CD-ROM

We will show you, step by step, how you use Nero to create and record a CD-ROM.

We will leave all the options with their default settings. For detailed information, please refer to the Reference Chapter in the manual. The manual is on the Nero-CD in the form of an Acrobat document.

Follow the instructions carefully. Good luck!

1.	Click on the CD-ROM icon in the New Compilation dialog window which opens after you start Nero. If you have already opened Nero, you can reach this dialog window through the icon for "New Compilation".

On the property sheets, the Multisession card is on the top.

2.	Now click on the New button at the right.

The corresponding blank compilation window for CD-ROM opens.

3.	Using drag&drop, compile the files for the CD by clicking on the desired files in the File Browser with the mouse and then dragging them into the compilation window.

If the File Browser has not yet been opened, you can do that now by entering the VIEW>New File Browser command or by clicking on the File Browser icon.

4.	Now open the Write dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on the Write CD icon in the toolbar. You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: it is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.

5.	You will see several boxes, some of which are already selected. Determine maximum speed and Simulate are already selected, and you may now also select Write.

If you wish to create a CD-ROM as a single session, you must click on the Finalize CD box. Do not click this box for a session of a multi-session CD, unless it is the last session. The CD is write-protected after this.

6.	Now you may confirm by clicking on the Write button. All of the selected steps will now be carried out in sequence including the burn process. So that you can follow exactly what is happening, a status window is displayed in which the individual steps are listed.

As a last step, you will see a message like "burn process was successful with 2x(300 KB/s)".

7.	Finally, the CD will be ejected.

8.	You may now check to see for yourself what was written onto your new CD by re-inserting the CD and clicking on the CD info icon.


Audio-CD

We will show you, step by step, how you use Nero to create and record an Audio-CD.

We will leave all the options with their default settings. For detailed information, please refer to the Reference Chapter in the manual. The manual is on the Nero-CD in the form of an Acrobat document.

Follow carefully the instructions. Good luck!

1.	Insert  in your recorder the original CD you want to extract audio tracks from.

2.	An important prerequisite for creating Audio CDs with Nero is that the music files are available in WAV format with 44.1 kHz and 16-bit stereo.

3.	If the  audio tracks you want to write to a CD are not in a Wav.format, please save them first into this format (see Saving audio tracks).

4.	Click on the Audio-CD icon in the New Compilation dialog window which opens after you start Nero. If you have already opened Nero, you can reach this dialog window through the icon for "New Compilation".

On the property sheets, the Audio-CD card is on the top.

5.	Now click on the New button at the right.

The corresponding blank compilation window for Audio CD opens.

6.	If the File Browser has not yet been opened, you can do that now by entering the VIEW>New File Browser command or by clicking on the File Browser icon.

7.	Using drag&drop, compile the files for the Audio CD by clicking on the desired files in the File Browser with the mouse and then dragging them into the compilation window.

8.	Now open the Write CD dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on the Write CD icon in the toolbar. You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: it is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.

You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: it is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.

10.	You will see several boxes, some of which are already selected. Determine maximum speed and Simulate are already selected.

Since an Audio-CD as defined by the Red Book Standard is always a single-session CD, the Finalize CD box is selected.

11.	Confirm by clicking on Write.

12.	Finally, the CD will be ejected.

13.	You may now check to see for yourself what was written onto your new CD by re-inserting the CD and clicking on the CD info icon.


Mixed-Mode CD

We will show you, step by step, how you use Nero to create and record a Mixed-Mode CD.

We will leave all the options with their default settings. For detailed information, please refer to the Reference Chapter in the manual. The manual is on the Nero-CD in the form of an Acrobat document.

Follow the instructions carefully. Good luck!

1.	Click on the Mixed-Mode icon in the New Compilation dialog window which opens after you start Nero. If you have already opened Nero, you can reach this dialog window through the icon for "New Compilation".

On the property sheets, the Multisession card is on the top.

2.	Now click on the New button at the right.

The corresponding blank compilation window for Mixed-Mode CD opens. This window combines the two windows, CD-ROM and Audio-CD, into one window with two separate sections.

3.	If the File Browser has not yet been opened, you can do that now by entering the VIEW>New File Browser command or by clicking on the File Browser icon.

4.	Click on the desired data files in the File Browser with the mouse and then drag them into the data section, in the upper part of the window. Do the same with the desired audio tracks but drag them into the audio section.

Important: the selected audio tracks must be in Wav.format. If they are not in this format, please save them first into this format and then drag them into your compilation from the File Browser (refer to Saving audio tracks).

