After running B's Recorder GOLD, even when I put a CD-ROM disc into DVD+RW drive nothing will appear on Windows Explorer.
While the drive is used by B's Recorder GOLD as a recorder, the drive will not appear on Windows Explorer.
This is a specification of the software, the drive will appear again after you quit B's Recorder Gold.
When you are going to copy a disc and the PC does not have another CD-ROM drive, it is better to use the 'CD Back-up' function. This allows you to make copies even if you have only one DVD+RW/CD-RW drive by creating an image file on the computer's HDD. |

The eject button will not work with B's CLiP media. How can I eject the disc?
This is a specification of B's CLiP. You can eject the disc using the software.
Right-mouse click on the B's CLiP icon on Task Bar, and choose Eject. |

The LED of the drive is blinking all the time, after I format a DVD+RW disc with B's CLiP. Is that OK?
There is no problem. This is a feature of DVD+RW formatting with the B's CLiP software, it will last only about one minute, then it will allow you to use the DVD+RW disc. Because the formatting actually continues in the background while the drive is not used, the LED continues to blink during the process.
Even while the LED is blinking you will be able to eject the disc anytime you want. |

Can a CD-R/DVD+R disc be used with the B's CLiP software?
No, a CD-R/DVD+R disc cannot be used with B's CLiP.
This is a specification of the software. Please use CD-RW media or DVD+RW media for packet writing.
If you are using CD-R/DVD+R media, it will be better to write using B's Recorder GOLD. |

Support for the Multi-read function by the CD/DVD-ROM drive. |

After erasing a DVD+RW disc with B's GOLD, Windows Explorer shows the disc has only 1.99 GB free.
It is quite normal that a blank DVD+RW disc appears to have only 1.99 GB free, and this is dependent on the Windows OS. You can check the space free with B's GOLD. Go to [Disc] - [Information], it will show the free space on the disc. |
To Top |
B's CLiP should have asked me to choose an option when I ejected the DVD+RW disc I had just written. However no message appeared.
The reason of the message with some options is because background formatting has not been completed yet.
After background formatting is completed, it is normal that no message appears while ejecting a DVD+RW disc. |
