Hi Folks,
Does anyone know of an on-line reference which summarises the technical aspects of writing CDs (CD-R and CD-RW)?
The reason is that CD-RW software tends to ask you to make choices, using terms which I don't think I understand well enough, and I'd like to have a little "bible" which tells ma all about it, at least in summary.
With thanks, Ted.

Google found this page:
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/...
And Microsoft have some technical stuff about the 'El Torito' spec for bootable CDs, e.g. at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;167685
How much use that is generally I can't tell...

Try http://www.cdrfaq.org/ - I've found it useful in the past.
To extend the topic, if you're interested in DVD technology, there's also http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html which covers CD/DVD compatibility issues.
