Copy Disc

Warning: Ensure your hard drive has enough free space if you want to use an intermediate image. For DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disks copying, the file system on hard drive has to support files with sizes exceeding 4GB (JFS).

Warning: Copying of a multisession compact disk is impossible. If there is no necessity for creation of an exact disk copy, copy all files from compact disk to a hard disk and burn a new disk via Burn Files tool.

The management controls for disc copying are listed below:

• Source device
  Compact disk drive that contains the disk which needs to get copied. Use the button Select... located near by the device description to select the correct drive.

  Speed

  Allows to choose the reading speed of a compact disk. Writing/reading speed of compact disks is specified as a coefficient of the minimal speed for this type of media. The maximal speed (MAX) is an optimal choice in most cases. In case of errors during the reading of a compact disk it is possible to lower the read speed by using the button Select... near by the speed value.

  Eject disk after reading

  The media will be ejected from the drive after saving completion.

  Do not abort on errors

  Prevents the operation from aborting when an unrecoverable error is detected while reading the data stream.

  Retry count is

  Number of attempts to read block of data. Reading error will be generated passed this number.

• Intermediate image
  When copying a compact disk, its content is saved into an intermediate image which is used further for burning a new copy of the disk. For DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disk copying, the file system on hard drive has to support files with sizes exceeding 4GB (JFS).
  
  By default, the intermediate image file is stored in the system's temporary directory. Its location and name can be changed using the button Select..., located near by the intermediate image file's description.

  Delete image after copying

  Controls the deletion of the source disk's intermediate image of after completion of the copy operation. The image file is deleted by default. If this option is turned off, copying can be combined with compact disk image saving.

• Target device
  Recording device which will be used for burning the new disk. Use the button Select... located near by the device description to choose correct device. The same device can be used as the source and target. After the intermediate image of a compact disk has been saved, the user will be given the possibility to replace the media.

  Speed

  Allows to choose the writing speed of compact disk. Writing/reading speed of compact disks is specified as a coefficient of the minimal speed for this type of media. The maximal speed (MAX) is an optimal choice in most cases while using BURN-Free technology. In case of errors or if the computer is planned to be used during the burning of a compact disk, it is possible to lower the writing speed by using the button Select... near by the speed value.

  Verify media after burning

  After burning is complete reads a media content being burned to check the data is intact. It's handy to make sure you don't have bad media. Reports any errors detected (if any).

  Eject disk after copying

  The media will be ejected from the drive after burning completion.

• Copies
  Sets the number of copies required to be burned. The user will be prompted to change the media after each compact disk burning.
• Clone all disk data
  Copies all available data (including auxillary data) and the full table of content of a compact disk. This mode can be used to backup a "copy-protected" disk or a Video-CD.
  
  This option is ignored for the copy of an audio compact disk (this mode is described below).
  
  Warning: The cloning mode is only supported with CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW disks.

• Copy audio compact disk
  Copies all the tracks of an audio compact disk.
