What is CD Burning?

Burning a CD means using a CD writable drive to record a custom CD. Nearly all new computers come with the necessary hardware and software to start burning CDs.

Function – An industrially pressed CD contains a series of bumps and depressed grooves to represent digital 0’s and 1’s. Bumps are not reflected back at the laser and are read as a 0.

Types – A consumer-grade CD burner drive burns a blank CD by shooting a laser through a layer of dye sandwiched between a plastic and aluminum coating. The laser turns this dye a darker color so that it does not reflect light (representing a 0). Rewritable CDs contain a compound that turns opaque after cooling when heated by the laser inside the CD-RW drive. A rewritable drive can rewrite a CD-RW by heating up this compound again and again.

Features – A blank CD-R or CD-RW can hold up to 700 megabytes of information, which equates to about 74 to 80 minutes of songs – however, a CD can hold more songs at lower quality or less music as quality increases.

Misconceptions – A CD writable drive cannot burn to a DVD disc. A user who cannot fit their files onto a CD should try downgrading the quality of the file (if possible).

Considerations – After burning a CD-R or CD-RW, a person cannot add files to unused portions of the disc. If using a CD-RW, the user has to erase the entire CD and burn it again.

Although the burning speed is optional, but the most important factors that affects speed are file size & the ability of burner drive and your computer.
