      @@hodayfa000h no, burning a CD burns the information onto it. You're copying onto it. Ripping a CD takes the information from it and puts it on your drive, so you're taking a copy of it. CDs don't usually have backups on them, but maybe you could do that? Can you partition a CD and make a backup drive on it?

      Yeah, the laser can't actually distinguish a pit from a land, rather, a pit-to-land or land-to-pit transition is a "mark", while continuation of an existing pit or land is a "space". These still aren't the ones and zeros - a block of 17 (16 on DVDs) "marks" and "spaces" encodes 8 bits of raw data.

Funnily enough, they could just refer to all of them as simply "discs" and it'd basically be correct. But I guess we're stuck with CDs as the default. And sometimes DVDs, even if it’s a Blu-ray disc.

      yeah, the organic dye on normal CD-Rs are just one-time changable. CD-RWs have a metallic layer that can be altered again and again for a limited certain limited amount of times. Hence why certain CD drives (like many old Audio CD players) can't read CD-RWs but would read most CD-Rs just fine.

      They do happen in CD-R discs in a similar way, except for the material being different. The CD-R uses a phase-changing permanent dye or AZO, where the CD-RW uses a phase-changing alloy metal, where it changes shape according to the temperature it's on.

    • @gregdaweson4657
      @gregdaweson4657 Місяць тому

      @Mike-77-YT no it doesn't. Azo dye and other dyes on cdrs are essentially burned to be less reflective, not a phase change. Phase change metal layers on cdrw discs do not change shape, they change reflectivity based on crystal structure or lack thereof. There is no change of shape in the layer.

    While blank CDs/DVD/Blurays do use color phasing it doesn't actually create physical bumps. The color change prevents the laser from reflecting the laser back to the read head.
    Studio made discs (that you buy with data already on it) are pressed instead have the bump paterns pressed into the metal layer. The bumps still reflect the laser only it points it away from the read head.
    Also you get a higher picture quality from a 1080p or 4K Bluray than you do from 4k streaming. Many streaming services deploy compression to fake 4K so they can save Gigabytes on their server.

    A higher space is not a 0 and a low one not a 1. Instead, no transition is a zero and a transition is a 1.

    When I was in high school, I attended a camp for blind students. Everybody got all excited because they said they were going to HS had to burn his CD with the screen reader and what programs it was with. And I told my grandparents that of course straight away and Papa had the whole room laughing because he was like “I knew it couldn’t have meant when I thought it meant because I couldn’t see a reason and burn your CD”.

    Weren't CDs originally like only writable once and then the bumps would be "burned" into the cd in a way that's not reversible? I would love to know if this is actually correct
