There is a good explanation of red and yellow book standards (along with green, orange and white) here

A CD-R is not Red or Yellow book but Orange book. It may contain data that conforms to the Red or Yellow books though. Some high end CD audio players/recorders might only record to CD-Rs that have the proper bits set to indicate 'Audio CD-R' but I don't think they are so common. Home stereo CD players will usually only play CDs that conform to the Red book (even if they are actually Orange book CD-Rs). A PC CD-ROM drive will normally read either.

Richman, then how does one create a CDR than conforms to the Red Book, or Orange Book
does one consist of audio only and the other data only

thanks, rockin

Correct.

But you need not worry about conformity details. Pretty much any CD/DVD recording s/w will take care of them after letting you pick what kind of disc you want to create.

There is more good info in CD-R FAQ.

yeah, things have improved alot,
today people even do not know what is red or orange.
your recorders, sws... handle the compability issues.

Sorry for raising this VERRRY old topic, but I have a question:
Can I find somewhere the Orange Book disc specifications, wishfully in all parts?

The reason is: as I know, the ATIP manufacturer information was established in these specifications, correct? So I just would like to have the complete manufacturers list and their ATIP codes.

Not very long time ago I found that document, but had imprudence to delete it. Now I want to find it again, but can't. Can someone help me?

WikiPedia probably has all that info and more.

JIG66666 · 13-01-2007

I also thought that way. But Wikipedia turned out to be useless.
Or maybe I was ignorant?

Sounds logical but never have seen such a list in the public, would be surprised it were released as such...
