RecordNow! cannot record in packet format.
You might not be able to use the “Exact Copy” function of RecordNow! to
back up a DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+R DL/+RW disc that was made
with other software on a different DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+RW
recorder.
If you add data to a DVD-R/-R DL and DVD+R/+R DL disc that you have
already recorded to, you might not be able to read the added data under some
circumstances. It cannot be read in 16-bit operating systems, such as Win-
dows 98 SE and Windows ME. In Windows NT 4, you will need Service
Pack 6 or later to read added data. In Windows 2000, you will need Service
Pack 2 or later to read it. Some DVD-ROM and CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives
cannot read added data regardless of the operating system.
RecordNow! does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs. To record to a
DVD-RAM, use Explorer or other utility.
When you back up a DVD disc, be sure the source drive supports recording
to DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+R DL/+RW discs. If the source drive
does not support recording to DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs, it might
not be backed up correctly.
When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW, be sure to
use the same type of disc.
You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW, DVD-RW or
DVD+RW disc.
