The DVD Writer/CD Writer is a multipurpose

rewriteable optical drive that can read audio,

data, and video files and can record them (burn)

to both CDs and DVDs.

This DVD Writer/CD Writer drive enables you to:

can be recorded onto DVDs or CDs.

■ Create DVDs and VCDs that can be played

on most DVD-ROM drives and some home

DVD players.

■ Create music CDs.

■ Record directly to a DVD or CD from a digital

or an analog video source, such as a digital

video camera, a TV tuner, or a VCR.

Note: Your PC must have an analog capture card to

capture video from an analog device such as

a VCR.

■ Store, edit, and preserve video files from

various video sources.

■ Store large amounts of data.

■ Play DVD movies and music CDs.

■ Read data DVDs and CDs.

recording uses a laser beam to place information

About creating a music CD

Important: HP supports lawful use of technology and

does not endorse or encourage the use of our

products for purposes other than those permitted

by national copyright law.

When recording music files, it is important to

note that:

■ In order to play your music CD in a home

or car stereo, it needs to be recorded as a

music CD in CD Audio (CDA) format, not

as a data CD.

■ You must record all music files in one

recording session because RecordNow closes

the CD after recording is complete. Music files

can be recorded repeatedly on a rewriteable

(CD-RW) disc, but all previously recorded

music files must be erased first.

Revision #: 24 Page: 5 of 42 Printed: 04/07/03 10:08 AM

■ As you add music files in the recording

session, RecordNow calculates and displays

the amount of recording time available to

record additional music files.

■ You can’t record song titles unless you make

an exact copy of a music CD in your

collection.

■ If you try to record more than a standard CD

can hold, RecordNow displays a message

warning you that it may not fit on your disc.

Storing Files on a DVD or CD

Unlike music CDs, data DVDs and CDs can be

recorded in multiple sessions.

1 Click Start, choose All Programs,

CD (DVD) Recorder,if it is present,

RecordNow, and then click RecordNow.

2 Click Make a Data Disc.

3 Insert a blank or appendable CD-R,

CD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW disc into your

drive, and then click Next.

■ If the disc is full, insert a blank or another

appendable disc. If the disc has data

recorded on it, files with the same name are

recorded over (updated) and any new files

are added.

■ If you are appending a disc, click Yes.

■ If you are erasing a rewriteable disc, click

Erase.

4 To name your disc, select Volume Label,

and then type your name over it. RecordNow

will assign a name based on the recording

date if you don’t type in a name.
