Audiota poltettaessa, on mahdollista valita asetuksista DAO/TAO? Mitä tarkoittaa?

[pimeys]

Disc-at-once ja track-at-once muistaakseni. Liittynee siis siihen, kirjoitetaanko koko levy kerralla vai jokainen raita erikseen.

[Mac_Veikka]

Mitä käytännön eroa? Selitätkö lisää?

[pimeys]

En ole asiaan kummemmin perehtynyt, kun melko harvoin edes poltan ääntä sellaisenaan levylle. En rupea veikkaamaan, joten joku asiaan paremmin perehtynyt selittäköön.

[pimeys]

Äh, piti sitten penkoa selitys netin syövereistä.

Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc, i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step. The commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track independently which requires link blocks between two tracks. Older CD-recorder models forced a two second pause (pre-gap) between two tracks whereas newer models allow adjusting of the pause length in TAO mode reducing the number of link blocks to a minimal amount. However, with TAO it is generally not possible to define the data that is written in pre-gaps. But exactly this feature makes audio CD recording interesting, e.g. by creating hidden bonus tracks or track intros in pre-gaps like it is common habit on commercial CDs. 
Finally, DAO recording is the only way to write data to the unused R-W sub-channels for e.g.  CD-G or CD-TEXT.
