3.4 Procedure for writing CDs
There are
two procedures for creating and writing your CDs.
Mastering Packet Writing
3.4.1 The Mastering procedure
is a process for creating data CDs and Audio CDs. Data is compiled onto a "Master
CD" in one (single session) or several (multisession) writing procedures. During
these procedures, the data is made compatible according to various industry
standards, allowing for example audio CDs to be read by any CD player. The
standards for new technology (for CD, video etc.) are prepared for data storage
in special readable formats. Special programs such as "Easy CD Creator",
"WinOnCD", "CEQuadrat ToGo!", "Nero Burning ROM" are necessary to convert
data into these specified formats. These types of programs are necessary for
writing data CDs in ISO 9660 and Joliet formats as well as for writing audio CDs,
Mixed Mode CDs and Photo CDs.
Note: Data CDs in Joliet format are only readable under Windows 95, 98,
ME, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP.