5.	Now open the Write dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on the Write CD icon in the toolbar. You will then go to the Write CD dialog box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you: it is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation, only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.

Nero reads the original CD from the recorder and then creates and saves an image file, with the contents of your CD, to e.g. your hard disk. In a third step, Nero writes the image file onto a blank CD.

This gives you a very high reliability for copies, because you will be able to select options such as jitter correction (if a read error has been detected, Nero will automatically slow down the read process, and read again the audio track). These options could not be used, if you copy a CD on-the-fly from a CD-ROM drive!

This method of CD Copy has shown the highest reliablity of all different copy-methods: your CD will perform as expected!

To copy a CD, see CD-Copy step by step


CD-Copy step by step

We will show you, step by step, how you use Nero to copy a CD.

We will leave all the options with their default settings. For detailed information, please refer to the Reference Chapter in the manual. The manual is on the Nero-CD in the form of an Acrobat document.

Follow the instructions carefully. Good luck!

1.	Insert the original CD in your recorder (the source drive has to be your recorder). Nero allows you to copy CDs such as: Audio CDs, CD-ROM, Video CDs, and Mixed-Mode CDs. If your original CD is a Multisession CD or a blank disc, a message will be displayed and you will have to insert again a CD allowed by Nero.

2.	Click on the CD-Copy icon in the New Compilation dialog window which opens after you start Nero. If you have already opened Nero, you can reach this dialog window through the icon for "New Compilation".

On the property sheets, the Burn card is on the top.

Important: if you are missing the CD Copy icon, please make sure  that you have not chosen the image recorder and that the recorder has not been started after the operating system. Please start always your recorder before.

3.	By clicking on the CD Copy button, the Write CD dialog box will open..

4.	Now you may confirm by clicking on the Copy CD button. All of the selected steps will now be carried out in sequence including the burn process. So that you can follow exactly what is happening, a status window is displayed in which the individual steps are listed.

5.	When the read process of the original CD is finished, a message will be displayed: you have to insert now a blank CD in your recorder.

6.	As a last step, you will see a message like "burn process was successful with 2x(300 KB/s)".

7.	Finally, the CD will be ejected.

8.	You may now check to see for yourself what was written onto your new CD by re-inserting the CD and clicking on the CD info icon.


Saving audio tracks

An important prerequisite for creating Audio CDs with Nero is that the music files are available in WAV format with 44.1 kHz and 16-bit stereo.

1.	Insert an Audio CD in your recorder

2.	Now select the CD recorder>Save track menu

3.	All the information concerning your CD will be displayed in the Save track window: tracks, length,...

4.	Select the track you which to save as a Wav-file and press the Save as a wavfile button. The Save as window opens.

5.	Input now the name under which these sound files should be stored. Default is track + chosen track number (from window) and „.WAV“. You can choose another name. :WAV will be added by NERO

6.	After pressing the Save button, the Writing Wav file window opens. This window shows you the remaining time,  % completed and the succesful copy - or not.

7.	If you want to save more audio tracks as Wav.file, please repeat steps four through six, otherwise press the Cancel button.

8.	If the File Browser has not yet been opened, you can do that now by entering the VIEW>New File Browser command or by clicking on the File Browser icon.

Now you can create and burn your own Audio-CD.


Saving data tracks

The purpose of saving audio tracks into wave files is obvious. They can be used to create personal „best of“ Audio CDs. You can do the same with your data CDs.

In addition to audio tracks, Nero can store mode 1 data tracks. The result will be a Nero CD imagefile which can be burned afterwards. But what is this good for if the same effect can be achieved by copying files onto the harddisk and burning them later as an ISO compilation? Well, storing data tracks into an image file surely makes sense because it has some advantages compared with the more „traditional“ method of copying files and burning them as an ISO compilation:

1.	You can store data tracks containing another file system other than the PC ISO standard For example they could be Apple Macintosh HFS tracks or the so called „Hybrid CDs“ containing HFS and ISO data in a single track! The Macintosh information would be lost forever if files were burned as an ISO compilation. Saving the track and burning the resulting image file preserves all this additional data! The same argument is true for the „Apple ISO Extensions“ or the „Rockridge ISO Extensions“!

2.	The Nero image files created by the command Save track can be burned on non-empty CDs. Furthermore the CDs don´t have to be fixated after burning! Both mentioned advantages together make it possible to create a single CD containing all the information of several „almost empty“ CDs (containing only some megabytes of data). Taking a look at some „silver CDs“ containing PC or Apple Macintosh software will show you, that most „silver“ CD ROMs are more or less „empy“ taking account of the fact that up to 640MB can be stored on a standard CD ROM. So why not combining several CDs on one writable „golden CD“? Each „Sub-CD“ (or track) can be accessed easily from Windows through Nero Multi Mounter.

