Using a recordable drive
You can use your CD-RW, DVD/CD-RW, or DVD/DVD-RAM/DVD-R/CD-RW
drive to create data CDs, music CDs, or copies of CDs. You can use your
DVD-RAM/DVD-R or DVD/DVD-RAM/DVD-R/CD-RW drive to create data
DVDs. For more information about your drive’s capabilities, see “Identifying
drive types” on page 32.
Creating data CDs and DVDs
Use Roxio Easy CD Creator to create data CDs and DVDs. Data CDs and DVDs
are ideal for backing up important files such as tax records, letters, MP3s, digital
movies, or photos. For information on creating music CDs, see “Creating music
CDs” on page 41.
Use your movie creator software to create video DVDs. For more information
about using the movie creator software that came with your computer, see its
online help.
Important We recommend that you do not use your computer for
other tasks while creating CDs or DVDs.
Important If you record copyrighted material on a CD or DVD, you
need permission from the copyright owner. Otherwise, you
may be violating copyright law and be subject to payment
of damages and other remedies. If you are uncertain about
your rights, contact your legal advisor.
