Session-at-Once (SAO)

This mode is used when writing each session in a single pass without pausing. More

sessions can be added later if there is enough space left on the disc.

n With CD-Extra, the audio is written in the first session and the data is written in the second.

A maximum of 99 tracks can be written.

Packet Writing

This mode is used when writing to a track of a disc using small blocks of data called

“packets,” in a manner similar to a floppy disk. This mode is useful when making small

incremental backups of data. You will need to use software which specifically supports

packet writing, such as Adaptec’s DirectCD.

n Discs must be formatted before they can be used for packet writing. With CD-RW, erased data

can be overwritten until the disc is completely full.

With CD-R, the space used by the erased data cannot be reused and is “masked” so that it is

no longer visible. This can be done up to 100 times.
