3. Now you know the information of CD and DVD. Let me give you an example of working on CDBurnerXP pro.

This program can write CD and DVD. Insert blank CD-RW and go to desktop then open shortcut of the program.

Program opens, New Compilation windows shows 3 options.
1. Working on Data CD/RW, DATA DVD/RW and ISO image file
2. Working on Audio CD
3. Ripping Audio CD

Select option number 1, new window opens.

In the picture above,

number 2 : set to joliet for long file name.
number 3 : name CD by clicking New_Compilation and pressing F2.
number 4 : select Drive to find file you want to write then drag and drop at CD Name, file name will show at Number 3 area.

Make sure number 5 area stays green, that means you have enough space on CD.

4. Now you have files waiting to be written, click menu Disc > Write Disc...

New window opens, set important value.

Writing speed : slow but sure, I recommend 4x for CD, 1x for DVD.
Finalize disc : I recommend not to check this check box if next time you want to write this CD without losing your previous written data.

Automatically shut down the PC when done : I love this feature so much. When writing completed, PC will be shut down automatically.
Before using this feature, you should do the following things.
  • Uncheck Eject the disc after writing finished check box.
  • Close all programs except CDBurner XP Pro 3.
Then click Write Disc, wait until it's done.
Confirmation of success opens, click OK > Done.
Close program by pressing Alt and F4 on keyboard, the message asks to save layout, click No.

5. Now you have data written on CD, insert this CD then open CDBurner XP Pro 3. Select option 1, program will ask what you want to do between Continue Disc and Don't Continue Disc

Why does program ask ? Because CD contains Data and CD is not finalized.

Select Continue Disc and follow the writing process as usual.
