Additional Burning Notes and Features

The following are some additional burning notes and features for CyberLink Power2Go that you may find extremely useful when burning discs.

Using the CyberLink ISO Viewer

With CyberLink Power2Go you can use the CyberLink ISO Viewer to view disc images in the ISO, P2I (Power2Go image), or RDF format on your computer’s hard drive. This convenient tool lets you view the contents of an image file, and quickly extract files or burn the image to a disc.

You can launch the CyberLink ISO Viewer by selecting CyberLink IS O Viewer 13 option from the Windows start menu, or right-clicking on an image file on your hard drive and then selecting CyberLink IS O Viewer 13.

Multisession Discs

When you burn a data disc in CyberLink Power2Go, you can create a multisession disc that lets you burn additional content to a disc that is not full. CyberLink Power2Go creates a multisession disc whenever you burn a CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc and choose not to close the disc.

With multisession discs you can continue to add content it until the disc is full or closed, at which point you can no longer add any further data.

Cyb erLink Power2Go 13
