I dont think it would be or ever was possible to ever burn a CD-R ever without a writing/reading standard first. The cd-rom and readers were on the marker far eariier than the CD-R burners were. The writing standards is what makes a CD-R a CD-R. If they used some other standard or propriatry stuff it would be a just be a "whatever" optical disc, not a CD-R optical disc. Regarding the multisession stuff, I dont know if there ever was or even now is a standard, I never use them, I always waited till I has a full disc worth of stuff to burn, first with CD-R and later with DVD-R. I never liked to leave any discs unfinalized. I have yet to have any reading problems with many CD-readers and burners, and DVD readers and burners over the last 10 yrs or so knock on wood. And that was with many different makes and models of drives, OS, and burner applications.

A lot of that was before the ISO standardized things, and there are likely to be non-compliant implementations running around still, if experience is any guide. In particular, multi-session incompatibilities were a bugaboo for years. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
