Nero Express Glossary • 110
High Sierra
The forerunner of today's ISO Standard 9660. It was published in 1986. During the
course of time it has lost its significance.
Host Adapter
An adapter which connects a CD-burner with the SCSI bus of the computer.
Hybrid-CD
A hybrid CD contains data in the HFS (Mac) section and in the ISO 9660 (PC)
section. If the disc is inserted in a Macintosh, only the data relevant for the
Macintosh is displayed and on a PC, only the ISO data can be seen.
Image
The term "image" describes all edited data which will later be located on a CD. The
creation of an image file is known as premastering.
Image Copy
One of two different copying methods can be selected: Image Copy or Copy On-
The-Fly.
Nero reads-in the files to be written on the disc and saves these as an image file
on the hard disk. The image file means that copying errors can be eliminated.
These errors could occur if you use a slow hard disk or a slow CD-ROM/DVD drive
as the CD burner would not be supplied with a continuous data flow.
However, please note that up to 800MB will be required on the hard disk and the
copying times are somewhat longer.
Interlaced Video
This format displays video in two parts: Each part displays and contains a line in
every other row and the second part fills in the alternating rows until the screen is
complete. This method is faster than the Progressive Scan in which all rows are
displayed one at a time until the screen is complete.
Interleaving
This is the designation for the storage of computer data on the CD-ROM/ XA in
linked form. Another term here is nesting. This makes possible the synchronization
of audio and computer data during playback.
ISO 9660
A universal standard for CD’s as defined by the High Sierra standard that defines a
disc’s capabilities. Data can be written onto a disc with this format. This format can
easily be used in many computer environments. If a disc must be able to be read
on various computer systems, then the file name length must be strictly limited –
for instance, names which are used in DOS environments use a maximum of 8
characters – a period – then a 3 character extension such as 12345678.ext as an
example.
