  • CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM Drives) Are the Hardware Devices That Read Computer Data from Disks
    A Brief History of CD/DVD The first disc that could be written and read by optical means (using light as a medium) was developed by James T. Russell. In the late 1960s, Russell created a system that recorded, stored, and played audio/video data using light rather than the traditional contact methods, which could easily damage the disks during playback. Russell developed a photosensitive disc that stored data as 1 micron-wide dots of light and dark. The dots were read by a laser, converted to an electrical signal, and then to audio or visual display for playback. Russell's own company manufactured the first disc player in 1980, although the technology never reached the marketplace until Philips and Sony developed the technology. In late 1982, Philips and Sony released the first of the compact disc (CD) formats, which they then called CD-DA (digital audio). In the years since, format has followed format as the original companies and other industry members developed more adaptations of the original specifications. Digital Versatile disc (DVD) had its beginning in 1994, when two formats, Super disc (SD) and Multimedia CD (MMCD) were introduced. Promoters of the competing technologies failed to reach an agreement on a single standard until 1996, when DVD was selected as a convergence format. DVD has, in the few years since, grown to include variations that do anything that CD does, and more efficiently. Standardization and compatibility issues aside, DVD is well-placed to supplant CD. Magnetic vs Optical Media Optical media are storage media that hold information in digital form and that are written and read by a laser; these media include all the various CD and DVD variations, as well as optical jukeboxes and autochangers.

  • R97-1999 Exchange of Sound Programmes As BWF Files on CD
    EBU Technical Recommendation R97-1999 Exchange sound programmes as BWF files on recordable EBU data discs (CD-R(recordable), CD-RW(rewritable) and UER DVD-R) EBU Committee First Issued Revised Re-issued PMC 1999 Keywords: Audio recording, audio file formats The EBU has standardised the BWF file format for sound programme material [1]. Recordable optical data discs such as CD-R and DVD-R have many attractive features for the exchange of such sound programme files. However, several different recording formats already exist for these media, and not all are readable on all computer platforms. Therefore, for the time being, the prior agreement of the recipient organisation should be obtained before sound programme material is exchanged in this form. Recently a Universal Disc Format (UDF)1 [2, 3] has been specified by the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA), and is now the standard format used for DVD-R and other types of Optical Disc Storage. It can also be used for CD-R. However, in the past, the older ISO 9660 disc format has been used for CD-ROMs and many older players are not able to read the UDF format. For this reason, although the EBU would like to encourage the use of the UDF, it recognises that it as yet too early to recommend its universal use for programme exchange. The EBU recommends, that if CD-R and DVD-R data discs2 are used as a support for exchange of programme material as audio files, with the prior agreement of the recipient organisation, they should conform to the following requirements.