If you want to create such a „multivolume CD“ save all desired CDs as a Nero CD image file using the menu command Save track. Then burn them one by one onto a writable CD. Those multivolume CDs also have further important advantages compared with the CDs created by the „traditional“ method of copying CDs into folders and burning them all together as a single ISO compilation: There won´t be any file name collisions concerning the famous „Autorun.Inf“ and „Setup.exe“ files and even those installers relying on a special volume name will do their job perfectly!

3.	You possibly can copy multisession CDs which Nero normally can´t copy! The procedure is straightforward: copy all tracks into Nero image files using the method mentioned in point 2) of this text. Then burn them on an empty CD. Unfortunately there is a restriction for this method of copying multisession CDs: Those tracks containing links to other tracks may not be stored into a Nero CD image! The reason for this restriction is the fact, that images created from linked multisession tracks would not contain all referenced files and folders! So if you tried to burn such a track onto a different CD, everything would appear to be in perfect order until the very moment when you tried to read one of those files not contained in the original CD track. The result would be just read errors or junk data because the present track link would refer to some CD sector. To avoid these rather disastrous consequences storing of linked multisession tracks is generally prohibited in Nero.

Some information concerning the implementation of the Save track command in Nero: As a first step Nero tries to analyze the data track to gather information about the file system stored in the selected data track. Then, all CD sectors from this track are written into the Nero CD image file. Finally, the image file is processed to allow this image to be written onto a non-empty CD. For the experts among the Nero users: An ISO filesystem must be relocated if it is to be burned onto a different (non-zero) start sector of a CD. But don´t be afraid. Nero will do all this „dirty work“ for you.

Important Note:

Nero can store ISO, Joliet, Macintosh HFS- and Hybrid (which is ISO and HFS) CD tracks into an image file. But if the image file (that is to say the original CD track) contains a different file system unknown to Nero (like native Unix filesystems or others) the result of burning this image onto a non-empty CD may be corrupted data. If it works or not depends on the kind of file system stored in the data track. For some file systems this might work and for others the result will just be corrupted data. But you can be sure to get correct results if the track contains one of the mentioned file systems: ISO, Joliet, HFS or Hybrid. Almost every available CD for PC or Apple Macintosh is created using these file systems. By the way: the kind of track is displayed in the track list dialog appearing after selecting the menu command Save track. If the track is showm as „Data mode 1“ without any further information, then Nero won´t be able to give any guaranties about the resulting CD. But Nero leaves you the freedom to decide whether you want to store those unknown tracks into a Nero image or not. Only an alert box is displayed to remind you of the risk.


Nero Multi Mounter

The Nero Multi Mounter, available for Win 95 und Win NT4.0, allows you to view ALL the sessions and to access ALL the files recorded on your Multisession CD!

The Nero Multi Mounter is automatically installed with the installation of Nero.

How to use the Nero Multi Mounter?

1.	Insert your Multisession CD into your CD-ROM drive or your recorder.

2.	Go to the Explorer and select the drive in which you put the CD.

3.	Select properties either through the menu File/properties or by using the right mouse button. Then you will see two or more property sheets one of which is the volumes sheet.

4.	Select the volumes property sheet. You can see now all the sessions listed that have been burned onto the CD.

5.	Click on the session you want to be displayed, then return to the Explorer. You can see now the contents of the selected session and select a file.


Nero general questions

1.	Does Nero burn on-the-fly?

2.	How do I create a CD Image?

3.	Although I created a Multisession disc I can only see the last session. Why?

4.	After entering the serial number, I cannot get Nero installed . What is happening?

5.	Nero supports CD Copy. Can I use my CD ROM drive to make a direct copy to my CD recorder?

6.	The "CD Copy" icon does not appear in the window "new compilation".

7.	I can't select another language other than english.


Yes, Nero automatically uses on-the-fly burning


To create a CD-image we use the so-called "image recorder". You select this recorder in the menu CD Recorder>recorder selection. As a result, your files will be written into an image file and not directly to the recorder. To burn this image go to the menu File>Burn image. Remenber that you need enough free space on the chosen volume to save the full image.


If your CD Recorder supports multisession, you can only read the last session of your CD on Windows 95 and NT 4.0 and the first session on Windows 3.1x.

Nero gives you the solution: in Windows 95 and NT 4.0, you can use the Nero Multi Mounter to switch to any other session of your Multisession CD.

Please see also Nero Multi Mounter.


