When you first start Disc Copier, it opens in the Simple mode as shown below. The main parts of the Disc Copier window in Simple mode are identified below.
Note: Disc Copier has two modes of operation, Simple and Advanced. Simple mode lets you quickly copy a disc. You choose your source and destination drives, insert your discs and copy. The Advanced mode has additional options for selecting and copying disc image files and DVD-Video folders. The Simple/Advanced button toggles between the two modes.
Copying A Disc Using Only One Drive
You can copy a disc even if you have only one drive, as long as that drive is also a recorder. You might want to do this for one of these reasons:
- You only have one recorder connected to your computer
- You want to minimize the possibility of a buffer underrun occurring
- You selected "Always cache" from the Options dialog box
Note: You must have enough free space on your hard disk to temporarily store the entire contents of your source disc.
Step 1: With Disc Copier open, insert the disc that you want to copy into your source drive.
Step 2: In the Source list, select the drive containing the source disc. (This may be selected by default.)
Step 3: In the Destination list, select the same drive that is selected for the source drive.
Note: If you only have one drive, this drive displays by default.
Step 4: Click the Copy button.
The Recording Progress dialog box appears, displaying the progress as the contents of the source disc are temporarily saved to your hard disk.
When Disc Copier is finished copying the contents of the source disc to your hard disk, the Insert Media dialog box appears.
Step 5: Remove the source disc from the drive, and replace it with a blank disc.
Step 6: If the blank destination disc has a faster write speed than the source disc, you can select a faster speed from the Write Speed drop-down list.
Step 7: When you are ready, click Continue Recording.
The Recording Progress dialog box appears once again, displaying the progress as the contents of the source disc are copied from your hard disk to the blank destination disc.
Copying A Disc Using Two Drives
This procedure explains the simplest way of copying a disc using a source drive and a destination recorder.
To copy a disc:
Step 1: With Disc Copier open, insert the disc you want to copy into your source drive.
Step 2: In the Source list, select the drive containing the source disc. (This may be selected by default.)
Step 3: In the Destination list, select the destination recorder that contains the blank disc.
Step 4: Click the Copy button. The Burn Progress dialog box appears, displaying the progress of the copy.
