Burn and Read Speeds 
The following burn and read speeds are available:
Minimum: Slowest speed for the most reliable burning.
Safety mode: Moderate speed with emphasis on safety.
Automatic: Optimal speed for the selected disc burner and the data to be burned.
Maximum: Maximum speed of selected disc burner.
 

 

 
 
The Image Recorder is also suitable for creating an image of a disc type not supported by the connected recorder. For example, you can therefore create a DVD image without having installed a DVD recorder. You can then write the image to a disc at any time. 
 
 
 
Image
An image refers to a single file on the hard drive that contains the image of a complete disc. A disc image can be used to create exact copies on media at a later point in time if problems occur during the write process or if no recorder is connected to your PC. The image requires as much free space on the hard drive as the contents of the original disc take up.
