Multifunctional device recording utility

This program was named after the emperor Nero, who, according to a well-known legend, set fire to Rome. English translation the name sounds like "Nero, who burned Rome" or a little differently - "Nero, burning (CD-)ROM". This is such a play on words. But Nero does not burn, but burns through, that is, it records the optical media.

Nero makes it easy to work withCD andDVD , video and sound, and also has the function Reserve copy and does the layout of the cover. Recently, Nero has been recordingandin Blu-ray andHD.

So, in this article we will consider the process of burning discs with this utility. Step-by-step instruction will help to deal with all the subtleties and solve any problems.

Recall the types of disks and their purpose

First you need to decide which media to choose: CD or DVD, then R or RW. I suggest briefly familiarizing yourself with popular formats.

1. CD-R. If you need to record a minimum of information (up to 700 MB), you should choose the simplest format and, moreover, economical from a financial point of view. Of the benefits - you can add information to multi-sessions until the place runs out. Of the minuses - you can not erase anything.
2. CD-RW. Similarly to the first, the media size reaches 700 MB. The only difference is that this disc can be rewritten an indefinite number of times. It costs a little more, but this option is more profitable to purchase, for example, for music: tired - erased and overwritten.
3. DVD-R. More serious and capacious device. The maximum amount of information is 4.7 GB when using a single-layer disc and up to 8.5 GB when using a dual-layer disc. Information can also be recorded in multisessions until space runs out. This format is often used to store data.
4. DVD-RW. Most expensive device listed . It differs from the previous format by the possibility of rewriting. The volumes are the same.

Writing MP3 files

Let's return directly to our topic and consider how to record the selected format in Nero. Let's start with MP3 using CD as an example. Go to the "Data" tab and select the appropriate format on the right side of the screen. Then you need to add the prepared music files to the project. To do this, click "Add" and select the desired audio recordings. At this stage, you should see all the files that are being prepared for burning.

Pay attention to the green bar at the bottom of the screen - this indicator shows occupied by files location on the media.

What does multisession recording mean? If after burning it remains free place on the device, you can use it later by checking the box now. Accordingly, if you are sure that you will not add anything else, close the session.

Attention! If you check the box for multi-session burning to DVD, remember that subsequent burning can only be done on the same drive. Thus, you will not be able to burn on another computer.

Press the "Record" button and proceed directly to burning. After a few minutes, the drive will return the media already with information.

Burning Audio CD in Nero

In principle, there are no significant differences. But there are some points that need to be taken into account. To start burning, you need to select the "Music" tab in the left part of the program window, in the right part - "Audio CD ». As before, we add the necessary tracks and again look at the indicator. There is a slight difference here: now the indicator shows not megabytes, but minutes of free space.

The maximum playing time is 80 minutes, the selected files are not only recorded, but also encoded in desired format. The rest of the process is similar to burning a data carrier.

Write DVD video format with Nero

Actually, we act according to the same scheme. The only problem may arise directly with the video format. For example, if you are transferring footage from a camera, the size may be too large to be recorded on the media. In addition, players may not read it. Nero settings will not help here, in this case it is worth mastering some third party program to encode the video to the required format.

Burn Windows to media via Nero

Many users often have problems burning a system image to DVD. If you are unsure of the correct installed settings, read and memorize the algorithm.

Let's analyze the recording of Windows using the Nero Burning Rom program. This utility goes to complete set Nero. If you don't have it installed, follow this step.

1. We launch installed program and click "Cancel" on the window that appears. This will enable you to switch to main screen utilities.
2. The next step is to open the created system image. Go to the "File" menu, then click "Open". In the window, set the file type - set "All supported projects and images." Open the image capture window.
3. Set burn settings. The first tab with information only briefly describes the project, the next tab "Recording" already provides a number of settings to choose from. There is no point in considering everything in a row, we will analyze only the necessary ones:

• Record.
• Disc recording ( this setting installed by default).
• Recording speed (this parameter depends on the chosen media. As we noted at the beginning, CDs are written the fastest, DVD has the opposite value. If you write CDwith data, choose top speed. Optimal mode - 8x (11 080 kb/s)).
• Finalize CD - in this moment the function must not be active, this action also occurs automatically in this mode.
• Number of copies - the number of discs you plan to burn at one time.

1. The last step is to press the "Burn" button and follow the process. Everything is extremely simple and clear.

Nero is one of the most powerful programs to burn discs. It has a lot of features built into it, though, most often, people do not use even half of what it is capable of. We will learn how to burn to blank CDs and DVD disc and through the Nero Express program, as it is the most simple and convenient.

