Recording Audio and
Data Files
You can record and customize audio files
and back up large data files to CD-R, CD-RW,

HP Pavilion home PC
1 Click Start, choose All Programs,
HP RecordNow, and then click
RecordNow.
2 Select one of the following options:
Click Make an Exact Copy to create a
copy of a single music or data disc. If you
copy MP3 audio files, you may not be able
to play them back on your home or car
stereo. This option creates a closed CD
or DVD.
Click Make a Music Disc to create music
CDs from various audio files that are
downloaded from the Internet, recorded
from your hard drive files, or recorded from
other CDs. CD-R discs play in most home
and car stereos. CD-RW discs play only in
some stereos. This option creates a closed
CD or DVD.
Click Make a Data Disc to create a copy
of your personal data files. This option
allows you to add new files or update
previously recorded files with the same
name to your data disc until the CD-R or
CD-RW disc is full. You can record data files
to a DVD+R disc only once. For DVD+RW
discs, you must erase all previously
recorded data and then re-record your files.
3 Press the Eject button on the hp dvd writer
drive, and insert the blank CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD+R, or DVD+RW disc.
4 Follow onscreen instructions to complete
recording your files. Click the Help

and you can record a CD only to a CD-R or
a CD-RW disc.

About recording music
About recording data
HP RecordNow records music CDs that are
closed CDs. This means that you must record all
music files in one recording session. When a
recording is complete, no more information
can be added to that disc and the CD is closed.
Music files can be re-recorded on a rewritable
CD or DVD disc, but all previously recorded files
will be erased.
When recording data files, HP RecordNow can
update existing files that have been previously
recorded and add new files to rewritable CDs.
For rewritable DVDs, you must erase all
previously recorded data and then re-record your
files.
Important: You can record audio files (MP3 and WAV
files) to a DVD as data files, but you cannot create
a DVD audio disc to be played on a car or home
CD player.
For best compatibility with CD-ROM drives and
CD players, use CD-R discs to record music.
You can add data files to a CD-R disc in multiple
recording sessions using HP RecordNow until the
CD is full. Any files with the same name will be
overwritten with the newer version.
Important: When HP RecordNow or MyDVD records
data to a DVD+R disc, it creates a closed disc. This
means that once the data has been recorded, no
more data can be added to that disc. Make sure
all data files are selected before you record them
to a DVD+R disc.
HP RecordNow can also make copies of discs
and archive data from your hard disk drive.
HP RecordNow will not record copyrighted DVD
titles.

About recording with HP DLA
HP DLA allows you to use the hp dvd writer drive
like a diskette drive by using the drag-and-drop
capability. When using HP DLA to copy files
directly to CDs or DVDs, you need to format the
disc first. After you format the disc and record
your files, you can make the disc compatible so it
can be read from other computers.
5 Under Format type, select Full or Quick
(erase). You must select the quick format for
all CD-R and DVD+R discs. You must select the
full format for a CD-RW or DVD+RW disc the
first time you format. Full format can take up to
25 to 45 minutes, depending on the speed of
the drive and the size of your disc. Quick
format usually takes less than a minute.
1 Press the Eject button on the hp dvd writer
drive, and insert the blank CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD+R, or DVD+RW disc.
6 If desired, click Enable Compression.
(Only PCs with DLA software installed
can read files formatted with this type of
compression.) If the files are already
compressed, DLA cannot compress them
again.
2 Click Start, and then click My Computer.
Important: CD-R discs that contain compressed files
To format a disc that allows you to record files
using the DLA program:
cannot be made compatible.
3 Right-click the dvd writer drive icon, and
select Format.
7 Click Start to format the disc.
4 Under Volume Label, type in the title of
the disc.

on the CD or DVD will be erased.

9 Click OK.
10 When the disc formatting is complete, you can
copy your files to the dvd writer drive icon.
If after you record your files, you want to read
this formatted disc (uncompressed CD-R only)
on most other CD-ROM drives, right-click the
dvd writer drive icon and select Make
Compatible.
Important: The Make Compatible option for DLA
software is available only for uncompressed CD-R
discs. Once you make a disc compatible, the disc
is closed, and you can’t write any more files to it.

Editing Video Files
You can use ArcSoft ShowBiz (ShowBiz) to edit
your video files before you save them to your
hard drive or record them to CDs or DVDs. To
record video files with a standard DVD format,
use MyDVD.
Editing video with ShowBiz
In ShowBiz, you have the option to import, edit,
and record your video files directly to CDs or
DVDs. If you record your video files using
ShowBiz instead of MyDVD, your DVD or VCD
does not have a customized background or any
titles or chapter buttons. To have these format
options, you must export the file to MyDVD,
choose the formatting settings, and then record
the video file to disc.
ShowBiz and MyDVD are linked with the Send to
Editor and Export buttons. This means you can:
First, import your video files from your
camcorder or other digital source using
ShowBiz or MyDVD.
Then, you can edit your files in ShowBiz, or if
you used MyDVD, you can send these files to
ShowBiz using the Send to Editor button. This
automatically opens the video files in ShowBiz
for editing.
And finally, you can record your video files to
CD or DVD from ShowBiz. You also have the
option to send your video files back to MyDVD
using the Export button to record your edited
video file to a CD or DVD.
To edit your video files in ShowBiz:
2 Attach your digital video camcorder or other
digital video device to your PC if using a
camcorder as the source of video files. Click
the Capture button to transfer video files from
your camcorder or VCR to your hard drive.
Or
Select the Media tab, and then click the
Book (Add) icon to browse and select your
video files from your PC. Select your file, and
then click Open.
3 Once you have all your video clips in your
project file, use the program to make edits. To
edit video files, you need to drag and drop
them to the storyboard or timeline area of the
window. Refer to the help (?) menu in ShowBiz
for more information about editing your video
files.
1 Click Start on the taskbar, choose All
Programs, choose ArcSoft ShowBiz,
and then click ShowBiz.
