be burned using the disc-at-once method. With this method the information on the index positions must be available before the burn process begins. This means that Nero Burning ROM cannot copy over index positions. The quality of audio data read in may suffer. The reason for this is as follows: Nero Burning ROM reads several megabytes of data at a time from the drive, Nero Burning ROM transfers the data to the cache, and writes the data to the burner. If the data transfer slows down because the buffer in Nero Burning ROM is full for instance, the reading head of the drive has to jump back to a previous position. Some drives cannot position the read head precisely for Audio CDs, which means that corrupt audio data may be transferred sometimes.

1. Download the database from the www.freedb.org website and save the database on your
hard drive. The database is at least 160 MB. Downloading of the database does not take place in Nero Burning ROM. Nero AG is not responsible for the www.freedb.org website, but just provides an interface to it.
2. Click on the Database > Import Internet Database menu in the main Nero Burning ROM
screen. A dialog box is opened informing you that the import may take several hours. The import takes a long time because of the sheer size of the database and the numerous cross references that Nero Burning ROM creates. Although you can cancel the procedure at any time, we advise against it because the procedure cannot be resumed. The database would have to be imported again, which would involve duplicate entries.
3. Click on the Yes button.
A dialog box is opened, prompting you to download the database files from wwww.freedb.org.
The Browse Folder window is opened.
5. Specify the directory containing the downloaded database files and click on the OK button.
6. Specify the directory in which Nero Burning ROM should create the database and click on
the OK button. The Current Operation window is opened and the database is created. Once the database has been created, the window is closed and a dialog box prompts you to confirm the database as your new program database.
7. Click on the Yes button.
You have successfully imported the Internet database. The Database menu contains the entries Open Program CD Database and Open Program Title Database.
12.1.2 Creating a User Database
Using Nero Burning ROM you can create a user database and populate it with your own entries. The user database is often used to store information about your own audio CD collection and to record information about self-burned audio CDs. To create the user database, proceed as follows:
1. In the main Nero Burning ROM screen click on the Database > Create New User Database
menu. The Browse Folder window is opened.
2. Select a destination path for the user database and click on the OK button.
The Current Operation window is opened. After the database has been created, the window is closed and a dialog box prompts you to confirm this database as your new user database.
You have successfully created a user database. The Database menu contains the options Open User CD Database and Open User Title Database.

LightScribe

If you have a LightScribe burner, you can also print the label side of a LightScribe CD/DVD with Nero Burning ROM. The label side of the disc has a special color or thermal layer which is heated by the laser in the burner so that images and text are printed. This feature is only available for LightScribe burners. Using LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling When using a CD or DVD burner with LightScribe support, you system requires the latest LightScribe System Software. If you have downloaded and installed an updated version of Nero 8 from the Nero web site, install the LightScribe System Software separately. You can download the latest version at http://www.nero.com/link.php?topic_id=114&gen_id=8.
14.1 CD Label Editor Window
In the CD Label Editor window you can create or load a label. The window is opened when you click on the Create button in the LightScribe area on the Misc tab for the current compilation. The interface in the CD Label Editor window works on the same principle as Nero CoverDesigner. Basically, it is irrelevant whether you print the label on paper or directly onto an appropriate disc. Please see the separate Nero CoverDesigner user manual for full instructions on how to make professional looking covers and labels.
Fig. 22: CD Label Editor window for LightScribe
The screen offers the following setting options: Inner radius Outer radius Width Label templates New Open Save As OK Preview Cancel Defines the distance between the label and the inner edge. Defines the distance between the label and the outer edge. Defines the width of the print area. Contains a selection of different templates for designing the label. You can continue to edit and customize a selected template. Generates a new label document. Opens an existing label which was created using Nero CoverDesigner. Saves the label you have created. Adds the label you created to the compilation and closes the window. Opens the Print Preview window that shows how the label should appear on the LightScribe disc. Cancels the procedure and closes the window.

Preview Label templates Burn Cancel
If you are creating a DiscT@2, Nero Burning ROM displays only the available print area for creating the label by default, i.e. the area on the data side of your DVD that is not already taken up by data. You cannot increase the radius of the print area.
15.2 Printing LabelFlash Labels and DiskT@2
Basically, it is irrelevant whether you print on the label or the data side when creating labels. The label is actually printed outside the normal burn process. You can print on the label side of the DVD at any time. We recommend that you print on the data side first when you have burned the compilation. It is not possible to burn data on a printed data side. When you insert a DVD on which data has already been burned, Nero Burning ROM automatically identifies the space that is still available on the data side and on which you can print. To print a LabelFlash label on the front or a DiscT@2 label on the flipside, proceed as follows:
1. If you want to print a LabelFlash label on the label side, insert a blank LabelFlash disc
into the burner with the label side facing down. The Burn Label window is opened with the LabelFlash logo.
2. If you want to print a DiskT@2 on the data side, insert a blank LabelFlash disc with the
data side facing down into the burner. The Burn Label window is opened with the DiskT@2 logo.
3. Create a label according to your requirements or open a label (File > Open menu) that you
have already created with Nero CoverDesigner. The interface in the Burn Label window and the process for creating a label work on the same principle as Nero CoverDesigner. Please see the Nero CoverDesigner user manual for full instructions on how to make professional looking covers and labels.
4. If you want to change the area in which the label is printed, change the print area accordingly
using the text boxes Inner Radius and Width.
5. If you want to view or change the print properties:
1. Click on the Change button.

