EZ-DUB Feature:


How does it work?

As easy as 1-2-3:

The EZ-DUB Software CD:

 

The 'DUB" option:


Let us start with trying out the 'DUB" option. We pressed the 'DUB" button and we got the following screen:

Here we got the option to choose the source drive, and we selected the BenQ DW1655 and clicked 'OK".

A warning/note, we clicked 'YES"

The program asked us to insert the source disc

And then to insert a blank disc in the EZ-DUB drive

We clicked 'OK" and the duplication 'On-The-Fly" started immediately

Almost done

The 'On-The-Fly" duplication was successfully and the program asked us if we wanted additional copies.

One-Drive Copy mode:

Now, let us try without the 'On-The-Fly mode":

We unchecked the 'DUB On-The-Fly" option in the EZ-DUB program

A small note

The program asked us to insert the source disc in the EZ-DUB drive

The drive started to read the disc, writing it was a image on the PC

Almost done

Next, the program asked us to insert a blank disc into the EZ-DUB drive

Writing process started (image from PC to the EZ-DUB drive)

Writing process almost done

The duplication was successfully and the program asked us if we wanted additional copies.

 

The 'FILE" option:


Now, let us try out the 'FILE" option. We pressed the 'FILE" button and we got the following screen:

The program shows up the steps how to 'Drag-And-Drop" desired files to the EZ-DUB home icon. The EZ-DUB home icon shows us 3 different zones (CD-Disc, DVD Disc and DVD DL Disc) indicating how much space it used. Let us start to drag and drop some files to the EZ-DUB home icon:

A new step popped up, telling us to press the 'FILE" button again to start burning the files we have dragged and dropped on the EZ-DUB home Icon. We can also see that the EZ-DUB home icon indicates that we have filled the home icon up with files that will fit on a CD-R Disc. We dragged some more files to the EZ-DUB home icon:

Now the EZ-DUB home icon greyed out the CD-Disc indicator and continued on the DVD-Disc zone, it also display the filled size in MBs. Let us drag and drop some more files:

As we can see, the EZ-DUB home icon greyed out the DVD-Disc area and continued onto the DVD DL Disc zone. But let us go back to and fill the EZ-DUB home icon with files that will fit on a CD-R:

As we can see we have filled up the ES-DUB icon with files with a total size of 531 MB. Let us insert a blank CD-R into the EZ-DUB drive and press the 'FILE" button to start the writing process: 

The EZ-DUB home icon changed the inner colour from blue to black (indicating writing/busy mode). Another window popped up - indicating the writing progress.

The writing progress reached 100% and the program reported that the Operation was successfully completed.

 

Advanced Options:


 

By clicking on the 'Advanced Option" area on the EZ-DUB Icon, we get the following menu:

Here we can:

  • View and manage the Cached Files (that we dragged and dropped into the EZ-DUB home Icon).
  • Empty the Cached files
  • Change the Cached Directory
  • Turn on and off the 'DUB On-The Fly" option
  • Erase a disc
  • Finalize a disc
  • Edit the label name
  • Minimize the Program to the Taskbar
  • EZ-DUB Help
  • About EZ-DUB
  • About
  • Exit

Let us take a look at some of the advanced options. (These options will not be commented as they are self explaining).

Will EZ-Dub work with audio CD's? If it does, do they have to be unprotected or will it make backups that will not be affected by at least some of the audio CD protections?