You most likely have a demo version of Nero installed, of which the time has expired. Please contact us for a new demo.


You can't copy a CD with Nero, if your source drive is a CD ROM drive. The source drive has to be the recorder.

Nero will read the original CD from the recorder and will create and save an image file with the contents of your CD. In a third step, Nero will write the image file onto a blank CD.

This gives you a very high reliablility for copies and offers you the possibility to copy e.g. Mixed-Mode CDs. In addition, you can activate options such as jitter correction, which could not be done on-the-fly from a CD-ROM drive.

We chose this method because it has shown the highest reliability of all different copy-methods.


If you are missing the CD Copy icon, please make sure that you have not chosen the image recorder.

Other possiblility: you may have booted your system without powering-on your recorder first. Please always power-on your recorder before booting your operating system.


Nero (version 2.0) provides three languages: english, german and french.

If you can only select one language in the Language property sheet, please reinstall Nero and follow carefully the instructions as they appear. You will then have the option to select all languages supported by Nero.

Here you input the name under which these sound files should be stored. Default is track + chosen track number (from window) and „.WAV“. You can choose another name. :WAV will be added by NERO. If you save your Audio files the following windows will show you the remaining time,  % completed and the succesful copy - or not.   *B2.32*


Burning your compilation

On this property sheet you find all steps of the burn process:

- the test on access speed

- a simulation of the burn process, and

- the burn process itself

- and the finalization of the CD.

Also you can set cache options for Nero to optimize the write speed.

Details about the steps are displayed in their associated help. If you want to copy a CD there are naturally no features to modify. *D1.0*


This speed test accesses the files and folders of your compilation and finds the slowest source speed.  If the default write speed of the recorder is faster than the determined slowest source speed, the recording speed will be automatically adjusted to the lower value.   *D1.1*


Here you choose the steps you would like to run one after the other until the final write and finalize step. You can also run the steps one by one, but we rather recommend to run them in a row. Only then the next step will take over the results of the last step.

Example: You run the speed test and the simulation, the determined speed is 2x. At a later point you run the write step separately without running the other two steps (speed test and simulation) again. In this case the default write speed of the recorder will be used, and this might in many cases be a faster one than the determined speed. It is very likely that this write process leads into a buffer underrun.   *D1.12*


The simulation does a check on several technical aspects of the CD burning process, e.g. if the CD is ready, already finalized etc. The complete burn process is simulated. the only difference to the read time burn process is that the laser is turned off. The simulation won't change the CD.   *D1.2*


If the simulation ran successfully and you checked the box for Write, the CD will be written (actually ‘burned’) with the same speed. If you want to copy a CD it will finalized automatically. *D1.3*


If you check this box as well, the CD will be finalized, i.e. you can’t write further sessions onto this CD. If you want to copy a CD it will finalized automatically. *D1.4*


Here you can change the write speed. But normally you should run the speed test and a simulation before actually writing the CD, so you get the right speed put into this field automatically. If you have renounced these prior tests, the maximum possible write speed of the recorder is put into this field as default.

! Once as speed has been tested successfully you should not change it to a faster value as this might lead into errors.   *D1.5*


The maximum possible write speed of the recorder is put into this field as default. You can change this write speed.

Normally you should run the speed test and a simulation before actually burning the CD, so you get the right speed put into this field automatically. If you renounced these prior tests the maximum possible write speed of the recorder is kept in this field as default.

! Once a speed has been tested successfully you should not change it to a faster value as this might lead into errors.   *D1.7*


If you enter a number other than 1 the compilation will be written to that number of CDs. You have to insert one CD after the other.   *D1.6*


If you enter a number other than 1 the compilation will be written to that number of CDs. You have to insert one CD after the other.   *D1.8*


These options provide the use of a cache for critical files and folders to ensure a constant flow of data during the write process. If you select one or both of these options the files concerned will be put to a cache before the other steps of the write process start.

In the Nero PREFERENCES on the property sheet Cache you can define which drive you wish to utilize for caching. If you want to copy a CD there are naturally no options to modify.   *D1.13*


If your compilation contains files or folders from a slow network or on the floppy disk it is useful to write these files to a cache. If you select this option these files will be put to a cache before the other steps of the write process start.

In the Nero PREFERENCES on the property sheet Cache you can define which drive you wish to utilize for caching. If you want to copy a CD there are naturally no options to modify  *D1.9*


The default for this option is set to ON, because this cache is very likely to speed up your write process and makes it more secure.

