The only guide authorized by Hewlett-Packard, this book shows how to make the most out of a DVD or CD recorder, one step at a time. Through start-to-finish projects, the reader can learn to create every type of DVD, CD, and VCD, and record video, photographs, music and data. Topics covered include: comparing and choosing the right recorder for your needs; installing an internal or external CD-RW or DVD+RW drive; preparing your PC to record DVDs and CDs reliably; ripping songs from a CD, or downloading songs from the Internet and creating a compilation CD; using software bundled with HP's CD Writers and DVD Writers and other leading DVD and CD recording tools; recording CD slide shows with digital photographs; enhancing your discs with labels and on-disc menus; troubleshooting recording problems; and using your recorder to combine video, digital images, music and data onto one disc.
