Appendix D – Disc Creation Hints & Tips

Discs for Distribution

Many   users   ask   how   they   should   make   discs   suitable   for   mass   distribution. 
There are many software packages available for discs mastering. R-Quest does 
not recommend any specific package over another. However there are some 
basic recommendations. These are:

For creating CD data discs for distribution, use ISO 9660 Mode 1 unless your 
application   specifically   requires   CD-XA   Mode   2.   Error   correction   is   higher   in 
Mode 1, and legacy systems are more likely to read this format.

If you intend to duplicate the disc, do not use Packet writing software (e.g. Direct 
CD, PacketCD, Spira). These types of disc contain bad blocks because of the 
way   that   the   Packet   system   writes   them.   Masters   containing   bad   blocks 
(intentional or not) are rejected as unreadable. Certain copy-protection systems 
utilise   bad   blocks,   and   since   this   equipment   is   not   designed   to   defeat   such 
systems (see illegal copying / piracy section at the front of this manual) they are 
rejected.

R-Quest does not recommend using re-writeable media (such as CD-RW, DVD-
RW,   DVD+RW   or   BD-RE)   for   distribution.     While   these   discs   are   generally 
reliable, they are not as reliable as record-once (CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R) 
media when used across a large number of ‘end user’ readers, and are more 
susceptible   to   finger   prints,   dust   and   other   contaminates.     We   therefore 
recommend   only   using  write-once  media   for   general   data/audio/video 
distribution.