In the Nero PREFERENCES on the property sheet Cache you can define which drive you wish to utilize for caching. If you want to copy a CD there are naturally no options to modify  *D1.10*


If your compilation contains lots of small files the access time will probably be much longer than with a few bigger files. Therefore we recommend that you use this cache for small files up to a certain size to increase the chances of a continuos write process. If you select this option these files will be put to a cache before the other steps of the write process start. If you want to copy a CD there are naturally no options to modify  *D1.11*

This dialogue New Compilation consists of three main parts:

On the left side you select the type of CD you want to burn, e.g.

a CD-ROM
an Audio-CD or
a CD-Copy.

In the middle part the upmost property sheet is about dataoptions, relating to the type of CD you selected. All these options can be modified at a later stage if necessary. (For your information: In the copy-mode there are naturally no options.)

On the right side you can confirm your selection/s by

using „New“ or
using „Enter“ or
using „CD-Copy“ or
using „Cancel“ or
using „Open“ at an already existing compilation.
(Open is naturally not possible at „CD-Copy“ because all the items of the original-CD will be copied.....).   *D3.16*


On the left box you select the type of CD you want to burn, e.g.

•     a CD-ROM (ISO)or
•    an Audio-CD or

•    a Mixed Mode CD or
•    a CD-Copy with Mixed Mode CDs, Video CDs, Audio CD, CD-ROM

„CD-Copy“ copies all informations without possibility of changing any data.

! An indication to the „copyright“ will appear if data are protected.
      In this case it is only allowed to copy these data for your own.

If you are missing the copy icon in the box "new compilation" you have to choose your real recorder - but not the image recorder. Please start your recorder everytime before starting Windows.

You see different document types here:

- if you are in the FILE> NEW dialogue
you can select whether you would like to create an CD-ROM or an Audio-CD

- if you are in the FILE> COMPILATION INFO dialogue or

- if you are in the FILE> WRITE CD dialogue
you see the icon for the chosen CD-format of your compilation

- if you are in the FILE> BURN IMAGE dialogue
the icon for CD-Image is displayed.    *D3.17*


This button can have two different values:

If it says Open you leave this dialogue and the Open Dialogue will prompt you to select an already existing compilation.

If it says CD-Info you are in Burn CD Dialogue. At this stage it might be interesting to check your inserted CD again. Press CD-Info and you get to the CD-Info Dialogue.    *D3.18*


Volume Descriptor

Most of this section is for advanced users.

The volume label is the only value that is a must. All others are optional and therefore left blank as default.

You can save information about the CD (respective session) that will be saved in the volume descriptor. The volume descriptor is found on the beginning of each session and contains the datastructure and other optional information like publisher, a copyright note etc.

The volume descriptor uses special charactersets that are defined in the ISO 9660 Standard. ISO 9660 is the international standard for the logical data structure on a CD-ROM. ISO 9660 defines amongst other things the allowed charactersets:

• The a-characters comprise

capital letters from A to Z,

digits from  0 to 9, and

the following special characters: "&!%´)(=*+,-/:;><?_. (blank)

• The d-characters comprise

capital letters from A to Z,

digits from  0 to 9, and

the special character _ (underscore)

You find more information about charactersets in the Nero-manual.   *D2.0*


Volume label of the CD (respective session)

If you start a new compilation the default value is New.

You should change this name as it is used in the compilation Info and later on the CD as its name. Maximal length is 32 characters of the d-characterset.

The d-characters comprise capital letters from A to Z, digits from  0 to 9, and the special character _ (underscore).

! Should you change the characterset at a later stage it is possible that some characters get converted (e.g. the German Umlaut Ä will be converted to AE), resulting in a longer filename that possibly exceeds the allowed length according to the ISO Standard.
In this case the rule is: The first four characters remains untouched. Starting from the fifth character the amount of characters that exceed the allowed length will be cut out. E.g. a conversion of the filename börning_rom.txt in ISO level 1 results in BOER_ROM.TXT.   *D2.17*

The property sheet Data Options contains three main parts:

- In the first part you select the ISO 9660 Standard Level (1 or 2)

- in the middle part you can choose a characterset other than only ISO.

- the third part offers some options to allow some relaxation of the strict ISO standard rules.   *D4.0*


In File- and Directorynames Length you choose the ISO 9660 Standard Level to be used for this CD.

ISO Level 1 allows only 8+3 characters in uppercase for a filename. The only special character allowed is underscore ( _ ). Directory names may not include extensions.

Default is Level 2 that allows a maximum of 31 characters.

Nero converts all files and folders automatically according to this selection.   *D4.5*


ISO Level 1 restricts:

- the directory name to max. 8 characters

- the filenames to max.  8 characters followed by a period and an extension with 3 characters (8+3 rule).

