4 COREL QUICKDROP USER GUIDE
Welcome to Corel QuickDrop
QuickDrop provides a simple solution to directly burn a variety of discs as well as
play and edit media. Simply drag and drop files and folders onto the interface.
Thus, you can save time and effort for a more productive digital life with your
computer.
Running QuickDrop
Click the QuickDrop icon on your Start menu.
Run QuickDrop from the program folder.
QuickDrop automatically opens during Windows startup. (You can change this by
clearing Auto load when Windows starts in Preferences.)
Introduction to the workspace
The main interface is where you drag and drop files and/or folders to burn. The
Burn button is enabled only when you have dropped at least one file or folder onto
the interface. Required/Available Disc Space shows the size of free space
needed and the available space on the disc. Choose to burn a Data disc, Audio disc
or Video disc in the Output Disc Format menu. Data disc produces a data disc
output. Creating a data disc with UDF 1.5 format allows you to cover a file size over
4GB. Audio disc produces a music disc output such as audio CD and MP3 Disc.
Notes:
When burning an MP3 disc, all kinds of files can be dropped to the
interface, but only MP3 files will be burned.
When burning an Audio disc, audio files less than 5 seconds may be
added but not burned.
