Refers to the ability of certain CD-Recorders to record a CD-R or CD-RW disc in one continuous operation. This is necessary to avoid glitches when playing recordable audio discs.
A method of single-session recording in which the entire CD is written, from start to finish, without stopping the laser. The table of contents and Lead-in area are written initially, so this data must be compiled by the CD recorder software before the operation begins. The Disc-at-Once capability is necessary in order to pre-pare CD masters to submit to a replicator.
In Disc-at-Once mode, the whole disc is written without turning off the recording laser. All of the information to be recorded needs to be staged on the computer's hard disk prior to recording. The mode is especially useful for creating a master disc for subsequent mass production via a replicator since eliminates the linking and run-in and run-out blocks associated with multisession and packet recording modes, which often are interpreted as uncorrectable errors during the mastering process. It requires the pre-mastering software to send a "cue sheet" to the CD-R/DVD-R drive that describes the disc layout.
In Disc-at-Once recording, one or more tracks are recorded without ever turning off the recording laser. Media that you write using Disc At Once will be finalized automatically, and can be played back by a CD-RW drive or CD player that supports that type of media. However, no further data can be written to a disc that was written using Disc At Once.
With Disk-At-Once the writing procedure of one or more tracks of a CD and the closing procedure are done in a single operation without ever turning off the writing laser. Contrast with "Track-at-Once".
Records all of the data/audio on a CD-R disc at one time. The lead-in, all the tracks and lead-out are written, the session is closed, and the disc is closed. This format does not add 2 second gaps between tracks as the track-at-once (TAO) recording does.
Disc-at-Once sis a method used to record to CDs, where one or more CD tracks is written to the blank CD, then the disc is closed, without ever turning off the burning laser.
A method of writing CDs in which one or more tracks are written in a single operation, and the disc is closed, without ever turning off the writing laser. Contrast with Track-at-Once. Not all CDrecorders support Disc-at-Once. For more information.
A method of recording CDs where, the entire CD is recorded in one pass without turning off the laser. Disc-At-Once allows you to run tracks together without a pause (songs on a CD-DA disc can run together).
single session burning process that cannot be interrupted and does not allow any data to be added once burned on a disc. Does not add 2 second gaps between tracks as does track-at-once recording
Recording multiple tracks on a CD in a single operation and then closing the disc without turning off the laser.
