When using the Mixed Mode CD format, the first session can contain up to 98 audio tracks and second session contains the data track. Mixed Mode CDs can also be created in this area. We liked the ability to store large amounts of data onto DVD (4.7 GB on single layer and 8.5 GB on dual layer discs).

This is particularly useful for backing up large amounts of important data onto disc. The Data programs provide users with the ability to create CD or DVD data discs.


An NTI Wave Editor and Audio Player are included in the package. CD Extra discs can be created using the simple interface. Users can also record Live Audio directly to disc. This helps the user know the exact space required when making a CD. The MP3 application has a capacity indicator at the lower area of the window that lets the user know how much space is used on the disc as it fills up with files. The Audio programs are used to create WAV, MP3 or WMA music CDs. The package also includes a QuickStart Guide that briefly explains how to use each of the various applications included with this suite of programs. Each of the three items listed in the install menu must be installed separately or they will not be enabled in the main menu. The software comes on a single install CD. In both cases, the installation was simple and went without a hitch. Since our laptop lacked a DVD burner, we also tested the software on our Sony Vaio (PCV-RZ22G) desktop machine, which gave us more resources. The installation menu allows users to install CD & DVD-Maker™ 7, Home Video-Maker and NTI's DVD Playback software separately. We first installed the software on our Sony VAIO Laptop (PCV-K23) to check out some of the features. The CD & DVD-Maker™ 7 Titanium Suite software comes on a single CD and automatically launches the main install menu when inserted into a computer. This could very well be one of the best deals available for multimedia users. The categories are Audio, Data, Video, Photo, Backup or Copy. By simply moving the cursor over the area of interest, several options available to the user will be displayed. The main user interface provides access to all of the applications from a single screen. Full support for dual layer DVD burners is also included. Tools for backing up files as well as backing up unprotected discs are provided. The new suite of products simplify video capture, editing, still picture compilation and burning of CD and DVD media. NTI has been around since 1993 and continues to offer a variety of powerful CD/DVD recording, authoring and backup applications. NTI CD and DVD Maker (NewTech Infosystems, Inc.) have released their new CD & DVD-Maker™ 7 Titanium Suite which includes nine programs (CD & DVD-Maker Platinum™, Home Video-Maker™, Backup NOW!®, DVD Playback software, DVD Fit™, FileCD™, Jewelcase Maker™, Wave Editor™ and Music Cafe™).
