Lead-In Area
The initial area of every session is known as the Lead-In Area.
This is where the TOC and additional information concerning
the CD is stored.
Lead-Out Area
This defines the end of a session. If the CD has not yet been
finalized, the reference to the next session is stored here.
Master
After the creation of an image file, the actual process of CD
production occurs. If the CD is to be used for reproduction
purposes, it is known as a master.
Mixed Mode-CD
Music and computer data are stored on one CD with this type
of CD. The computer data are generally located on track 1 and
audio data are located in the ensuing tracks.
Multi-Session-CD
A CD which is written in several sequential sessions is known
as a multi-session CD.
On-The-Fly
A process for burning data onto a CD-R. There are two
different methods of doing this. With the classical and older
method, all of the data which are to be recorded onto the CD
are first stored in a buffer in a large file known as an image
file. From there, they are copied or burned onto the CD-R. In
contrast to this, the method known as On-The-Fly transfers the
data directly from their original memory locations on a hard
drive onto the CD-R. With Nero, a so-called compilation is
used for this purpose. This is a small file which only cross-
references the data to be transferred.
