CD/DVD-ROM Generator Ver.2.00 
 
From this version of the CD/DVD-ROM Generator, DVD for General media can be
written with the Pioneer DVD-R/RW writer DVR-A07-J (Drive name: DVR-107D). 
Following this change, master discs can now be generated with DVD for 
General media supporting 8x write speed.

Other changes and additions are as follows:

- A function for adding dummy data to the outermost area of DVD-ROM 
  master discs has been added.

- Writing and verifying DVD-ROM master discs "on the fly" is now supported.

- There is now no limit on the speed when writing or verifying CD-ROM 
  master discs "on the fly".

- Master discs targeting mainland China can now be generated.

Master discs can still be generated with earlier versions if none of these 
additional functions is required.
