How to Make a CD G From Downloads

Have CDs made for your next karaoke night.

A CD-G is a compact disc with a video graphic accompaniment. This is commonly used with karaoke discs so individuals can follow the moving lyrics of the song. However, a standard CD or DVD burning program is not capable of burning such a CD from downloaded files. In order to create the CD-G you must have a specific karaoke burning program installed on the computer.

Instructions

Using Power CD-G Burner

1. Download and install Power CD-G Burner from powerkaraoke.com. This is one of a few programs available for public use that is capable of creating a CD-G.

2. Launch the software, then choose "Add" from the right side of the program screen. A browse window appears on the screen. Select the files you want to upload to the karaoke CD and click "OK."

3. Click "Burn" in the lower left corner of the screen to create the CD-G and the program begins to burn the CD. Because there are video files attached the actual burn process takes longer than creating a standard audio CD. Once finished the CD automatically ejects from the CD player.

Using Microstudio

1. Download and install the Microstudio software onto your computerf from MTU.com.

2. Launch the Microstudio software. Double-click the desktop icon to load the program.

3. Select "File," "Open" and choose the karaoke file you want to burn to the CD. Repeat this process for every file you want to burn onto the CD.

4. Insert the blank CD into the disc burner on your computer. Close out any autoplay windows that appear.

5. Click "Record" on the right side of the program screen and the CD-G is created.
