3.2.2 The Packet Writing procedure
can be used to create CDs without starting a special mastering program
beforehand. The Packet Writing procedure allows you to use blanks in
combination with the Universal Disc Format (UDF) as an additional hard disk or
floppy disk. Standard software for packet writing, e.g. Direct CD (Roxio).
You can write files directly from any Windows application (WinWord) to the CD
using the same procedure as when writing to the hard disk. You can also copy
files to the CD using Windows explorer.
Note: We recommend using the software which has been provided with
your drive. If you wish to use other software, please find out from the
supplier whether his products support the FREECOM Portable CD-RW /
Combo CD-RW / DVD.
Afterwards, you can start the writing procedure by simply dragging the file to
be written in the Explorer/File Manager (
Drag&Drop Principle), assuming there
is a UDF-formatted blank disk in your CD-RW drive.
A medium can only be written once with the CD-R drive and previously written
files can be deleted but not overwritten. The great advantage of the CD-RW
drive in conjunction with a CD-RW medium is that it allows you to rewrite the
medium.
Note: Please note that the mastering procedure and the packet writing
procedure can only be used seperately, therefore a mixing of these
procedures on one CD-RW is not possible.
3.3 Peculiarities when writing audio CDs
Please note that some older CD player models principally cannot read self-
written CDs.
Note: Audio files must have the proper format (stereo, 16 bit and 44.1
kHz sampling frequency) and must be supported by the writing software,
for example, *.wav. Some programs offer conversion functions.
Soundcards and the software that come with them can also be used.
Please note that *.wav files cannot or have supported formats such as:
mono, 8 bit.
