What you must have a user to successfully implement the recording optical discs of various types in the program Nero burning rom? 1. First we need a computer - well, how did without him? And for the record you could theoretically be enough of an ancient iron processor with a frequency of 200 MHz and 32 MB of RAM. However, these figures are the minimum acceptable. However, you do not need to worry: all computers made in the last 5-7 years, without problems to cope with record. Also do not forget that for a CD-ROM you will need additional space on the hard drive. To record a CD - is 700-900 MB depending on the type of disc (to create an image - an intermediate model of the disc - twice), recordable DVD you'll need 4. 5 or 9 GB, depending on the type of disc - single or double - and the use of the image as twice. 2. Operating System (OS) - to run modern software CD burner you need at least Windows 98/ME, since the latest versions of these programs will not run on Windows 95. We recommend using Windows 2000/XP/Vista. 3. Drive CD-RW or DVD-RW - one computer will be not enough, you should have a basic tool records - he drive CD-RW (DVD-RW). DVD-RW drive can record anything - and the CD and DVD, a CD-RW - only CD. Sales there are still so-called combo drive (combo) - a combo drive CD-RW/DVD, who can read and write standard CD-ROMs, and DVD-drives can only read. 4. Wheels - without them, not on what will be recorded. If the drive can record different data - documents, pictures, music, movies. Today, empty disks can be found on sale in any stores - in packages and individually. Disks are different: - CD-Recordable or CD-R (write-once discs) - on the drive you can record the information only once (in the best case, you can append information to the end of the disk, but to erase and write the disc again, you can not). - CD-Rewritable, or CD-RW (rewritable disks or rewritable discs) - so you can overwrite the disk, ie, wash it with the information and record other information. Working with these discs is as follows: recorded, cleaned, recorded other information, cleaned, again recorded and up until you either run the resource disc. - DVD-R (DVD + R) - "disposable" DVD-drives: as in the case of CD-R, you can burn a disc only once, to erase the recorded information, you can not. On the differences between DVD-R to DVD + R, we will discuss later. - DVD-RW (DVD + RW) - DVD-rewritable drives. Disks with write-once popularly known as "blanks". When buying a CD, consider the following properties: the write speed and capacity. Conventional CD-R problems you will not - almost all of them can burn 700 MB of information with a maximum speed of 48x or 52x. But with CD-RW somewhat different situation: you can sell a rewritable disc capacity of 650 MB, which can only write at a speed of 4x. On this disc even zapishesh a normal film does not, and if it succeeds, it will be written for very long (about 20 minutes). First, buy a few rewritable (DVD) CD-RW discs. If something goes wrong, at least you'll be able to overwrite them, and verbs that are spoiled with the unsuccessful attempts to record, you have to throw away. When you have learned (after recording three to five disks), you can use regular (DVD) CD-R. 5. Software (software) for recording CD / DVD. In principle, if you are using Windows XP / Vista, is in itself already has built-in recording. However, they are quite flawed and can only burn CD-R (single-use CD-ROMs). Therefore it is strongly recommended for these purposes to use special software. Most preferred above all others is the program Nero, one of the best and functionality of its kind. You can always download the nero at the manufacturer's web site, or any other Internet resources.
