Talk:CD/DVD authoring

Nonsense
Writing one article that handles both cd and dvd authoring would be like creating an article:'The conduct of vehicles' that both handles pushing a wheel-barrow and flying the space-shuttle.

Both being 'Optical media' and physically very much looking alike, cd's and dvd's are actually a world apart in their way of authoring.

Cd authoring goes like this: you 'sample' the analog sound (At a certain frequency and bit-with) and then burn the obtained bit-stream onto the media - done!.

Discribing what has to be done in order to obtain a playable dvd - starting from scratch with an already digitized feature-film - takes many, many, many ..... pages of text, diagrams and drawings.81.245.178.139 14:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, and removed the corresponding merge(s). I originally suggested go create the DVD authoring (and CD authoring) articles.  Apparently they already exist.  This page is now a redirect to Optical disc authoring now anyway, which ought to concentrate on the pressing of discs (and thigns common to both). Reswobslc 14:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently CD authoring is a redirect back to Optical disc authoring - I suppose that if anyone has any significant content to add there, they can - otherwise I removed the (circular) link from that target page. Reswobslc 14:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
