TV sets), or 16:10 (widescreen flat screens, widescreen notebooks), 3:2 for 35
mm films and photos. In cinemas you mostly find 1.85:1
Red Book
Specific standards have been established for the different CD types in order to
unify their data structure and to make them compatible with the different CD
drives. Their names refer to the color of the books where these standards
were written.
The term "Red Book" is common language for the Compact Disc Audio
Standard. The requirements listed here have to be observed for industrial CP
production. Audio CD players only read CDs created according to the Red
Book format. It is therefore necessary to first convert PC files into this format
before writing them onto an audio disc compatible with any audio CD player.

Restoration of files originating from a backup will be called "Restoring".
