Completing a typical task 31
Completing a typical task
Each task in Creator is a little different. Some are incredibly simple. Others
take a little time to master. To help you get started, let’s walk though one of
the most useful projects—creating a disc that contains files copied from
your computer.
1Open Creator by double-clicking the icon that was placed on your
computer desktop during installation. In most cases, the main Creator
application window opens with the Home category selected. It looks
something like this:
The Home window includes links to frequently used tasks.
On the left side of the window, you will see the names of several
project categories. Since we are going to be making a data disc, click
the Data-Copy category.
The application window changes and displays a set of tasks that are
related to protecting or copying the valuable files stored on your
computer.

2When you are ready, click Burn Data Disc.
The Burn Data Disc project link in the Data - Copy window
In the illustration above, a link for the Burn Data Disc project appears
in the suggested projects area near the top of the window and again in
the Create section.
After clicking either link, the application window changes again. It
now displays everything you need to set up your project and burn a
disc.
Burn Data Disc project window with files added.
As you can see, the Burn Data Disc project is built into the main
Creator application window, which we call Roxio Home. Some
projects are built into Roxio Home; others open in a separate window.
Many components that open in separate windows have names you
may know: MyDVD, VideoWave, CinePlayer. They are all part of your
Creator suite.
C13_UserGuide.book Page 32 Wednesday, June 9, 2010 4:11 PM

Completing a typical task 33
3To begin a data disc project, insert a blank CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc
into your computer’s disc drive. (The project also allows you to add
files to an existing data disc, but to keep things simple for this project,
use a blank disc.)
4Use the Destination drop-down menu to select the drive holding your
blank disc. If your computer only has one disc drive, it is selected
automatically.
Click the Destination menu and choose from the list of available
drives.
5Now you are going to add files to the project.
Click the Add button located near the top of the Burn Data Disc
project window. Choose Files or Folder from the submenu.
A dialog window opens. Use it to select the files or folders you would
like to add.
Use the toolbars to open the Quick Scan panel, add files, open
saved projects, and delete files from a project.
6Near the Add button on the project window toolbar is the Name Your
Disc text box. Enter a name for your disc, so it will be easy to recognize
the next time you use it.
While you are using the project toolbars, notice that they include some
other useful features:
■The retractable Quick Scan panel makes it easy to select files by
category.
C13_UserGuide.book Page 33 Wednesday, June 9, 2010 4:11 PM

34
■To the right of the Add button is the Projects button that you can
use to easily find saved projects.
■Next to that is the Make Bootable button. Use it to create a
bootable disc that can be used to start your computer if
something should ever go wrong with the Windows operating
system.
Before burning your data disc, look along the bottom of the project
window. Here you can find several project status indicators. The
information presented varies from project to project and is updated
when you change discs or destination drives.
Project information is displayed along the bottom of the window.
In this case, the indicator shows the project size, the type of disc in the
drive, and the available disc space.
7Now you are ready to burn a disc. To begin, click the large green
button on the bottom right corner of the project window. A progress
indicator appears, and your files are copied onto the disc.
The progress indicator shows a burn in progress.
You don’t have to wait for this project to finish before starting one of
the other projects in Roxio Creator. But you can only have one project
of each type running at a time.
When the project is finished, remove your disc and click Finish. If you
would like to save this project so the same file set can be easily burned
in the future, click the File menu and choose Save.

Managing your media files
Getting to know the Media Manager window 41
Media Manager offers the following views to help you easily access and
organize the media files on your computer and connected devices:
■My Media
This view shows your Smart Views, playlists, and albums.
Smart Views are media file groupings automatically created and
maintained by Media Manager, based on characteristics such as media
type, date, and keyword, so you can find your media files more easily.
Playlists are groups of audio files that you create and manage yourself.
You can use playlists to group files you want to listen to, burn to a CD,
or sync to an audio device.
Albums are media file groupings that you create and manage yourself.
You can use albums to group media files from vacations, events, or
special occasions.
For more information on using the My Media view, see Working with
My Media on page 42.
■Folders
Your files are organized into folders for easy access. The Folders view
shows you the media files stored in Windows folders on your
computer storage devices, including the hard disk and removable
storage devices such as CDs or DVDs.
The Folders view is very similar to Windows Explorer, both in how it
looks and in how you use it, except that you only see media files
supported by Roxio products.
For more information, see Working w ith folders on page 50.
■My Devices
Using Media Manager, you can view digital media on compatible
wireless devices, such as mobile phones. The My Devices view shows
you all detected devices, and allows you to browse the media files on
these devices.
