CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc Image Recording Status with detailed status messages

The last dialog displayed for this process shows you the CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc recording status. You can switch between two settings for the display of the information. This is the default display setting.

1.	The Status Message box (1) keeps you informed about the current recording process.

2.	The Progress bar (2) will show you the progress of the current recording session.

Watch what happens, keeping an eye on the level of the Buffer Status (3) display at the bottom of the dialog box. If the display frequently drops down towards the left hand end of the bar (except at the end) you should probably reduce the write speed the next time you record the CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc. You should do a test if you plan to use your computer for other tasks while writing CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs

for example downloading files from the Internet. Start the write simulation (see the option Simulate recording before burning: at Write Options) and then keep an eye on the Buffer Status display while you are starting your other applications and work with them.

4.	Click on Hide details (4) if you want to switch back to the animated display.

After the recording process is successfully finished you have the following options. Just click on the appropriate item as shown below:

	Go to the main menu

	Go back This will bring you back to the project window where you can edit your playlist.

	Write same CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc again This will bring you back to the Write Options screen.

	Verify the CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc This is a useful feature if you want to be absolutely certain that the files on the disc are correct.
