Nero Burning ROM 86
Emulation
Simulation of the structure and function of a system, for example a bootable disc can
"emulate" a floppy drive.
Encode
Encoding is the conversion of audio files that are located on an audio CD into an audio
format that the computer can read (e.g. mp3).
Finalizing
Definitive conclusion of the process of writing to a disc. After this it is not possible to write to
the disc anymore. However, a finalized rewritable disc can still be erased. A disc is
automatically finalized if it is burned using the disc-at-once method.
Firmware
The firmware in burners functions as the operating system of the drive and contains
instructions which determine how the drive reacts to commands from the PC. Generally the
firmware in modern burners can be updated, improving the support for discs from other
manufacturers for instance.
HD DVD
High Definition DVD. A possible successor to the DVD with greater storage capacity. The
format is recognized by the DVD Forum. The HD DVD was developed in response to high-
definition video requirements. Single-layer discs can store data volumes of up to 15 GB. In
HD DVD burners a blue-violet laser is used, which can write the data "more tightly" on the
disc. This makes it possible to store large quantities of data.
HFS CD
File system used by Apple© Macintosh systems. This format is only suitable for Macintosh
discs.
Image file
An individual file on the hard drive that contains an image of a complete disc. An image can
be used if problems occur during the burn process or if there is no burner connected to the
PC.
Index position
You can set index positions within an audio track. You can "jump" to these using a suitable
CD player. Currently, only very few CD players can handle index positions.
Table of contents (TOC)
Indicates the content of each session. The table of contents is stored in the lead-in.
Jitter Correction
Many CD-ROM drives cannot read an individual sector on an audio CD, which means that
small gaps may occur in the data stream. Audio correction synchronizes the data stream by
overlapping the sectors and so gaps do not occur.
Cross fade with previous track
A crossfade is a merging between two audio tracks. The start of the new track begins softly,
while the current track is still playing. The two tracks merge without a pause.
