Copying a Disc 11 Copying a Disc 11.1 Methods of Copying Nero Express can be used for copying discs. There are two methods for this: On-the-fly Copy Over Image Each method has advantages and disadvantages which will depend on your requirements. 11.1.1 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.
Copying a Disc 11.2 Copying a Disc With Nero Express you can copy a disc. That means you make an exact copy of a source disc and burn it to a target disc. If your source disc is an Audio CD, for instance, your copy will be an Audio CD as well. Depending on your installed burner, you can copy CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs. The target disc must be the same disc type as the source disc - you can copy a DVD only to a DVD, for example.

Erase Rewritable Disc Window 12 Erase Rewritable Disc Window Nero Express can be used to erase rewritable discs, i.e. discs with the RW specification, as long as your recorder supports this feature. Two erase methods are available for this purpose: Quick erasing does not remove the data physically from the disc, but instead only makes it inaccessible by erasing the references to existing content. The data can be restored! Full erasing removes the data from the disc by overwriting it with zeros.
Erase Rewritable Disc Window takes between one and two minutes. The Full-erase rewritable disc method physically erases all data from the disc. The contents cannot be restored with conventional methods. Repeated full erasing increases the probability that third parties will not be able to reconstruct the contents. Erasing the disc using this method takes longer than the other method, depending on the type of disc involved. Selection list Erase speed Button Erase Button Cancel Defines the erase speed.

Glossary 17 Glossary AIFF The Audio Interchange File Format is an uncompressed audio file format from Apple® and represents a sort of counterpart to the WAV format from Microsoft. Files are larger than when using a compressed format, but the quality is higher. AIFF compressed is the compressed variation. Archive Bit Archive bits are used to identify files that have been edited. A file is only resaved during the next backup process if it was edited (and an archive bit is thus reset).
Glossary Cache Cache is a faster buffer that is used in various areas of a computer to access larger data volumes faster. Cache ensures a continuous flow of data. CD-R Compact Disc-Recordable is a technology for write-once media. The Orange Book standard defines the storage of audio data and other computer-readable data. Disc-At-Once Disc-At-Once refers to a method in which the laser in your disc burner burns the disc in one pass without turning off and on between each track.
Glossary MP3 The MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 audio format is used to reduce the size of audio files to a fraction of their original size (factor 1:10) with little loss of quality. You can estimate about 1 MB per minute as opposed to 10 MB for the original files. This value and the quality can vary depending on the complexity of the audio signal. The bit rate used can be used as a measure of quality. The higher the bit rate, the better the quality, but also the more memory required.