Nero Burning ROM 74

The LabelFlash(TM) Print Properties window is opened.
Fig. 25: LabelFlash Print Properties window
2. If you want to change the printing quality, select a quality level from the Print quality profile drop-down menu. 3. If you select the User defined entry from the Print quality profile drop-down menu, you can change the contrast level and the rotation speed. 4. Click on the OK button. The LabelFlash(TM) Print Properties window is closed and the changes accepted.
The labeling procedure starts and the LabelFlash(TM) - printing or DiscT@2(TM) printing window is opened. The window shows you the estimated printing time and the print progress. When printing is complete, a dialog box opens informing you about the successful print process.

The Options window contains the following tabs: Tab Compilation Cache Language Sounds Audio Expert Features Description Contains options for the compilation and the selection screen. Contains options for the cache. Contains selection options for language and font. Contains selection options for sounds in connection with burn tasks. Displays the directory for the audio plug-ins. Contains options for configuring overburning and burning (see Expert Features). We recommend that you retain the default settings. Database Ultrabuffer Shows the path to the local Audio CD database and offers the option to use the Internet database. Defines the size of the RAM buffer.

File Browser Misc

Contains options for configuring the file browser. Contains options for configuring compilations, burning, the database, the user interface as well as advanced settings for Nero Burning ROM. Contains options for configuring LightScribe burners such as the print contrast (quality), default drive, and default template for instance. This tab is only available if a LightScribe burner has been installed.

18.2 Expert Features

The Expert Features tab in the Options window provides you with further configuration options for burning and overburning for instance. You can restore the default feature at any time by simply clicking on the Restore button. Using Nero Burning ROM you can overburn a disc beyond the specified capacity. You can button. Tolerances in the manufacturing process display the capacity of a disc using the often cause the actual rewritable area on the disc to exceed the maximum specified capacity. This additional area is often 2-3 minutes long, but may also be shorter or longer. It is not technically possible to establish the precise extent of the excess capacity prior to burning. During the overburn process, the following difficulties may arise: Read errors, sound errors, incorrectly written data, and error messages during the burn process. Theoretically the burner could be damaged. The following configuration options are available: Enable Disc-at-once CD overburning Relative maximum overburning size Enables overburning for CDs in disc-at-once mode. Defines the relative maximum overburning size. The position of the yellow mark on the capacity indicator also changes. Caution: This is only a visual signal and does not create any extra space on the disc. Defines the absolute maximum overburning size. The position of the red mark on the capacity indicator also changes. Caution: This is only a visual signal and does not create any additional space on the disc. Enables overburning for DVDs. If the box is checked, you can specify the maximum DVD size in the text box. Writes a short lead-out for CDs that are being burned in discat-once mode. This creates additional capacity of about 12 MB. Does not eject the disc after the burn process is complete. Disables finalizing when an image file is saved.

HD DVD

High Definition DVD. A possible successor to the DVD with greater storage capacity. The format is recognized by the DVD Forum. The HD DVD was developed in response to highdefinition video requirements. Single-layer discs can store data volumes of up to 15 GB. In HD DVD burners a blue-violet laser is used, which can write the data "more tightly" on the disc. This makes it possible to store large quantities of data.

HFS CD

File system used by Apple Macintosh systems. This format is only suitable for Macintosh discs.

Image file

An individual file on the hard drive that contains an image of a complete disc. An image can be used if problems occur during the burn process or if there is no burner connected to the PC.

Index position

You can set index positions within an audio track. You can "jump" to these using a suitable CD player. Currently, only very few CD players can handle index positions.

Table of contents (TOC)

Indicates the content of each session. The table of contents is stored in the lead-in.

Jitter Correction

Many CD-ROM drives cannot read an individual sector on an audio CD, which means that small gaps may occur in the data stream. Audio correction synchronizes the data stream by overlapping the sectors and so gaps do not occur.
Cross fade with previous track
A crossfade is a merging between two audio tracks. The start of the new track begins softly, while the current track is still playing. The two tracks merge without a pause.

Nero Burning ROM 86

Most CDs have an imprint or label. You can use different methods, such as screen printing for example, to apply a label to the CD.

Lead-in

The initial area of every session at the beginning of the disc is known as the lead-in. This is where the table of contents for your disc and additional information concerning the disc is stored.

Transcoding refers to the conversion from one audio format to another, e.g. WAV files to MP3 files.
Video Compact Disc, Video CD. Movies, audio, and video data is stored using the MPEG compression standard. VCDs can be played by the majority of CD-ROMs, DVD players, and DVD-ROM drives with the appropriate software for processing this video format.

Volume descriptor

Area at the beginning of a CD containing the structure of the file system. It may also contain additional and optional information about the CD (e.g. the name of the CD, the publisher, the copyright notice).
Audio format developed by Microsoft for Windows. There is no data compression when converting. WAV is the equivalent to Apple's AIF format.

Yellow Book

The Yellow Book is the standard for the format of CDs used for data storage.
