TBH.. that thread is nearly 2 years old already ... well 1 and a half year to be exact ...
Anyway, since we talking about signature filesize limit .. would the mods consider of giving an exception? for example, allowing the winner of the current running SotM contest to use an extra size signature ? As in allowing the signature submission to go past 50Kb (say 100Kb) then the winner gets to use that sig *only if* they win .. *tongue in cheek* Its once a month event that we in FC subforum planning.. and I dont think that its gonna affect much bandwidth .. (*-*) I know the chance is slim, since I already asked Sky and Klash on msn and they said ojiisan would probably wont approve... but its doesnt hurt to try *tongue in cheek*

That would be amusing, but I'm afraid it would be troublesome for us. It is an unofficial contest, yet doing this would require that we remember all SotM contest winners. If a moderator forgets about the contest for a moment we'd end up getting embarassed and having to revoke the infraction later... as your avatar would say, "mendoukusai." I guess you'll have to stipulate that the 50,000 byte limit is a challenge of the contest.
I know you were hoping this proposal would get as far as ojisan, but you'll have to settle for my disapproval.

In general usage, there is no difference - people seem to refer to them the same way. However, a burner can write to CDs and DVDs in addition to being able to read them. A regular drive can only read CDs/DVDs.

On a similar note...
Why can't DVD-ROM dics that already have stuff on them be over-written? I was trying to backup my hard drive but it said to use an another disc because the one I inserted had information on it. What's up with that? Can information/data only be burned onto a disc once or something?

However, you can re-use a disk if you've not used all of the space already, your burning software supports adding sessions and the disk isn't closed. Overwriting or adding files that way will slow the disk down though. I personally don't like that method, so only ever write complete disks, starting a new one each time. You probably want to use R/W (ReWritable) media if you want to erase and re-use the whole disk in the way you describe. |

When you burn a CD or a DVD, the data is written onto a foil layer in the form of microscopic pits (if I remember how the technology works properly). For regular CDs/DVDs the layer can likely only be altered once. For a CDRW/DVDRW, the layer can be reset, as the layer is likely made out of a different material. If you've heard of dual layer DVDs, then the concept of writing to a layer should be familiar to you. As Nightwish mentioned, it's sometimes possible to continue writing to a disc if it isn't 100% filled by use of multisessions. Multisessions can be a bit tricky, though. In my experience, multisession data written by one brand of CD/DVD burner may not be readable in another. If you want to maximize compatibility, don't use multisessions and ensure that your burning software is either set to not use multisessions, or to finalize the disc (both have the same effect; certain software use different terminology).

*adds to Ledgems posting: one looses space for lead in and lead out data for every multisession session, so even if there are only small changes, the space will shrink considerable because of lead in and lead out data.

True, but does it really matter on a DVD? I know when I was using CR-ROM the lead in and lead out was a notable amount, but on a DVD that shouldn't be a considerable amount of data, right? Or is the required space for lead in and lead out larger?
