3.4.2 The Packet Writing procedure
can be used to create CDs without starting a special mastering program. The
Packet Writing procedure allows you to use blank CDs in combination with the
Universal Disc Format (UDF), simular to an additional hard disk or floppy disk.
You can write files directly from any Windows application to the CD using the
same procedure as when writing to the hard disk. You can also copy files to the
CD using Windows explorer.
Note: We recommend using the software which has been provided with
your drive. If you wish to use other software, please find out from the
supplier whether his products support the Freecom FX-5 CD-RW / Combo
CD-RW / DVD.
Following the installation of the software, you can start the writing procedure
by simply dragging the file to be written in the Explorer/File Manager (
Drag&Drop
Principle), assuming there is a UDF-formatted blank disk in your CD-RW drive.
A CD-R disk can only be written once with the CD-R drive and previously written
files can be deleted but not overwritten. The great advantage of the CD-RW
drive in conjunction with CD-RW media is that it allows you to rewrite to the
media.
Note: Please note that the mastering procedure and the packet writing
procedure can only be used seperately, therefore a mixing of these
procedures on one CD-RW is not possible.
3.5 Peculiarities when writing audio CDs
Please note that some older CD player models cannot read self-written CDs.
Note: Audio files must have the proper format (stereo, 16 bit and 44.1
kHz sampling frequency) and must be supported by the CD recording
software, for example, *.wav. Some programs offer conversion functions.
Soundcards and the software that come with them can also be used.
