• Copy of CD. Copying DVDs

    Disc copying is one of the main features of the program. This requires a drive that supports required format, and a disc of suitable volume (the latter is optional; the disc can also be copied to an image file).

    The disk is copied sector by sector, so the format of the source data does not matter and there are no special features here: it can be a disk with data (for example, a game), Audio CD, Video CD, DVD, etc. Simply insert the source disk, specify the copying mode, and then Nero will determine the progress of the process independently. The process of copying a disc in Nero Express is very simple; When using Nero Burning Rom, the user can set more parameters, such as how to react to the presence of bad sectors. You don't need to have two drives to copy: if your computer has one drive, Nero will copy the information to an intermediate file on your hard drive and then request a blank for recording. With two drives, copying can be done on the fly.

    Note
    When using hard drive and a recording drive connected via IDE interface(in the version of “on-the-fly” copying - two drives), it is better to connect them to different sockets - then the information will be supplied with a minimum delay.

    One drive reads the data, the second immediately writes it. Copying in this case is faster, but not much. The read speed is an order of magnitude higher than the write speed, so the buffer may become empty. If the recording drive does not support this technology (outdated), the disc can be damaged, but most likely the recording speed will be reduced to the minimum required.

    Note
    Not all drives recover and then maintain speed at the optimal level when critical situations occur - read errors or buffer underruns.

    The Nero developers recommend forcing the read speed when writing on the fly to be no more than twice the write speed. It should be noted that discs that use one of the protection technologies cannot be copied using Nero.

    Let's describe copying in more detail using an example DVD disc, for on home page Nero StartSmart select the Save tab -> Copy. DVD

    After clicking on the Copier icon. DVD, a window will appear for selecting the source drive and destination drive, i.e. the source drive is a DVD drive that will copy the DVD of interest, the destination drive is DVD drive, which will write the copied data to the disc. The source drive and the destination drive can be one drive, just do it first DVD image, and then the image is written to a disc using the same drive.

    After clicking the Copy button, copying of the disc will begin.

    When the copying process is complete, Nero will display a message -> Insert a blank disc to burn. After completing it, the process of writing data to the disc will begin.

    Instructions

    One of the most common copy protection systems is the StarForce system. The creators of the system guaranteed absolute copy protection to game producers, but with the right approach, the disc can still be copied. Let's consider copying a protected disk using the Alcohol 120% program. This program can be easily found in and installed on your . Alcohol 120% will not only copy data from the disk, but will also transfer information about its physical structure to special file, during the recording process, read by the emulator, which in turn will emulate delays that simulate StarForce protection.

    Insert the disc to be copied into the drive of your . Run the Image Creation Wizard in the Alcohol 120% program. Don’t forget to check the “emulator” function and select Starforce 1.x/2.x as the data type. Click the "Next" button. To successfully copy, the program will first need to create a virtual image. Give me a name the file being created, select *.mds and tell the program the folder in which it will write the disk image. Disable all unnecessary active applications, set the reading speed to minimum. The more carefully Alcohol 120% reads the source disk, the greater the chance that it will be able to cope with the protection. Depending on the power of the computer, after some time the creation of the virtual image will be completed, you can remove the disk from the drive.

    With recorded virtually you can do it differently. The best solution the image will be linked to the virtual disk. The Alcohol 120% program, in fact, specializes in this. But you can try and burn it to a physical disk. When recording, Alcohol 120% reads the protection data from the information and will try to completely recreate a physical copy of the disc you need. The writing speed, as with reading, should be selected to the minimum. After some time, your disk will be ready.

    CDs with your favorite music have one drawback - they wear out over time, and scratches are especially critical. And the appearance of scratches from a car radio is common. Therefore, many music lovers create a copy of the original disc, which can be rewritten if necessary. Collectible discs are often protected against duplicates. But if you wish, you can make a backup copy of your CD.
