Write Speed: Select from the dropdown list the speed you want to use when burning a CD. Lower speeds will take longer but will be less likely to produce errors when burning the CD. Higher speeds will take less time, but are more likely to produce errors when burning the CD.

CD Creation Mode

Select either Audio CD or Data CD.

Audio CD: Create a CD that can be played on standard audio CD players.

Equalize: Adjust the gain of each track so that the average gain of all tracks is constant.

Data CD: Create a data CD with each clip stored as a media file. Files stored on the CD can be read by standard CD-ROM drives.

Note:

Data file compatible CD players can play media files directly from data CDs. Refer to the documentation for the applicable CD player for information on optimum file quality and if sub-folders are supported by the player.

Advanced Options

Music Sub-Folder Options: RealOne Player will automatically create and store files in sub-folders. Sub-folders can be created based on clip info (Album, Artist, Genre). Select option to enable. An example of the selected option is displayed below the selections.

  • Create no folders: No sub-folders created. All media files are placed in the root folder of the CD.

  • Create folder based on Artist-Album: A sub-folder is created for each different Artist-Album combination represented in the media files being stored on the CD.
  • Create folders based on: Select a category from the dropdown list.
  • Create folder named: One sub-folder created. All media files are placed in that folder.

Clip Conversion: (Default is Don't convert) When this option is selected, all media files are converted into the selected format when they are stored on the CD. (The original media files are not converted, only the copy stored on the CD are converted.) Select the conversion format from the dropdown menu.

Note:

When media files are converted, the RealOne Player uses the best comparable bit-rate so that the quality of the new files is as close as possible to that of the original files. If you wish to change the quality of the files saved on the data CD, you will have to manually convert the files before saving them. (See Converting Clips for details.)
