How to Burn a CD Using Nero Burning

This time the educational services will share with you how to burn a CD using Nero Burning.
Before we start the step-by-step CD burning process, we need to prepare several things like:

• CD / DVD room device
• The blank CD/DVD that we are going to burn.
• Laptop/PC with Nero Burning Software installed
• Data to be entered / burned

Please note that CD / DVD have two types. They are CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. CD-R is a single-use CD, which means that stored data cannot be deleted or added. However, a CD-RW is a CD that can be erased and then replaced with new data or files.
Likewise with DVR-R and DVD-RW.

The capabilities of CDs and DVDs also vary; The CD has a storage capacity of 700MB while the DVD has a storage capacity of 4.7GB. This means that if you want to burn a small file, just use a CD, but if the file you want to burn is large and a lot, it is better to use a DVD. There are several things to know when using Nero Burning software:

data burning: Burn/store data to CD/DVD in the form of files from Microsoft Word, office databases or other file-related data.

sound burning: i.e. burn data in audio form either as an audio CD (like a CD we usually play with a CD/DVD player). An MP3 CD that you can use to store mp3 files. Video CD is used to burn video files to CD.

disc burning: ie copy files already stored on a CD / DVD. The files that can be copied are usually files that already exist in file form. ISOs or files. ng.

Please also note that not all CDs/DVDs can be copied or copied as some CDs may be protected (protected) and this may also be due to CD/DVD errors.

After knowing the data and types of CD/DVDs above, let’s follow how to burn a CD using nero burning software.
