Hi every one. Can any one tell me where the drag-to-disc feature is on EMC 10?

[ggrussell]

Sorry, that feature has been discontinued.

It's gone. It has 'left the building'.

Oh , I didn'tknow. I thought that by upgrading from version 7 all features would remain but be updated. So whats the best way to copy individual files to a cd-r and be able to append to the disk?

As was always the case, use Creator Classic. Be sure to uncheck the Read Only box in the burn options.

ok thanks for that information

Since Packet-Writing is notorious for being fussy at best, and unreliable at worst - if you can still read your Drag-to-Disc CDs it'd be a good idea to copy the data to fresh, UNFORMATTED CDs with Classic Creator.

Actually, having multiple copies of backups is a good idea anyway.

So will creator classic allow me to burn various file formats (ie jpeg, wma, text files) to cd-r and allow me to keep adding to that same disk on different sessions?

It sure will, but please don't spread your posts all over the place. Add them to your original thread.

Topics merged.

ok sorry this is all new to me. I seem to put 1 file onto the disk then it seems to finalise. I waste so many disks that only have the one file on it.

Yes it will, but keep in mind that there is some overhead involved with each session you add, approximately 10MB per session. So, you may want to let some of your files collect on your HD and add enough to "make it worthwhile", not just one file for each session.

Yes, you can copy any file type to a data CD in Creator classic. By default it excludes system files, but you can change that in the project settings.

To allow multiple sessions on the same CD-R, after you click burn, in the burn set up window that opens, make sure that read only is unchecked. Also remember to import previous sessions before adding a new session.

EDIT:
Several of us were typing/posting more or less simultaneously. Apologies for repetitive info.

so when i have to choose a project does it matter which option i choose? (ie data or multimedia disk.) How are files copied to the disk without closing the disk and then how do i close the disk when i have finihed with that particular disk?

ok thanks for that info. You answered my question even before i had asked it.

so when im in my final session do i mark the read only box?

If you are just burning data files, pick data disk. If you have media files, such as video clips, photos, and audio files, you can choose Multimedia disc. I just burn them as data.

As was stated before, if you want to make a multi-session disc, when you hit the Burn button, uncheck the box to the left of Read Only. Burn your data, and at a later date, when you want to add more, open Creator Classic, put your existing data disc in your burner, and you should get a balloon that pops up that tells you to click on it to bring in your last session. You then add your new data, and burn it to the same disc.

When you are going to burn your last session, because the disc will be filled up, after you add the final data, when you click on Burn, put a check in the Read Only box. Once you burn the last session, the disc will be closed.

thanks again. That now answers all my questions.

[grandpabruce]

You are welcome. Test it, and let us know how it goes for you. Remember to click on the icon below the balloon that pops up, to import your previous session.

I didn't see this in the other replies, but it should be noted that the Windows Vista "Live File System" is native packet-writing, so for that OS, at least, you don't need Drag-To-Disc, InCD, etc.

[gi7omy]

D2D has been dropped from EMC 10 (I also believe that Nero is dropping InCD on their latest offering as well)
