Understanding the difference between the Live File System and Mastered disc formats


When choosing a disc format, it's helpful to understand what the differences are, so you can pick the right format for the disc you're going to burn. Discs that use the Live File System format are often more convenient because you can copy selected files immediately and as often as you want, just like you can with a USB flash drive. Alternatively, Live File System discs can’t be used in all computers or in a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc player. Use this guide to understand the difference between Live File System and Mastered discs:

Discs formatted with the Live File System option:
Have this option name in the Burn a Disc dialog box: Like a USB flash drive.

Work like a USB flash drive, which means that you can copy files to disc immediately without having to burn them later in a separate step.

Give you the option to delete one file, many files, or all files. For more information about erasing files from a disc, see Erase a CD or DVD.

Are convenient if you want to keep a disc in your CD, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc burner and copy files whenever the need arises.

Are compatible only with Windows XP and later versions of Windows.

Aren't blank after they're formatted.

Discs formatted with the Mastered option:
Have this option name in the Burn a Disc dialog box: With a CD/DVD player.

Don’t copy files immediately; you need to assemble the entire collection of files that you want to copy to the disc, and then burn them all at once.

Don't give you the option of deleting just one file or a few. All files on the disc will be deleted. For more information about erasing files from a disc, see Erase a CD or DVD.

Are convenient if you want to burn a large collection of files, such as a music CD.

Are compatible with other computers and consumer electronic devices, such as CD players, DVD players, and Blu-ray Disc players.

My 16 Rules of life to follow !

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone. I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone.  I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security."  My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers." 2. Never give up. Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted.  Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work.  It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity. 3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think. There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true.  It goes like this: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed." 4. With regard to wh...

Why Money - People Want a lot of it...

All in all, it was probably a mistake to look for the answer to the eternal question—"Does money buy happiness?"—from people who practice what's called the dismal science. For when economists tackled the question, they started from the observation that when people put something up for sale they try to get as much for it as they can, and when people buy something they try to pay as little for it as they can. Both sides in the transaction, the economists noticed, are therefore behaving as if they would be more satisfied (happier, dare we say) if they wound up receiving more money (the seller) or holding on to more money (the buyer). Hence, more money must be better than less, and the only way more of something can be better than less of it is if it brings you greater contentment. The economists' conclusion: the more money you have, the happier you must be. Depressed debutantes, suicidal CEOs, miserable magnates and other unhappy rich folks aren't the only ones givin...
