Woofnine Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Greetings, I know this is probably basic, sorry! I am rather new to this. When I create a CD, the title of it that appears in Windows Explorer after the drive letter is always Roxio xx. (The xx is probably the sequential number of discs burned) Where do I enter a different name? I have been using the drag to disc function and find it useful but can't seem to find the correct spot to put my own CD name. Thanks in advance!

Woofnine There are 5 burning programs in the Suite, which one are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofnine Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 There are 5 burning programs in the Suite, which one are you using? Jim, I bought the basic "Easy CD and DVD Creator", the stripped down version. As I mentioned, I have been using the drag to disc function. Does that answer your question?

When you say safer, what are the issues, data loss? Bad burns? I am obviously not well versed on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say safer, what are the issues, data loss? Bad burns? I am obviously not well versed on this Packet-Writing (Drag2Disc, Sonic's DLA, Nero's InCD, etc) is notorious for turning into an unreadable disc, thereby losing all of the data on it. I don't know what you mean by an 'e-catalogue'. If it is a number of different files you want to keep, use a Sessions-based program such as Creator Classic in ECD/DVDC 6, or WinXP's built-in burning. If it is something you want to change a lot, I'd suggest a Flash drive (aka Pen / Thumb / Keychain / Jump drive). Packet-Writing is probably ok for moving files to another computer when the original file is safely on the originating computer, but as a way of archiving data is best known for permantly losing data. Been there, done that. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "e-catalog", I simply meant a product catalog on a disc rather than on paper. One of those flip book kind of things. Not a pretty picture if packets are dropped in the burn process. Sorry for not taking the time to research before asking, I was under a bit of a time press. Your posts helped steer me in the proper direction. Thanks again!

Jim_Hardin Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 How far and wide is this e-catalog distributed? Packet Writing, D2D included, is great for temporary transfer of files 'in house' if you don't have a network. It is not the best thing to use for outside distribution or keeping anything you value. Asking questions is research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
