DiscDupe 2000
DiscDupe 2000 is a single-disc replication program. Simple to use, the feature-filled
interface provides numerous ways to copy discs and includes a disc verification
function to ensure your duplicate disc is identical to the master. You can copy most
kinds of discs.
Features of DiscDupe 2000 include:
•
Disc-to-disc duplication: You can copy a disc to a PlexWriter from a Plextor
drive or any MMC-compliant drive.
•
Disc-to-image and image-to-disc: Copy an entire CD as an image on your hard
drive. Store the image for future use and copy that image to a CD-R or CD-RW
disc as needed.
•
Single-drive disc duplication: If you have only a single PlexWriter drive,
DiscDupe 2000 can use it as both a source and a destination. DiscDupe 2000
writes an image from the PlexWriter to a temporary file on your hard drive, then
writes the image from the hard drive to your PlexWriter.
Enhanced Drive Properties
Plextor Manager 2000 adds features to the Properties menu; just right-click (that is,
click the right mouse button) on the Plextor drive’s icon, located in My Computer or
Windows Explorer, then select Properties. (Or, left-click on the Plextor icon in the
Taskbar, select Settings, and then choose the drive letter of the Plextor drive.)
Enhanced drive properties include:
•
Settings Tab: Enable/disable AudioFS, set spindown timeout, set drive read
speed, lock or unlock the eject button for security, and adjust sound balance and
volume settings, all from a convenient dialog box.
•
Details Tab: Shows you details about your Plextor drive, including the model
number, serial number, the driver that’s loaded, the ASPI version, and other data.
Also provides information about the disc in the drive, such as disc format,
number of sessions, number of data and audio tracks, and more. With PlexWriter
drives you can also identify the CD-R and CD-RW media manufacturer and disc
type. When used with a PlexWriter CD-RW drive and CD-RW disc, an Erase
button lets you erase a previously recorded CD-RW disc in order to use it again.
