The "early" definition (from the old-timer) was 1x equated to "real time" with only minimal buffering involved. In other words, if you had a cd that you wanted to put 40 minutes of audio on, it would take 40 minutes to write it (1x). A 4x drive could write it in 10 minutes.
Of course the data rate would be different for real-time audio or real-time video. The bytes of data required per second for audio and video is quite different. "real-time" HD Video will require another data xfer speed...any guesses as to how fast that baseline is? --- "Surendiran.B" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > We all are speaking about CR-Drive read/write speads > like 40x,52x etc... > > > Whether any one thought of what does the '1x' means? > > Here it is, While a 1x CD-ROM drive has a maximum > data > rate of only 150 KBps, a 1x DVD-ROM drive can > transfer > data at 1,250 KBps, which is just over the speed of > an > 8x CD-ROM drive. > > so, 52x CD-Drive read speed = 150 * 52 = 7800 KBps > [Kilo Bytes per second]. > > But , a 52x CD-Drive can't really read at the > specified 52x speed! why?