Consider if you use Windows 3.x or DOS. In this case we recommend to select this level. If you use Windows 95, Level 2 gives you better possibilities.

But in the end it always depends on the host that will run the CD.   *D4.1*


ISO Level 2 allows

- max. 31 characters for the directory name as well as the filename.

Consider if you use Windows 95. In this case we recommend to select this level. If you use Windows 3.x or DOS, you rather select Level 1.

But in the end it always depends on the host that will run the CD.   *D4.2*


Select a characterset.

In addition to the ISO 9660 possibilities Nero allows ASCII and DOS. If you select DOS you get e.g. the special language characters like the German Umlaut. For more detailed information please refer to the manual.  *D4.10*


The default selection for a characterset is ISO 9660.   *D4.3*


If you wish to use the DOS characterset please click here. For more detailed information please refer to the manual.   *D4.4*


If you wish to use the ASCII characterset please click here. For more detailed information please refer to the manual.   *D4.7*


If the Microsoft defined "Joliet" (only for Windows NT and Windows 95!, -other operating systems (e.g. MAC) are not in the position to use it ) is activated, second parallel complete directory structure in UNICODE is created. It is  important to know the receiver of the CD. In "Joliet", file and directory names are allowed up to 64 characters long. There are no restructions in directory depth, the typeface is extended. (The (first) ISO 9660 directory structure is created according to the ISO-9660-Standard. In the case that no Joliet rule is applicable, the ISO-9660-Standard takes precedence. For exact Joliet information see: Joliet CD-ROM Recording Specification/ISO 9660:1988, Extension for UNICODE, Version 1, May 22, 1995. Contact address: Microsoft Developer Relations Group.   *D4.11*


You can relax the strict ISO standard for the pathdepth.

This will increase the speed of the complete burn process, but your compilation won’t be tested whether it meets the standard. For more information regarding this checkbox refer to the manual.   *D4.6*


Allow a pathdepth of more than 8 levels. If you don’t select this option, the maximum of 8 levels (according to the ISO Standard) will be used. You can check on your pathdepths and levels of hierarchy with the Nero File Browser or the Explorer.

! Only if you don’t selected this option your data will be checked. In case of more than 8 levels you will be prompted for further actions.   *D4.8*


Allow more than 255 characters in a filename including its path. If you don’t select this option, the maximum of 255 characters (according to the ISO Standard) will be used. You can check on your filename with the Nero File Browser or the Explorer.

! Only if you don’t select this option your data will be checked. In case of more than 255 characters you will be prompted for further actions.   *D4.9*


What’s the status of your burn process?

This dialogue appears after you have selected and confirmed the actions on the Write CD dialogue.

Depending on the selections made in the middle part you see a listbox showing the status of all steps and their results. The %-bar tells you the progress of the active step..   *D5.1*


You can cancel the process by clicking on Cancel.

The actual burn process is excluded from this possibility, as we don’t want you to ruin your CD by interrupting a already started burn process.

The pathdepthtest checks your compilation whether

- it has more than the allowed 8 levels of the ISO 9660 standard, or whether

- it has more than 255 characters in a filename including the path.

You will be prompted for further action according to the options you choose.   *P0*


Explanation for the path test.   *P1*


This listbox displays a path (or more) that either

- has more than the allowed 8 levels or

- has more than 255 characters in a filename including the path.   *P2*


The result of the pathtest is, that one of the two cases was found in the hierarchy of your compilation.

If you don’t want to allow a relaxation of the ISO 9660 Standard you have to click on this option. The process will then be stopped here to give you the opportunity to rearrange your data.   *P3*


If you agree to relax the ISO 9660 Standard in this case press this button.  The chosen process will be continued.   *P4*


Nero tests the system option Auto insert notification which automatically notifies you if you change/insert a CD. If this option is active we suggest to turn it off, as a notification during the burn process will very likely cause an interrupt on the data flow to the CD-writer, which might lead into a ruined CD.   *I1*


Please follow the information on the screen.   *I3*

Here we would like to give you some historical information about Nero, and the ‘burning’ Coliseum of Rome, which you see as our program icon :

It is important for us to mention that Nero who was emperor from 54 - 68 AD, according to our historians, has most likely not burned Rome but was accused for it in 64.

The Coliseum has not existed at his time because it was built 72 - 82 AD. It is also not known whether it has ever been burned down.

