Some older CD players incorrectly recognise the CD-I track as an audio track and attempt to play it back accordingly. CD-ROM (Single and Multisesssion) CD-ROM describes a CD which contains computer data much like a hard disk. CD-XA XA stands for "Extended Architecture" and is a standard for Multimedia CDs containing audio and computer data. The filename must be at least one character in length, for example `A'. A version number (1 to 32767) can be appended (for example `A. B;1'). A maximum directory hierarchy of eight levels is permitted whereby the root is considered the first level. The ISO 9660 employs specifications of the High Sierra Group and is for that reason also called the High Sierra format. There are also other file systems ( for example, Joliet for Win95 or HFS for Apple Macintosh) which, however, can only be recognised on these types of systems. Joliet CD file system that supports long filenames and can be used under Windows . 95. For full compatibility to DOS, an ISO 9660 file system must be created. Lead-In The lead-in is a data area at the beginning of a CD-R session. This area contains the directory (table of contents TOC) of a session. Lead-Out The lead-out marks the physical end of a session and does not contain any data. Mixed Mode CDs A CD which contains both computer data and audio data is known as a Mixed Mode CD. [. . . ] This can be a sufficient amount of time to empty the driver's buffer space. This leads to a `buffer underrun' which will interrupt the writing procedure and will render the blank disc unusable. It is not possible to control the moment at which calibration takes place. If no calibration occurred beforehand but happens during writing, even a test-run of the drive can occur. [. . . ]
