GEAR PRO CD/DVD Mastering software - Page 06

Other

If we had to describe all the sessions of Gear software we would need pages and pages. The method is almost the same for other project such as CD-ROM(ISO), DVD_ROM(ISO), add new sessions to CD etc. If you have difficulties or questions, Gear provides you with very helpful and analytical guide of 215 pages(!), where everything is describing in simple words. Don't hesitate to consult it.

However we detect some things that we would like to be fixed. While the writing procedure with several DVD media, there is a current writing speed which always is 4x for DVD+R and DVD-R and 2x with their RW respectively, no matter what speed is supported by the disc*. Of course the disc is burning under its supported speed. Although you can adjust the CDR speed you cannot do the same with the DVDR one.

Another important issue is that you should increase the buffer size for writing in case you want to run in the same time other applications, otherwise you 'll have problem. By increasing the buffer size things will became better.

As we can see from the manufacturers specifications about the program, we must say again that it is an complete program which does almost everything. We personally recommend it. The program is available in Gear's online store at the price of $749.00.
