Live File System writes files immediately to the recordable disc, making it a
one-step process like copying files to a flash drive. The resulting disc is
compatible with Windows XP and later versions of Windows.
Mastered copies files to a temporary folder before you tell your notebook to
burn the files to the disc. Although this is a slower process than Live File System,
the resulting disc is compatible with all operating systems.
