Jitter Control
Many CD-ROM devices are not able to read a single sector of an audio disc. The
results are little gaps due to the difference in the data stream. Jitter correction
synchronizes the data stream by overlapping the sectors and therefore no gaps are
created.
Joliet
Microsoft created standard for filenames that was made for Windows 95 and NT. It
supports up to 64 characters in the filename, unicode character set, and DOS 8.3
(eight characters in the main filename with a 3 character extension) names.
Label
Most CDs are provided with an imprint. This is known as the label. It is possible to
place it on the CD with different technologies, for example, with screen printing.
Lead-In Area
The initial area of every session is known as the Lead-In Area at the beginning of
the disc. This is where the “table of contents” for your disc and additional
information concerning the CD is stored.
Lead-Out Area
This defines the closing stages of a session and is place at the end of the disc. If
the CD has not yet been finalized, the reference to the next session is stored here.
Mixed Mode
This format combines both data and audio onto the CD. With this format, the data
is recorded first and the audio tracks second. However, both are recorded in one
session.
Mode 1/ Mode :
Nero normally writes ISO data in the CD sector format Mode 1. However Nero
also supports the so-called XA-Format for ISO data. The XA format is an
extension of ISO structures and can only be burned onto the CD in Mode 2
(another CD sector format).
Multisession
When data is written to the CD more than once. After you have written your first
session to the CD, you can then add/write additional information with a different
data set.
MP3 Files (with the extension of .MP3)
The MP3 audio format has established itself as the most frequently used format to
transfer audio data via the internet. MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using
MP3, audio files can be reduced (or compressed) to a fraction of their orginal size
(factor 1:10), without diminishing the quality.
