Some useful
information about MDs
∫ Recording MDs
MDs are different to tapes
MDs give you control over how tracks are
recorded and editing functions allow you to
change the contents of an MD after record-
ing. Unlike cassettes, it is not necessary to
find an empty portion to record onto. All
recordings start from the first available
space. The MD fills up and when the disc is
full, either because the time limit has been
reached or 254 tracks have been recorded,
recording is no longer possible. You can use
the editing functions to erase and move your
recordings around within the MD.
∫ Limitations on digital record-
ing
The serial copy management
(SCMS) prevents unlimited recording of digi-
tal material.
Digital recordings are of high quality, but to
protect the rights of the producer of the origi-
nal material, it is only possible to make one
digital recording of a digital recording. This
also applies if you record analogue material
digitally. That digital recording can be record-
ed digitally once more, but is blocked after
that.
Analogue recordings are otherwise unaffect-
ed.
∫ Glossary of terms
