BD-Writable Drives
Helpful Tips
l Use Microsoft®Windows®Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only after you start Roxio Creator and open a Creator project.
l Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a 650-MB file to a blank 650-MB CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1–2
MB of the blank space to finalize the recording.
l Use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos. CD-RWs do not play in most home or car stereos.
l Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3 software installed.
l Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recording techniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the
CD-RW and try again. You can also use blank CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the project permanently to a blank CD-R.
l You cannot create audio DVDs with Roxio Creator.
l Commercially available DVD players used in home theater systems may not support all available DVD formats. For a list of formats supported by your
DVD player, see the documentation provided with your DVD player or contact the manufacturer.
l Commercially available BD players used in home theater systems may not support all available BD formats. For a list of formats supported by your BD
player, see the documentation provided with your BD player or contact the manufacturer.
l See the Roxio website at www.sonic.com for additional information.
