Very often, for work or for entertainment, it becomes necessary to record information on a DVD disc. The capacity of such a medium is almost 5 gigabytes, so you can put a movie in good quality, a video game, a large archive of music, images, etc. on it. With the help of special programs, this is easy to do, the main thing is to follow the instructions.
Necessary
- - a computer with a DVD burner;
- - installed program Nero;
- - blank DVD disc.
Instructions
Step 1
Place a blank disc in your drive and start Nero. Usually, when installing this software, a shortcut is automatically created on the desktop, and if it is not there, you can open it through the "Start" - "All Programs" menu.
Step 2
If you are using the version of Nero StartSmart, then at the top of the program window select the disc format - DVD (there are also options for CD and CD / DVD). In the version of Nero Burning ROM, select the type of DVD disc from the menu on the left and disable the multisession mode - it is designed to add additional data to the disc.
Step 3
After selecting the media type in the StartSmart window, you will be able to choose from the following options: "Copy DVD", "Create Photo Slideshow (DVD)", "Create DVD with Data". You need the last option. In the Burning ROM version, simply select "New" (meaning disc).
Step 4
After the above steps, in both versions, a computer navigation window will open with a separate field for the files selected for recording. You just need to drag and drop the necessary files into the recording field. At the bottom of the window there is a scale of the potential fullness of the disk. If the size of the files is too large for this medium, the program will warn you about this and will not allow you to start knowingly incorrect recording. If you've accidentally closed the navigation window, don't be alarmed. Go to the "View" menu and select the "View files" item, then the window will open again with all the files that you managed to drag into the record field.
Step 5
When you have selected the files you want, you can start recording. The process of burning a disc is called "burning" because the data is written to the disc in binary using a laser. Accordingly, click the disc and match icon, or select the "Start Burning" or "Start Burning" option. In the menu that appears, you can select the recording speed. If you are not sure about the quality of the media, then it is better to choose the slowest speed. Then press the "Start" button. Everything, the process has begun. A recording progress bar and a timer will appear in the program window. It is not recommended to stop the burning, so choose a time convenient for you so that there is no need to urgently turn off your computer.
Step 6
When the burn bar is full, the program will need another couple of minutes to finalize the disc. Then a window will appear with the message “Burning completed”. Then you can remove the disc from the DVD drive.
