Appendix D: Supported Formats For Duplicating

Originally designed for audio use the Compact Disc (CD) evolved quickly and now
employs a wide variety of formats for audio, data and multimedia applications. The
following is a list of the most popular formats currently supported for duplicating by the
DIRECTOR. Periodic software updates will be made available to deal with new formats
as they appear. To obtain the latest version of software contact your MediaFORM reseller
or download the update from the MediaFORM web site: http://www.mediaform.com
Many CD formats are international or industry standards but variations on them may
emerge from time to time. Should you encounter a disc (which does not employ a copy
protection scheme) that you cannot duplicate on your DIRECTOR, MediaFORM will do
its best to promptly add support for this format. Dealing with custom formats, however,
may be subject to a development charge.
Keeping track of how the various formats relate to each other can be confusing. For
example, the DIRECTOR can duplicate all CD-ROM Mode 1 discs - this includes ISO
9660, HFS, Hybrid, Rock Ridge and many other types of file systems. The DIRECTOR
will most likely duplicate CD formats not listed in the table below. If you require further
assistance please contact MediaFORM 's technical support department at (610) 458-9200
