Copying 11 Copying Nero Burning ROM can be used for copying discs. There are two methods for this: On-the-fly copying Copy over image Each method has advantages and disadvantages which will depend on your requirements. 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.
Copying 11.1.2 Copy Over Image With the copy-over-image method, an image of the original disc is saved to a file first. The image file is then burned to a blank disc. Copying using copy over image takes longer, but it often produces better results. You must have sufficient storage space to use the copy-over-image method (see Image File). The copy-over-image method is particularly suitable in the following situations: Only one drive is available.
Copying The following tabs are available: Image Displays the path to the temporary image file and provides information on the speed of the hard drive (see Image Tab). Copy Options Contains options for configuring copying (see Copy Options Tab). Read Options Contains options for configuring reading of the original disc (see Read Options Tab).

Glossary 19 Glossary AIF Audio Interchange File Format. Audio format developed by Apple for Macintosh. There is no data compression when converting. AIF is the equivalent to Microsoft's WAV format. Blue Book Standard for CDs created in the formats CD Extra and Enhanced CD. Blu-ray Disc Abbreviated to BD. The Blu-ray Disc or Blu-ray is a possible successor to the DVD. The BD was developed by the BDA (Blu-ray Disc Association) in response to high-definition video requirements.
Glossary CD Text Additional information on the CD that can store the title and artists of the individual pieces for instance. CD Text is stored in the so-called lead-in area of the CD before the audio data starts. Not all CD players support CD Text. Despite this a CD with CD Text can still be played in the player. You must have a CD burner which supports CD Text to enable the CD Text to be written to a CD.In particular, CD Text can only be written in disc-at-once mode.
Glossary Emulation Simulation of the structure and function of a system, for example a bootable disc can "emulate" a floppy drive. Encode Encoding is the conversion of audio files that are located on an audio CD into an audio format that the computer can read (e.g. mp3). Finalizing Definitive conclusion of the process of writing to a disc. After this it is not possible to write to the disc anymore. However, a finalized rewritable disc can still be erased.
Glossary Label 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. Lead-out The final area of a session. This area is located at the end of the disc.
Glossary NTSC Standard for video and television in the United States and Japan. NTSC has more frames per second than PAL, but has fewer horizontal lines. OGG Format for digitalized or compressed audio files that have been encoded with the Vorbis method. OGG Vorbis is an Open Source encoder. PAL Video and TV standard in Europe. PAL has more horizontal lines than NTSC, but has fewer frames per second. Photo CD CD which is used for storing images, photos, slides, and other visual data.
Glossary Simulation Performs all steps in a burn process without using the laser beam. We recommend running a simulation if you are decompressing data before burning, e.g. when burning an audio CD from MP3 files. You can assume that if simulation is successful, the burn process will also be successful. Track Data unit that joins successive sectors on a disc. On an audio CD a track corresponds to a piece of music. Several tracks together with the lead-in and lead-out constitute a session.
