CD-R/DVD: Disc Recording Demystified

Author: Lee Purcell

Publisher: McGraw-Hill

Date: 2000

Pages: 528

Description:

A-Z guide to data storage for video/audio pros.

Optical recording has become the sturdy workhorse of the digital information revolution. While the CD-ROM world has finally achieved relatively stability, some manufacturers are still pushing the edge of the envelope, embracing higher recording speeds for CD-RW formats and CD-R alike. The quest for the unified field theory of the optical world continues in earnest, with many companies diligently working towards designing a single piece of equipment that will both read and record the vast majority of CD and DVD formats.

This book isn't intended to be a comprehensive reference of the technical aspects of optical recording, but a practical guide to the uses and possibilities of this new technology.
