Write

An important part of any copy process is the definition how the disc should be written. 

 

 

Below, you will find a brief overview of the individual functions. 

The Write Method

The selectable write methods depend on the writer and the driver system. More information about the methods can be found under ôThe Write Methodsö.

 

If you choose the Automatic option, the write method "Disc at Once" will be used. 

The Closing Method

This setting defines how the writing process is finished. More information about the methods can be found under ôThe Closing Methodsö.

 

The Automatic option uses "Close session" as the closing method.If you have selected Automatic or Disc at Once as the write method, then "Close CD" will be the only closing method available. 

Write Speed

This box displays all the available speeds for your drive. Normally InstantCopy selects the highest speed. However, sometimes it can be useful to work with a lower speed to decrease the performance demands on your system or to enhance the quality of the written disc. This possibility is particularly useful when reading from a CD-ROM, as here even small errors can lead to a significant deterioration in the reading speed. 

 

 

If you choose Automatic, then the write speed will be set to "High".If you have already inserted a disc into the drive, the possible write speeds for this medium will appear in the selection window. 

Write to hard disk first

Usually optical drives are not as fast as hard disks. Additionally CD-ROMs will decrease the reading speed if errors occur. This can cause write errors if the data is not delivered at the necessary speed.
