Yes. If you import a CD or DVD that is not recognized by the Kaleidescape Movie Guide or Music Guide Services, then you can use the Web Utility to add your own information. For an unrecognized DVD, such as a home movie, you can list the cast and director, assign genres, write a synopsis and upload cover art. For an unrecognized CD, such as a recorded home performance, you can list the artist, release date, and track names, assign genres, write a review, and upload cover art.

Yes. Once a CD is recognized by the Music Guide Service, you can edit any of the information about the CD (except the artist name) — for example, you can assign different genres. Any information that you edit will not be overwritten by updates to the Kaleidescape Music Guide. Currently, once you have edited the information about a CD, there is no way to revert to the Kaleidescape Music Guide information.

Yes. Writing to CD and DVD discs is supported as long as you have some packet writing software installed on your computer. It usually comes bundled as a part of larger CD / DVD recording software packages and makes your CD or DVD drive act as a standard, transparently write-enabled drive. Packet writing software uses UDF-formatted CD and DVD discs, and allows GRBackPro to write to your CD / DVD drive by treating it like a hard disk or a floppy diskette, using the regular drive letter.

Simply cease to use CD / DVD as a direct target for your backup operations. Set up GRBackPro to run your scheduled events and let it create backups to your hard drive automatically. Every week or month you can copy the backup copies created with GRBackPro to your CD / DVD device manually, with your favorite CD / DVD recording software or Windows XP built-in CD / DVD recording feature. If it's really necessary to run automatic CD / DVD backups, consider buying a good packet-writing tool.

Yes, go to the Internet at www.census.gov. Find your product in the Product Catalog. Compare the release (re-release) date to the date stamped on your CD-ROM or DVD. In the event that there is a re-release of a product, the Customer Services Center will send you the new release at no charge to you. Yes. The Census Bureau has twelve regional offices around the country ready to come to your organization to fill your data needs.

In general, no. Most DVD players will not play CD-i (Green Book) discs. However, Philips has announced that it will make a DVD player that supports CD-i. 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've invested in it).

A DVD or CD changer can play only one DVD movie or audio CD at a time, and it is generally dedicated to one play-back zone in the home. The Kaleidescape System is based on hard-disk technology, which provides very fast, random access to your entire content collection, and makes it possible to use the system simultaneously from multiple play-back zones.

Most DVDs take around 20-25 minutes and most CDs take around 5-10 minutes to import using a Kaleidescape Movie Player or Music Player. The Kaleidescape Speed Reader utilizes two DVD/CD-ROM drives to achieve import speeds of six DVDs or sixteen CDs per hour. Several factors affect import performance. A scratched or dirty disc may take longer to import or it may fail to import altogether.

You may copy a purchased game or guide in its original downloaded format to a CD or DVD for backup storage. However, when you need to re-install the game or guide, be sure to copy the files to your hard-drive.

This is an optical drive that will write both DVDs (Digital Versatile Disk, Data or Video) and CDs. The LightScribe DVD+/-RW / CDRW combination drive can read, write and, using the appropriate media, rewrite a variety DVD and CD media, including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+RW and DVD-RW. DVD+R, DVD-R and CD-R media are compatible with this drive but are a single write media. The DVD+RW, DVD-RW and CD-RW media can be written to multiple times.

CD's cost between US$ 6 and US$ 9, DVD's US$ 6 and US$ 13. But be aware, Brasil supports DVD country code 4 which is not supported in the US/Canada (Code 1) or Europe and Japan (Code 2). Some local productions mainly TV series on DVD's are code free. Once in a while older films are sold codefree as well.

Our licensing agreement only covers content formatted for online consumption. We will not have the right to distribute your music on CD and music video on DVD.

Updated players available in region 4. (1.5) Thanks Andrew! (Yes, I know the other regions are totally out of date.) Attributed GEAR DVD to GEAR Software. Moved MTC's ForDVD utility to the right place (was in 5.4). (5.2)

Accuracy statistics such as percent correct and kappa coefficients are presented statewide in .html format, regression analysis by crop type in .html format, the satellite type and dates of observation, and the sampling and associated Area Frame information. An extensive metadata file is also available, which provides extensive detail about the CDL images.

Hardware changes in the recorders allow the creation of data marks approximately one-half the size of those made on CD-R media. The recording laser's wavelength and the focusing lens'numerical aperture were changed. Additionally, DVD-RAM substrates are injection molded to one-half the thickness of a CD-R. Two DVD-RAM substrates are bonded together, creating multiple recording surfaces.

There are two sources of distortion. One is the chain of components that brings the sound to the MD's input. If you go analog-to-analog, you introduce the CD's DAC and the MD's ADC chips, each with its own artifacts. However, you can bring the digital data stream directly to the MD; then the only source of differences is the ATRAC compression algorithm. The ATRAC encoder removes information from the audio material in order to store it on the MD (5: 1 compression with loss).
