•
Create a CD or DVD “sneakernet” to share information with

media, then continue adding files and sharing the same disc.

About Software
In order to record on DVD±R DL, DVD±R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs
you will need to have mastering, packet writing, or duplication software
installed on your computer system. If you purchased a retail kit from
Plextor, you’ll get software packages that include such software.
Sonic Solution’s Easy Media Creator software is one software suite that
lets you burn DVDs and CDs. The software lets you burn and share
anything on CD or DVD, including music, photos, and videos; and you
can easily back up your critical data to a CD or DVD. One component of
Sonic Solution is Drag-to-Disc, which makes the Plextor PX-820 drive
as easy to use as a hard disk drive. (For more information about Sonic
Solution, install this application and examine the help files.)
