Adjusting Recorder Parameters
CD-ROM
Select a Recorder out of a list of all
Recorders available in the system.
The following six checkboxes
indicate which functions are
supported by the selected Recorder.
Functions not supported by the
selected Recorder will be displayed
in gray. (Inactive)
Speed
Here the burner speed is defined.
MAX adjusts the speed to the
maximum possible on the selected
Recorder. Decrease the speed if
you frequently receive errors
caused by the performance of your
system, or the used media.
Record Track-at-once
Track-at-once (TAO) is a writing method that for
once (similar to disc-at-once) burns single session
discs, and for the other (mainly) can be used to
create multi session discs – which would actually
not be able with DAO per definition. With TAO the
laser will be switched off after writing each
particular track, moved to the PMA to update the
temporary table of contents, repositioned to the
end point of the previously burned track, and
switched back on to continue.
Record Disc-at-once
Disc at Once is the writing method of choice when
creating professional Audio-CDs and masters for
commercial mass production. With this method a
CD will be burned within one single session, and
then closed. The laser writes without interruption
the Lead-in with the table of contents, all tracks,
and eventually the Lead-out. (This explains why
a unusable through write interruption disc appears
to be containing all tracks, even if the mistake
occurred during the first track. The table of
contents has been written first, thus the player
"thinks" the listed tracks are really on the media.)
Record MCN and ISRCs
The ISRC-Code ("Inter national Standard
Recording Code") identifies a recording (in
general this means a track). In principal therefor
every track of a CD should have a ISRC code,
which identifies it uniquely. This protocol is only
mastered by newer CD burners.
Record CD Text
A procedure developed by Sony® and Phillips®.
With CD text audio players of the newest
generation are capable of displaying name of
artist, name of current title, and even annotations.
The information of the ID3 tag will be added onto
the media, if the Recorder supports this function
