Is CD-R compatible with DVD-ROM?
Hier finden Sie die aktuellen Infos zur DVD TechnologieSometimes. The problem is that CD-Rs (Orange Book Part II) are "invisible" to DVD laser wavelength because the dye used in CD-Rs doesn't reflect the beam. Some first-generation DVD-ROM drives and many DVD players can't read CD-Rs. The common solution is to use two lasers at different wavelengths: one for reading DVDs and the other for reading CDs and CD-Rs.

The problem is that CD-Rs (Orange Book Part II) are "invisible" to the wavelength of laser required by DVD, because the dye used in CD-Rs doesn't reflect the laser beam. Supposedly there will be new CD-R2 blanks that will work with CD-ROM and DVD. A better solution, announced by Sony, is a twin-laser pickup in which one laser is used for reading DVDs and the other for reading CDs and CD-Rs. This provides complete backwards compatibility with millions of CD-R discs.Related Questions

DVD FAQ - DVD-CopyIn general, no. Current DVD players do not play CD-i (Green Book) discs. Philips once announced that it would make a DVD player that supported CD-i, but it has yet to appear. Some people expect Philips to create a "DVD-i" format in attempt to breathe a little more life into CD-i (and recover a bit more of the billion or so dollars they invested in it). A DVD-ROM PC with a CD-i card should be able to play CD-i discs.Related Questions

Hier finden Sie die aktuellen Infos zur DVD TechnologieNot yet. Since Photo CDs are usually on CD-R media, they may suffer from the CD-R problem (see 2.4.3). That aside, DVD players could support Photo CD with a few extra chips and a license from Kodak. No one has announced such a player. Most DVD-ROM drives will read Photo CDs (if they read CD-Rs) since it's trivial to support the XA and Orange Book multisession standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About CDA CD-R is manufactured as a blank disc and the data is written at a later stage using your CD writer. The data is held within a special dye layer which is burned using a laser to create 'pits' and 'lands' which are read by your CD drive and converted to digital 1s and 0s. A CD-ROM is manufactured with the data already on it - the pits and lands are pressed into the polycarbonate base using a 'stamper'.
