They have something to do with reading, writing, and rerwriting.
CAV= Constant Angular Velocity.The driveās RPM stay constant, resulting in higher speeds at the edge of the disk compared to the the inside.
P-CAV: Partial CAV. Usually applies to burners.The drive starts out in CAV mode then at a set maximum speed maintains it for the rest of the burn.
CLV: Constant Linear Velocity. The drive adjusts its rotation speed to maintain a set burning speed as it moves towards the edge of the disk, starting at a fairly high rate of rotation and slowing down as it reaches the edge.
Z-CLV: Zoned CLV. The burner starts at a given constant linear velocity and at a predetermined point switches to a higher CLV speed (āchanges gearsā).
HTH.
Thanks.
Iām going to have to explore the knowledgebase some more.
BTW
Do cdās read/write from the center to the edge or from the edge to the center?
:o !!! Center to edgeā¦
Take a look at Mike Richterās webpage, a great primer on the subject of CD recording.
