Q: How much can I burn on a CD?
A: Usually up to 650 MB/74 Min or 700 MB/80 Min depending on the particular type of a CD-R/CD-RW.

Q: I have 16x10x40 CD Writer but it only allows me to record CD-Rs at 10x speed. Why?
A: Some types of CD-Rs that support recording speeds up to 52x aren't fully compatible with the CD Drives with the "high speed" mark and fully support only those with the "ultra speed" sign.

Q: I've heard that it was possible to burn 90min CD-Rs. How can I do that?
A: Your CD Writer should support this type of CD-R and must have the overburning feature.

Q: How many times can I write on a CD-RW disk before it becomes useless?
A: We cannot give you the specific number since it depends on many things like: manufacturer of the CD-RW, max and min allowable writable speeds, how old the disk is, etc. The number may vary from 100 to 1000 times.

Q: I have problems playing recorded VideoDVDs, why?
A: Make sure you authored the movie file first, prior burning. Any third-party software designed specifically for authoring of video files should do the trick. Once the authoring process is complete, you should have the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders on your hard drive. Now start DeepBurner Pro and select the Create VideoDVD project type. You'll be asked to select a folder containing both VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. After that just press the Burn button.

Q: How many songs can be recorded on an AudioCD?
A: As many songs as would fit into CD-R/CD-RW capacity, which is usually limited to 74 or 80 mins.

Q: Does DeepBurner create intermediate, temporary WAV files when burning audio CDs from MP3 files?
A: Yes, DeepBurner creates temporary wav files if you make AudioCDs from mp3/wmf/ogg file types. These temporary files will be automatically deleted when you close DeepBurner.

Q: Your program is unable to find my CD/DVD burner!
A: Try to uncheck the ASPI driver box in Recorder->Settings before initializing the drive.

Q: How do I finalize a disc?
A: The disk will be finalizaed automatically if you're burning it in a no-multisession mode.

Q: How can I remove the 2 sec - pause between the audio tracks?
A: Try using the Disc-at-Once burning method.

Q: I can't see the Explorer window from where to select files for burning. What should I do?
A: You should click on the "Launch new Browser Window" button located on the toolbar (yellow folder).

Q: I bought a movie on DVD and DeepBurner Pro didn't seem to copy it to a new DVD+R correctly. Why is that?
A: Likely the original DVD is copy protected and DeepBurner is unable to decrypt copyright protection mechanisms (CSS) as it would violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
