Using the Drive
When writing to discs
Read the instructions on the disc package carefully.
With DVD-RAM, you can write or rewrite as with the hard disk using Explorer, without
using the writing software. (DVD-RAM driver is required. Refer to page 12 on how to
install the software.)
Writing software is required to write data to a disc other than DVD-RAM.
Install “B’s Recorder” and “B’s CLiP” using “DVD Drive Utility Disc” (included).
( page 17)
Be sure to use discs conforming to the proper write speeds. ( page 24)
If the write operation is to involve a long period of time, be sure to connect the AC
adaptor. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write
operation may end in failure.
Be sure to use discs that meet the following specifications.
