Building a system

[Guest]

Just building my first system, and have never burned CD's before. Where is a good place to find info on what is needed for burning CD?

Tom's place had an intro to burning. Once you've read through that, head to <A HREF="http://www.cdrinfo" target="_new">http://www.cdrinfo</A> for the indepth stuff. <A HREF="http://www.gamecopyworld.com" target="_new">http://www.gamecopyworld.com</A> and <A HREF="http://www.cdmediaworld.com" target="_new">http://www.cdmediaworld.com</A> have some faq's on the actual disks and how they are made. You'll get confused if you go to cdrinfo first, so check out Tom's article.

The actual name brand of the media, or technically the actual manufacturing plant that created the dye and cdr, makes a significant difference. Also pay attention, when you get the chance, to Mode1/2, Form 1/2, Ascii/Joliet/Romeo.

Burning a disk Mode2, Form2 might wreck your day/week/friggin-fiscial-year.
