Disc Types & Video Recording

Formats

This section describes the different disc types and disc formats that

you can use in CyberLink PowerProducer.

Disc Types

In broad terms, discs are divided into CD (which, being the earlier

technology, is more widely supported) and DVD (which holds many

times the amount of content, but requires a different drive).

Following is a brief description of the different disc types supported

by CyberLink PowerProducer.

Multisession Discs

Multisession discs allow you to append additional data after the

original burning session. PowerProducer creates a multisession disc

whenever you burn a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, or DVD+R disc and

choose not to close or finalize the disc. Therefore, you can continue to

add content to a multisession disc until the disc is full or closed, at

which point you can no longer append any further data.

CD Types

CDs contain up to 74/80 minutes of high quality video or 650/700

MB of data.

CD-R

CD-R is a “write once” CD format. CD-RW burners and

most new DVD burners can write in CD-R, and most

DVD players can also read this format.

CD-RW

CD-RW is an erasable CD format. CD-RW burners and

most new DVD burners can write in CD-RW, and most

DVD players can also read this format.
