• Data Burning. Writes files and folders to CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, including high-capacity formats like BDXL. The disc spanning feature automatically splits large data sets across multiple discs. Supports the creation of bootable discs.
• Audio Burning. Creates standard audio CDs from music files in formats such as MP3, WMA, FLAC, or WAV. Organize tracks in a playlist and write CD-Text information directly to the disc.
• Video Burning. Prepares and burns movies and videos to DVD-Video or Blu-ray discs with navigable menus, compatible for playback on home players.
• Disc Copying. Duplicates CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. Copying is done in one pass with identical source and destination drives, or in two passes by first creating a temporary image on the hard drive.
• Disc Image Creation. Generates ISO, CUE/BIN, or other format image files from optical discs or file collections. It also allows burning existing images to physical media.
• Audio Extraction (Ripping). Copies audio tracks from CDs to digital file formats such as MP3, WMA, or OGG. The feature automatically identifies track titles via an online database and preserves the original playlist order.
• Backup and Recovery. Performs backups of files and folders to optical discs, USB drives, or external hard drives. Incremental backups only save changes made since the last operation. Includes a function to restore the backed-up data.
• Scratch Protection. Adds recovery data to burned discs. This system allows information to be read even if the media suffers superficial physical surface damage.
• Cover Design. Designs and prints covers, disc labels, and inserts for all common media formats. The tool includes predefined templates and editable graphic elements.
• Secure Data Erasure. Overwrites the content of rewritable discs (CD-RW, DVD-RW) to permanently and irrecoverably delete data, complying with secure deletion standards.
• Project Management. Saves ongoing burning projects to resume work in a later session without losing the configuration or the prepared file selection.
• Mobile Device Backup. Creates backups of data stored on smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras connected to the system, facilitating transfer to long-term archival media.
