  1. How Does Optical Media Technology Work? By Wayne He Period 2

  2. Common File Systems for CDs and DVDs

  3. High Sierra • In 1985, representatives from several companies met at High Sierra Hotel at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. • Created a logical format and file structured for CD-ROMs. • Was later submitted to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

  4. Adapted from the High Sierra format. Level 1 Interchange: Filenames may only have uppercase letters, digits, and underscores ( _ ). 8 characters max. for filenames and 3 chars max for extensions. Directory names may only have 8 characters maximum. Directories are limited to 8 levels deep. Files must be contiguous. Level 2 Interchange: Allowed the filename and extension to have a total of 30 characters maximum. Level 3 Interchange: “Files must be contiguous” restriction removed. ISO 9660

  5. Joliet • Extension of ISO 9660 • CDs can be recorded with filenames with 64 characters max. • Specifications: • Filenames and directories can have 64 characters maximum (as stated above) • Directories may have extensions. • Directories can be deeper than eight levels. • Supports multisession recording.

  6. Universal Disk Format (UDF) • Allows an operating system to read, write, and modify data • DVDs are based on this format.

  7. Lands and Pits on CDs and DVDs

  8. A land is a layer that reflects light. • Pits look like bumps.

  9. Data Bits and Channel Bits • Land – 1 data bit • Pit – 0 data bit • Channel bits: • A “1” refers to a change from a land to a pit, or from pit to land. • A “0” refers to no change between a land and a pit.

  10. CLV and CAV

  11. Circular Angular Velocity • Accesses data off of rotating disks • Used by disk drives • Disk motor does not need to change speed

  12. Constant Linear Velocity • Used by older CD-ROM players • Rotational speed changes depending on the data’s location • Ensures constant data rate regardless of the data’s location

  13. Speeds of different optical media technologies

  14. Color Books (not to be confused with children’s coloring books)

  15. Red • Red books define CD-Audio • “father” of all CD-formats • Compact Disc-Digital Audio (CD-DA) defined by Philips N.V. and Sony in 1980

  16. Yellow • “mother” of all CD formats • Defines CD-ROMs • Developed by Philips N.V. and Sony in 1983 • Allows storing of digitalized content

  17. Orange • CD-Recordable (CD-R) • Created by Philips N.V. and Sony in 1988 • Can now record (as where the name “CD-Recordable” came from)

  18. Green • Compact Disc Interactive (CD-i) • Stores an entire hardware and software system • Stores special compression methods for audio and visual data • Interleaves audio, video, and text data

  19. Blue • CD Plus • Multisession disc with two sessions • Music • Data

  20. White • Video CD • Developed by JVC, Philips, Sony, and Matsushita in July 1993 • Stores MPEG-1 (Motion Picture Experts Group) videos (maximum of 74 minutes) • Playable on a personal computer (PC) or a DVD player