To open it, click on the "Start" button, open the "Programs" (All Programs), in the list that appears, find the "Nero" item and open Nero Express.

To begin with, the program prompts you to select the type of data (Data; Music; Video / Pictures; Image, project, copier).

We will burn to a CD or DVD disc using the "Data" item. The fact is that this option is universal: through it you can record text, pictures, music, and video. Moreover, such a disk will open on any other computer (not only on yours).

Click on "Data". On the right side of Nero, select the disc on which you want to burn information - CD or DVD.

Just don't forget to put in blank disc into the computer.

A new window will open.

Click the "Add" button on the right.

A window will open overlaying the Nero program. Find the files and folders you want to record in it. Please note: on the left side, you can select another location (Computer, Documents, etc.).

When you find the necessary files and folders in the window, add them. To do this, click once with the left mouse button on the file or folder that you want to record, and click the "Add" button below.

You can add as many files and folders as you want, the main thing is to make sure that the disk does not overflow. For this, the Nero program has a strip at the bottom. As long as there is enough space, the bar is filled with green. Make sure it doesn't turn red. This will mean that the disk is full.

After that, the window will change.

Click the Record (Burn) button.

And wait. The recording process is in progress.

When the disc is burned, it will most likely pop out of the computer on its own, and a small window will appear in the center of the Nero program, in which it will say "Burning completed successfully" or something similar. Click the "OK" button in this window, then the "Next" button at the bottom right and close the Nero program.

Hello! In this article, we'll talk about how to burn a disc using the program Nero.

Technological progress moves at a tremendous speed. I believe that soon the disks will not be needed, as they are now actively using usb drives. But while they are in demand, let's consider how to burn a disc after all.

You can use standard means records Windows drives. But in this article, we will learn how to burn a disc using Nero(I recommend using Nero 7, I consider it the most stable).

Run the program (Start » All Programs » Nero » Nero StartSmart)

After running, we see the action selection window. ProgramNero has good functionality. In addition to high-quality disc recording, it can play videos (using the built-in player), edit images, videos, and record sound. You can also create disc covers and labels. Since now we need to burn the disc, let's do the following:

Open additional settings(arrow on the left side of the program window)

1. Select the "Data" tab
2. Hover mouse cursor on the "Create Data CD" or "Create Data DVD" tab
3. On the left, in the "Open with" item, select " NeroExpress” and check the box “Use as standard application”
4. Click on the green arrow button

These actions are done once, at the first start.

You may ask - Why was it necessary to do the manipulations described above? Why not use the default one?

The answer is simple and obvious - it is cumbersome and not as convenient to use as NeroExpress.

It is difficult for a beginner to navigate in such a window, so I suggested a more convenient option.

AT NeroExpress there are no difficulties, click on the "Add" button (1), in the window that opens, select the file or folder that you want to record (2), in the same window, click "Add" (3).

It's also easy to add by simply dragging them from Explorer (for example, drag a file from either "My Computer" or from a convenient program " Total Commander”) to the Nero workspace.

Do not forget to follow the scale at the bottom of the window, as you add files, it shows how much the disk will be filled. In the image above, you can see that the project uses normal disk 700mb in size, if you exceed this value, then you can't write it down. I recommend reading the article "", in which you will get acquainted with the sizes of disks, formats, capacities, and find out which disk to choose for recording your project.

Added the wrong file by mistake? Don't worry, select it and click on the "Delete" button (or "Delete" on your keyboard), which is located immediately below the "Add" button. When all the files you need have been added, click "Next" in the lower right corner of the program.

In the next window, select your CD or DVD burning drive (1), name the disk (2), open additional settings (3), select the write speed (4), I recommend setting it to no more than 8x so that no errors occur. You can also check the box if you want to check the disk for errors after burning (5). The “Allow adding files” item (5) will allow you to add something to the disk without erasing the files recorded earlier. I do not recommend using this item, because after these manipulations the disk may not work.

If you change your mind and want to burn some other files to the disc, go back with the "Back" button, if everything is in order, press the "Burn" button (6). Wait until the disc is written (the speed of execution depends on the amount of MB of information).

At the end, you will see the following window:

Click "OK", after which you can close the program window. When closed, you will see the following window:

If you are recording a project once, then there is no need to save it, so click "No".

Now you will say with confidence: I can burn a disc withNero!
