This section describes the different disc types and disc formats that you
can use in CyberLink PowerProducer.
Disc Types
In broad terms, discs are divided into the following categories:
• CD (which, being the earlier technology, is more widely
supported)
• DVD (which holds many times the amount of content, but
requires a different drive)
• Blu-ray Disc (new technology that enables the playback of High-
Definition video (HD))
• HD DVD (new technology that enables the playback of High-
Definition video (HD))
The following is a brief description of the different disc types supported
by CyberLink PowerProducer.
Multi Session Discs
Multi session discs allow you to append additional data after the
original burning session. CyberLink PowerProducer creates a multi
session disc whenever you burn a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-RE,
BD-R or HD DVD-R disc and choose not to close or finalize the disc.
Therefore, you can continue to add content to a multi session disc until
the disc is full or closed, at which point you can no longer append any
further data.
