Nero Burning ROM 88
NTSC
Standard for video and television in the United States and Japan. NTSC has more frames
per second than PAL, but has fewer horizontal lines.
OGG
Format for digitalized or compressed audio files that have been encoded with the Vorbis
method. OGG Vorbis is an Open Source encoder.
PAL
Video and TV standard in Europe. PAL has more horizontal lines than NTSC, but has fewer
frames per second.
Photo CD
CD which is used for storing images, photos, slides, and other visual data. A photo CD
generally consists of multisessions. The standard originates from Kodak and Philips.
Plug-in
Software used to add other features to a program (software) or to support troubleshooting.
Buffer underrun
Buffer underruns are caused when there is an interruption to the flow of data to the internal
buffer of the burner. This is can be the fault of the software or the hardware itself. When
recording, data is fed continuously to the burner's buffer in order to keep a steady flow of
data which is required when recording. When something interrupts that steady flow, it can
cause a buffer underrun and your disc is no longer useable.
Most modern burners have a protective mechanism against buffer underruns.
Red Book
This standard describes the CD-DA.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface. Bus system to which different terminal devices such as a
SCSI hard drive, streamers or a CD burner may be connected. At this time, SCSI is the only
possibility of operating a CD-burner on a typically-used computer system.
Sector
Smallest addressable information unit on a CD. A sector is composed of 2,352 bytes of
which - depending on the type of CD used - differing amounts are available as user data. A
sector generally consists of a header, synchronization bits, and user data. It may also have
error detection and correction data. A drive with a basic read speed of 1/75 seconds is
required to read a sector.
Session
Discs such as CDs and DVDs are divided into tracks and sessions. A session is a self-
contained data area that is burned using a single process, and consists of a lead-in, one or
more tracks, and a lead-out. In principle, a session is comparable to the partition on a hard
drive. A multisession disc can contain multiple sessions.
