Select the Master Reading Source
When you try to make a copy, you need to specify where the
master disc is. Is it in the Reader tray? Or is it an Image inside
the Hard Drive? This tutorial will show you how to change
the Master Reading Source to satisfy your needs.
Basically, there are 3 scenarios that require you to select the
Master Reading Source.
•
Disc-to-Disc copy (read for READER tray) – This is the
case when you would normally make copies on the fly.
You need to set the “Reader” as your Master Reading
Source.
•
Hard Drive-to-Disc copy (if Hard Drive installed) – If you
want to make copies from your Hard Drive Image, you
need to select the source as “Hard Drive”.
There are four benefits to copy from Hard Drive:
i.
Performance
– Duplicating form the Hard Drive
will be able to boost the DVD duplication speed to
8x or above.
ii.
Stability
– Duplicating from Hard Drive will
stabilize the duplication process compared to the
Disc to Disc duplicating.
iii.
Durability
– Hard Drive is a much better storage
device than DVD recordable discs. First of all,
DVD recordable discs are composed of chemical
materials tend to degrade over a period of time
while Hard Drives are made of magnetic disks
which will last over 100 years. Secondly, DVD
recordable discs are often exposed and can very
easily be scratched on its surface, while Hard
Drives are covered with metal and mounted inside
the duplicator.