But somehow it is public opinion that Nero had something to do with burning Rome, and the Coliseum is only in very few cases known as a symbol for Paris or Ittersbach, so... ·     *L2*

You may use the writing mode "multisession", for example for incremental backups. A multisession CD allows files and folders not only to be recorded in different sessions at different times, until the CD is full, but also to be appended, deleted, and rewriten only if they have been changed.

If all the options in this property sheet are disabled, please make sure that you have not chosen the image recorder or that your recorder has been turned on before starting the operating system.

This property sheet contains two main parts

- in the first part you define if you want to create a new multisession CD, to add new sessions to your CD or simply write a CD-ROM (ISO).

- in the second part you can activate options for your compilation.

You may leave all the options with their default settings. Confirm your selection by clicking on the New button. The Select track window will open. *G11*


Please select this option, if you want to create a multisession CD from a blank disc or from a CD you have already started to record. In this case, the resulting CD will be a ISO CD with additional multisession information.*G12*


If you have already started recording a multisession CD and just want to continue the disc, please select this option. You may now activate the options of the second part of this property sheet to define whether files and folders should be added, deleted or replaced during the automatic refresh.*G13*


If you just want to record a ISO CD-ROM, please select this option. *G14*


Nero will replace the files existing on your CD, depending on which options you have activated: archive bit set, file date or length, or file content. *G15*


Each file has, under Windows, an archive bit, which is set by the operating system, if a file has been changed or modified. This bit is used by backup programms, which set the archive bit of a file to zero (0) each time it has been saved. If you activate the "archive bit" option , Nero will do the same. Therefore, this option is meaningful if you also use a backup programm.*G18*


Nero will only replace the files of which date or length have been modified.*G16*


This option is designed to compare, byte for byte, all the files recorded on your CD with the files in your operating system. Nero will automatically replace files if some differences have been detected. You may use this option if, for example, your computer displays an incorrect time.

Since every file will be read byte for byte, corrupted files on your CD will be also detected by Nero and replaced.*G17*


All the files and folders will be replaced, no matter if they have been changed or not. Since all files and folders will be physically rewriten, you may improve the reliablity of your backup. Disadvantage: you will loose space on your disc. However, from time to time, it might be useful to replace all files and folders.*G18*


If you activate the option, Nero will "delete" on your CD, files that don't exist anymore on your hard disc. They have been probably deleted since your last session. The pointer to these files's address will simply not be included in the directory of your new session: they seem to be erased. Only by using the Nero Multi Mounter you will be able to access them again, if you ever need them.*G19*


This option allows you to add, in your new session, files that have been recorded to your hard disc since your last session.*G20*


When activating this option, Nero will automatically display a dialog box with the refresh options before refreshing the compilation. *G21*


If you click on this option, your CD will be written with disc -at-once. If this option is not activated the CD will be recorded with with track-at-once.

For formats like Audio-CD, disc-at-once is more logical, since unnecessary pauses or "clicks" can be avoided. Track-at-once is generally used for multisession and ISO CDs.  *G22*


Here you can define the writing method. You have the choice between disc-at-once or track-at-once, depending on recorder capabilities. Please see recorder specific notes.

With disc-at-once the entire CD is written in one procedure, which allows more freedom for the recording software, but at the same time prevents subsequent modifications. For formats like Audio-CD, disc-at-once is more logical, since unnecessary pauses can be avoided. Disc-at-once is also recommended for master CDs which will be manufactured.

With track-at-once every track is written separately allowing the CD to be recorded in several sessions at a later time, until the CD is full. Therefore, pauses are unavoidably created between the tracks. You may be able to modifie the pause lengh, though. It depends on recorder capabilities. Track-at-once is generally used for multisession and ISO CDs.


Please select the track that contains the files and folders you whish to back up. It will normally be the last ISO track.

Confirm your selection by clicking on OK. The Multisession compilation window will open and will show the contents of the track you have just selected.

Important: Nero allows you to continue a multisession CD only, if all previous sessions have been recorded with Nero. If not, you will encounter an error message by confirming your track selection. *G23*


Here you can set options concerning the treatment of errors that might occure during the read process. *G24*


If Nero finds some read errors, how many times do you want Nero to read the CD, before giving up and treating the sectors as defect? Please enter a number between 1 and 5. *G25*


Nero will ignore unreadable data, and continue the read process. All the tracks will then be faithfully reproduced.


Nero will detect reading errors that might be caused by your recorder. Such errors might occur, for example, when audio data are not read by the recorder from the expected position. The results would then be a CD that does not perform well. *G26*


When Nero detects an error, the audio track will be rewound and read again. The reading process will slow down. This is the most reliable method to correct errors. *G27*


If you select this option, Nero will slow down the reading process only from the error's position. *G28*


Additional information like index positions will be provided during the read process. Audio indexes are required to determine the exact end of an audio track.

