Use this button to get an exact copy of the input CD or DVD onto the other disc.

Disc Size Meter
Disc Size Meter is available in the Burn DVD , Burn DATA and Burn ISO work modes. It shows the
size of the current disc inserted into the CD/DVD/BD drive and the size of the data that is going to be
written onto the disc. Thus, depending on the disc type and its capacity the Disc Size Meter will look
differently for a CD , DVD Single Layer or DVD Double Layer and Blu-Ray discs of different
capacities.
For instance, for a Double Layer Blu-Ray disc it will look like this:
For a DVD Single Layer it will look like this:
For a CD the Disc Size Meter appearance will change like this:
The Marker shows the standard capacity of a CD-R or a CD-RW - about 700 Megabytes.
When you add data to your compilation the Disc Size Meter will show whether your added data is
going to fit your CD/DVD/BD or if it exceeds its capacity.
If the data size is greater than the capacity of a CD/DVD/BD you should either split your data into
parts and record these parts onto several CDs/DVDs/BDs or select another disc type with a larger
capacity. See the Appendix section for more information on different disc types.

Working with AVS DVD Copy
Overview
The main work modes of the AVS DVD Copy are:
Copy DVD - use this mode to copy video DVD from one disc to another. The source disc will
be analyzed and, if you would like to copy from a greater size disc to a smaller size one,
recompressed to fit the target size. You can also remove unwanted languages, menus and
extras, if needed.
1.
Copy CD - use this mode to create exact copies of DVDs, CDs and BDs. No data will be
changed, so you will need to use the identical disc types for both source and target.
2.
Burn Discs - use these modes to record different type of files onto CDs, DVDs and BDs. You
can record DVD video (Burn DVD ), all kind of data (Burn DATA ) and ISO-images (Burn
ISO ) onto your target disc.
