3.4 Procedure for writing Disks
There are
two procedures for creating and writing your Disks.
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
norms, 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 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 Windows XP.
