The original disc in the drive is copied immediately without any time delay to the blank disc in the recorder. The on-the-fly method allows you to copy discs very quickly, and does not require any additional space on the disc. In order to be able to use the on-the-fly method, you will need at least two drives: one for reading the disc and a disc burner for writing. The following requirements apply to the read drive and disc burner: The disc burner must feature buffer underrun protection, or the drive must be capable of delivering the data sufficiently quickly. The read speed should be at least twice as fast as the write speed. The read drive must be capable of delivering information on the number and type of sessions, otherwise Nero StartSmart may not be able to produce an exact copy. If you want to copy Audio CDs, we recommend the copy image method because the quality of the read audio files can suffer depending on the drive.

The image file is then burned to a blank disc. Copying using copy over image takes longer, but it often produces better results. You must have sufficient storage space to use the copy over image method. The copy over image method is particularly suitable in the following situations: 5. 5 Only one drive is available. You would like to make several copies of the same disc. You think it likely that read errors may have occurred on the source CD (for example because it is scratched). You attach importance to the best possible reproduction (particularly in relation to index positions and the quality of Audio CDs).
