Making Data Discs Using DirectCD
■ Close to UDF v.1.5: This closes the session, but leaves the
CD in UDF v.1.5 format. You can read this CD on computers
that have one of the following configurations:
■ CD-R or CD-RW drive with DirectCD 5.0 installed.
■ CD-R or CD-RW drive with a UDF v.1.5–compatible
reader installed. When you make a CD using DirectCD, it
automatically copies the UDF Reader for Windows to the
CD. When you insert the CD into a drive, the reader will
automatically ask if you want to install it.
■ Most CD-ROM drives with a UDF v.1.5–compatible
reader installed. When you make a CD using DirectCD, it
automatically copies the UDF Reader for Windows to the
CD. When you insert the CD into a CD-ROM drive, the
reader will automatically ask if you want to install it.
■ Close to Read on Any Computer: This closes the CD to the
ISO 9660 standard. CD-ROM drives under Windows and
other operating systems, such as Unix, Linux, and
Macintosh, can read the CD. No reader is needed to read the
CD.

CD-R Eject Options on page 62.
