5.1 Compiling Data CDs/DVDs
With Nero Burning ROM you can compile and burn all types of files and folders. If a DVD re-
corder is installed on your computer, you can burn both data CDs, and data DVDs. If you ha-
ve a CD recorder, you can only burn data CDs and the option for burning a DVD is already
grayed out in the start screen. The procedure for both compilation methods is identical.
SecurDisc recorder
If a SecurDisc
recorder is installed on your computer, you can select it to dis-
play the relevant entry in order to burn a SecurDisc CD or DVD. The proce-
dures for both adding data and burning a SecurDisc data CD/DVD are the
same as the compilation method for a standard data CD/DVD.
The Image Recorder is also suitable for creating an image of a disc type not
supported by the connected recorder. You can therefore create a DVD image,
for instance, without having installed a DVD recorder. You can write the image
to a disc at any time.
Nero Burning ROM supports virtual search folders in the Windows Vista operat-
ing 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 fol-
der and drag the files into the compilation.
Blu-ray recorder
If a Blu-ray recorder is installed on your computer, you can select it to display
the relevant entry in order to burn a Blu-ray disc. The procedures for both com-
piling and burning a Blu-ray data disc are the same as the compilation method
for a data CD/DVD.
To create a data CD/DVD, proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired CD format (CD, DVD) from the drop-down menu in the New 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.)
 The selection list shows the compilation types that can be burned.
