R
RAM (Random Access Memory)
This is a hardware component of a computer. RAM is needed to temporarily
save files. This type of storage is erased when the computer is shut down or
reset. The larger this storage is, the faster you can work with programs to
change and save files.
Ratio:
The aspect ratio is the ratio between the height and width of a rectangle. In
practice these are photos, screens or projection screens. This method can
also be used to describe the aspect ratio of pixels.
Here are some examples of typical aspect ratios: at home 4:3, 16:9 (typical
for 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.
Restore
Restoration of files originating from a backup will be called "Restoring".
