01_LAYOUT_GB 22-11-2000 09:21 CDRW Pagina 28 APPENDIX (CONT.) ENGLISH WHAT IS “DISC AT ONCE”? • Disc at Once is a writing mode that requires data to be written continuously, without any interruptions, until the entire data set is transferred to the CD-R. • The lead-in, program and lead-out are written in a single event. All of the information to be recorded needs to be staged on the computer’s hard disc prior to recording in the Disc at Once mode.

Packet write, on the other hand, is a method whereby several write events are allowed within a track, thus reducing the overhead. These “packets” are bounded by 7 blocks for run-in (4), run-out (2) and link (1).