If this option is not checked, your Mixed-Mode  or Audio CD will be copied without any audio index positions. The audio tracks might be then stored on the CD with pauses in between. Therefore, we recommend not to select this option, if you want to copy a live CD.

If this option is checked, the index pauses will be also copied. The read process might be slower, depending on the recorder. *G29*


All the options will be displayed with their default settings. If you have activated some options and are not sure you were right, please click on the Set default button. *G30*


Here you can set advanced options for the correction of errors that might occure during the read process of an Audio- CD or an Audio track. *G31*

If you select the keep on reading option, Nero will slow down the reading process only from the error's position. This is the faster method but the less reliable method to correct errors.

If you select the rewind and read again option, Nero will rewind and read the audio track again. The second reading process will automatically be slower. This is the most reliable method to correct errors. *G45*


By executing CD Copy, Nero will read the original CD and save the contents to an image file . In a next step, the image file will be written to the CD.

Here you can choose which drive the image file should be written to. *G46*


Here you can choose which drive the image file should be written to.

Don't forget, that you need as much space for the image file as the total size of the tracks of the original CD. Depending on the CD, you might need up to 700 MB! *G47*


Don't select this option, if you want to create the same CD at a later time. The original CD will not be necessary anymore. You can use the same image file. *G49*

To correct read errors Nero uses a two step method: While reading audio tracks Nero will check, if the audio data is continous. If a discontinuity is detected, Nero will read the corresponding blocks again. Then Nero tries to find matching audio blocks from previous and current audio data. If matching audio blocks can be found, these blocks are written to the CD.

The details of the algorithm to detect discontinouities are as follows: Nero calculates a (linear) prediction for the audio data to come. Afterwards Nero compares the audio data with it«s previous prediction. The difference between expected and detected audio data is then compared with a threshold, which can be entered in the dialog field Tolerance for continuity. Audio samples may have values from -32768 up to 32767 (for 16 bit samples). Therefore the maximum threshold is 65336. The precision of the linear prediction is determined by the number of input samples Number of samples and the number of prediction coefficients Number of coefficients. The number of input samples must be greater than the number of coefficients.


If the first step of the jitter correction detects a discontinuity, then the second step is to try to correct the error. Nero will reread audio data before trying to find matching sectors by calculating the correlation between the audio samples. A high correlation means, that both sectors have „something in common“. A correlation of 1.0 indicates a perfect match. Nero again uses a threshold to determine if two sectors should be treated as identical. You can enter the treshold as percent in the dialog field Correlation tolerance. Again 100% indicates a perfect match.


The precision of the linear prediction is determined by the number of input samples (Number of samples) and the number of prediction coefficients (Number of coefficients). The number of input samples must be greater than the number of coefficients.

Because these options can change the way Nero corrects audio data, modifications should only be done by an experienced user.

If you have made some changes and you are not sure, please press on the Set default button and you will get the default settings suggested by Nero.


This property page allows the definition of additional audio index positions. These audio index positions are recognized only by some (high quality) audio CD players and allow jumping to a defined position within an audio track. Note: The Windows 95 and NT audio CD player applications won´t be able to access audio index positions!

Note: The Windows 95 and NT Audio CD Player applications are unable to access audio index positions.


The oscilloscope style display can be used to watch audio data in a graphical style. Both stereo channels are shown as well as the current position within the audio track displayed as MSF (minutes, seconds and frames; one frame equals
1/75 of a second). Index positions are shown as red vertical bars. They can be created using the button New index. The right mouse button can be used to switch horizontal zooming.


This list shows the currently defined audio index positions. If you select an index position then the oscilloscope style display will show the corresponding audio samples. The selected audio index will be deleted if Delete index is clicked and it will be changed if Edit index is clicked. If you choose the Play button, then playing will start at this position.


The button New index can be used to create new audio index positions.

Notes:

Audio index positions are only supported by some recorders when in writing ‘track at once’ mode. If an audio compilation is burned as ‘disc at once’ then the audio index positions will definitively be written on CD.

Only some (high quality) audio CD players will be able to access additional audio index positions. The Windows 95 and NT audio CD player applications can not access audio index positions!


This button starts playing the audio track from the currently selected audio index position. It will stop playing at the next index position or at the end of the audio track. Of course playing is possible only if you have a sound card.


This button allows editing of audio index positions as numerical values (MSF: minutes, seconds and frames; one frame equals 1/75 of a second).


This button will stop any audio playback.


The button Delete index permanently deletes the currently selected audio index position.
