DVD
You are here: Tutorials
> Using MagicISO to create a multisession CD
and DVD.
1. Start
Multisession CD/DVD
- First, Insert an empty CD or DVD into your
recorder.
- Start new compilation by clicking on the Menu "File"->"New"->"Data
CD/DVD Image".
- Click
to set the properties of data CD/DVD image.
In the "File/Directory names length" section,
you can specify the ISO level for the length
of the names. ISO Level 1 means that the names
cannot be more than 11 characters long for DOS
and Windows 3.1(8 for the name and 3 for the
extension). ISO Level 2 means that the names
can be up to 31 characters long for Windows 95
and higher. ISO Level 2 will be best in most
cases - if you know that CD must also be
readable on DOS or Windows 3.1 system then you
should select ISO level 1. ISO 9660:1999 v2
means that the names can be up to 207
characters long for some Linux and Unix
system.
In the "CD File System" Section, you can
specify which CD File system for the data CD.
ISO-9660 is a standard CD-ROM file system that
allows you to read the same CD-ROM whether you
are on the PC UNIX Linunx Mac or other major
computer. Joliet is an extension of the ISO
9660 standard, developed by Microsoft to allow
CD and DVD to be recorded using long
filenames, and using the Unicode international
character set. Joliet allows you to use
filenames up to 64 characters in length,
including space. Rock Ridge is an extension of
the ISO 9660 file system designed to support
Unix file system information (such as longer
filenames and deeper directory structures).
Apple HFS/HFS+ is the "Hierarchical File
system", the native volume format used on
modern Macintosh computers. with HFS/HFS+
volume format, CD and DVD can be
readable on Mac OS. UDF (Universal Disk
Format) is a file system developed by OSTA.
With UDF volume format, data can be written to
a CD or DVD in the same way as to a hard disk
or floppy disk.
Once you have selected your settings, Click Ok
to apply.
- Change the root name you can give your CD
or DVD and overtype the default name. you can
use letter A-Z, digits 0-9 and the underscore
character(_).

using Drag&Drop editing by simply clicking on
the required files in the file browser and

CD and DVD by clicking
button.
When adding directories, the directory
structure is moved across too, i.e. if you
drag an entire folder into the compilation
panel, the folder will be created on the CD
you wish to burn.
If you drag a lot of individual files however this may affect the clarity
of the CD's contents. To avoid this you can
create new folders within the compilation
panel by clicking
button. The folder you have just created is
assigned the name "New Folder" by default and
can be renamed immediately.
