16 ULEAD BURN.NOW USER GUIDE
Making a data disc
A data disc is a disc that
contains computer files. Computer files can
include a wide variety of data including word-processed documents,
spreadsheets, multimedia files including music, video clips, images,
and much, much more. Discs are extremely convenient for storing
data as they can hold large quantities. CDs can hold up to 700MB of
data, while DVDs can hold gigabytes of data. Since recordable/
rewritable discs are relatively inexpensive, they are quick and
convenient way of backing up computer systems. As an added
bonus, their compactness allows for easy storage and
transportation.
