Hi there gang. As promised, here are the instructions on using the Image
recorder with Nero Burning-rom V 6, as that's the most recent one doing the
rounds. I can however do Nero 5.x if requested. Note that the below is taken
from a manual, to avoid re-gurgitating the info myself, and probably messing
it up! Smile.
6.11.2. Copying the Image of the Tracks or Files to the Hard Disk
After changing from the default CD-RW or DVD-RW burning drive
recorder to the image recorder as above, you create images from
CDs in your CD-RW drive and copy them to your hard disk for later
burning back to your CD/DVD burning drive by:
1. You can either continue straight after choosing the image
recorder above or you can exit Nero and then re-launch it later
and then continue as follows.
2. Press ESCAPE and then CONTROL N to open a new compilation
window. The dialogue you come into has several settings you can
TAB through and check on or off providing parameters and format
types for file or tracks burning but for this example just SHIFT
TAB backwards around three times to the normal list of burning
formats, e.g. CD-ROM (ISO) (for data files), Audio CD, mixed mode
CD, etc and ARROW down and leave focus on the one you want. For
this example, leave focus on "Audio CD". Then SHIFT TAB backwards
to the "New" button and press ENTER.
3. You are now in the same folders and file selecting dialogue
structure as described in earlier sections, on the files or
tracks list, which will be empty as usual, so TAB once and select
the drive the CD you want to extract an image from is currently
in, e.g. your D: or E: drive, and then select all files on that
CD with CONTROL A or individual files as normal and copy them to
the Clipboard with CONTROL C. Then TAB to the files/tracks list
and paste them in there with CONTROL V. If they are .cda tracks,
they will immediately start to be analysed, extracted and added
and will be converted to wav files if necessary, but you may be
asked for a name for the source CD and the default name Nero will
give is "Unknown". So just TAB to "OK" and press ENTER if you do
not wish to name the source CD or type a title into the editfield
first if you do wish to name it. Each file/track may take a while
to add and you may not receive a verbal indicator as to when this
has finished, so you may have to check your Status Line and/or
go into mouse mode to confirm this. So your files or tracks are
now selected and ready for adding to your compilation.
4. When the files or tracks analysing/adding is finished, Press
ALT R (for Recorder) and then O (for Burn Compilation). You will
come into a reduced options version of the burn dialogue box and
may wish to turn on or off the "Finalise CD" option, depending
on your requirements. Now TAB to "Burn" to start the copying of
the image to your hard disk process, but note that now, before
burning, another dialogue box comes up asking you to accept the
default image filename of "image.nrg" or change this to an image
filename of your own choice, which you are recommended to do.
However, before TABBING to and pressing ENTER on "Save" to save
the image to hard disk, you should observe the "Save In" option
to ensure that you know where the image will save to to later be
able to locate it. Ensure that It will save to a writable and not
a read-only disk/folder, e.g. to My Documents.
Note: In image burning the individual tracks are not copied to
your hard disk as separate files/tracks but rather the whole lot
is copied as one large image file with one filename.
5. After saving the image to hard disk, you press ENTER on an
"OK" button when told the process was successful and get the
standard "Save Log", "Print Log", "Done", etc, options offered
you, so make your choices and then press ENTER on "Done".
6.11.3. Burning the Image of the Files or Tracks from the Hard
Disk to a CD-R/DVD-R or CD-RW/DVD-RW Disk
After copying your files or tracks to the hard disk as an image
file with a single filename, you then change back to the standard
CD burning drive recorder and burn them to a blank CD in your CD-
RW drive.
1. Now remove the source disk from the CD-RW drive and replace
it with the blank disk you wish to burn to. To have the image
file burnt from hard disk to the newly inserted CD-R/CD-RW or
DVD-R/DVD-RW disk, you now press ALT R (for Recorder) and press
ENTER on "Choose Recorder (or use the shortcut of CONTROL R)".
ARROW from the image recorder to your usual CD burning drive and
TAB to "OK" and press ENTER to reselect that drive.
2. Next press ALT R (for Recorder) and then B (for Burn Image).
Now type the image filename you gave your saved image above into
the editfield which opens up, e.g. "image.nrg" or any personal
filename which you may have given it, and TAB to "Open" and press
ENTER.
3. a limited option version of the standard burn dialogue opens
up and you can sometimes choose the "Number of Copies" to burn
and to "Use multiple Recorders". You then TAB to "Burn" and press
ENTER to commence the copying/burning from hard disk image to CD
or DVD. Ensure that the "Write" option is checked on before
burning.
4. After burning is complete, you are faced with the usual "OK"
button to press ENTER on and the same following final options,
so ARROW to and press ENTER on "Done" or use the shortcut of ALT
D.
Note 1: During many of the adding, analysing and burning steps
above you can usually use your screenreader's read Title Bar hot
key to ascertain the state of burning, etc, completed in
percentage terms.
Note 2: It is a good idea to ensure that you are selecting
sufficient tracks or files for image copying and burning to
completely fill a target CD, e.g. a whole shop-bought music CD,
as you cannot add more tracks later. If you try to add more
tracks to a CD-RW rewritable CD, Nero will advise you that it
must firstly erase the disk before burning a new image to it.
Note 3: Remember, if you only carried out the first two stages
of this process, i.e. turning the image recorder on and copying
the image to hard disk, you will have to use CONTROL R and re-
select your CD-RW drive to return to burning Cds without having
the copy go to the hard disk as an image if this is how you want
to work in future because the standard burning recorder is not
automatically reselected for you.
