A method of writing CD-ROM data to a CD-R in smaller increments than a session.
A method for writing data on a CD in small increments. Software such as Adaptec® DirectCD requires packet writing.
Describes a method of adding data incrementally to a disc in small or large quantities called “packets”. It is possible to even record a single file at a time. Unlike previous methods of writing data to CD ( disc-at-once and multisession), packet writing does not waste much time or disc space and there is no arbitrary limit to the number of packets that can be written to a CD.
Track at Once writing is a form of incremental write which mandates a minimum track length and a maximum number of tracks per disc. A track written "at once" has 150 blocks of overhead for run-in, run-out, pre-gap and linking. Packet write, on the other hand, is a method whereby several write events are allowed within a track, thus reducing the overhead. These "packets" are bounded by 7 blocks, 4 for run-in, 2 for run-out and 1 link block. Packets can be of fixed or variable length.
A method for writing data on a CD in small increments. Software such as HotBurn® Pro requires packet writing.
The ability to add data incrementally to a CDRW disc in small or large quantities where a piece of data is referred to as a "packet." (4/99)
The format used for "drag and drop" recording, using an application such as Roxio's Direct CD or other packet writing software. The data is written in fixed or variable size packets, using Link, Run-In, and Run-Out blocks to separate the packets.
A method of writing data on a CD in small increments (contrast with Track-at-Once and Disc-at-Once). Packets can be of fixed or variable length. Adaptec's DirectCD software requires packet writing. For more information.
Refers to software that lets you drag and drop data onto a CD-R or a CD-RW, as if it were a floppy disk, as opposed to using authoring software to burn the disc.
A technique that lets re-writeable optical drives use standard drag-and-drop file techniques, so the disc in the CD-RW drive can be used the same way you would use a 650MB to 700MB floppy disk.
Packet writing is a technology that enables the writing of data to a CD-R incrementally, in multiple small blocks of data, rather than in a single block (as in disk-at-once recording), or in blocks defined by tracks (as in track-at-once recording), the other two common methods. Packet writing software makes it possible for the user to save data to a CD-R or CD-RW in the same way as it would be saved to the hard drive or a floppy.
Packet writing is a method of writing data on a CD in small increments.
Writing data on a disc in small increments instead of all at once.
Packet writing is an optical disc recording technology used to allow writeable CD and DVD media to be used in a similar manner to a floppy disk. Packet writing allows the user to access the contents of a CD-R or CD-RW disc directly through a mounted filesystem (Unix, Linux, Mac OS X) or drive letter (Windows). Without packet writing software, one would have to use regular CD mastering recording software to burn a whole disc.
