Copy CD/DVD Discs

Copying CD/DVD discs with B's Recorder GOLD5 is as simple as specifying the source and destination drives. You can also set various options as required.

Note
You cannot copy all CD/DVD discs, especially those that are copyright protected.

When copying a CD/DVD without using On-the-Fly, you require a maximum of about 900 MB of free space on the temporary drive to copy a CD and a maximum of about 5 GB for a DVD. When using On-the-Fly, you require approximately 100 MB to copy both CD and DVD discs.

 



Copy Settings

There are two types of settings for copying a disc; the standard settings and the audio disc settings. Click the button next to the source drive name to open the Options window.
 






 

Search Loadable Size
Enable this option, to get accurate track information by analyzing its pregap and postgap. It also ensures your disc is true to the original. The benefits are most obvious when recording in DAO.

  Read Speed
You can specify the source drive speed for data and audio tracks separately. There is usually no problem specifying [Maximum] for data tracks. However, specifying [Maximum] for audio tracks may result in noise or skipping on the track depending on the drive. If this occurs, specify a slower speed.

  Audio Filter
This setting is valid when copying CDs with audio tracks, such as an audio CD, Mixed-Mode CD or CD Extra disc. The audio filters you specify will be applied to all the audio tracks on the original CD when recorded.

Note
The number of audio filters available differs depending on the GOLD5 edition.
 

 

Adding a Filter
Click [Add] to open the Select Audio Filter window. Select the filter you want to add, then click [Add]. Repeat this procedure to add multiple filters.

 


 

Deleting a Filter
Select the filter you want to delete, then click [Delete].

 


  Setting the Filter Properties
Click [Options]. Select the filter, then click [Properties]. Change the settings as required, then click [OK].
 







Destination Drive Settings (Copy Attributes)

Disc-At-Once Enable this option to make your disc true to the original and to prevent additional data being recorded onto the disc.
Close CD Enable this option when you want to make the current session the last in multisession. Be sure to disable [Disc-At-Once] when using [Close CD]. Some older drives will not load a disc normally if it is not closed.
Honor track length The beginning address of each track is usually given priority when copying. The last two seconds, however, are cut in the case of audio tracks. The length of the track is given priority and the last two seconds are not cut when you enable this option.
