Copy a disc using two drives
Copy tab with progress indicator
If you change project tabs while copying a disc, a progress indicator appears on the Copy tab. If your attention is required to complete the project, the tab will flash.

Would you like to make copies even faster? You can if your computer is equipped with a disc recorder and a second disc drive. A two-drive system gives you the option to copy one disc directly to another without storing a large temporary file on your hard drive.


Tips

  • Direct disc-to-disc copies can fail for a variety of reasons: drive compatibility, drive speed issues, disc speed issues, etc. If you experience problems, try the following suggestions:
    • Use the speed settings on the General > Advanced options panel to reduce the recording speed of your faster drive. (Advanced options are not available with all versions of this product.)
    • Make sure the discs you are using are compatible with your recorder drive.
    • If possible, use a different combination of source and destination drives.
  • Direct disc-to-disc copies cannot be created if the Stage to hard drive for better quality option is selected on the Copy options panel.

Step-by-step

To copy a disc using two drives:
  1. Click on the Copy tab.
  2. From the list of copy projects, click on the Copy Disc link.
  3. Select a source drive from the first drop-down list and insert the disc you wish to copy into the drive.
  4. Select a destination drive from the second drop-down list. Insert a blank or rewritable disc.
  5. Click on the action button to begin recording.
