PC users are already accustomed to saving information, be it movies, documents, pictures or programs, to removable media. For many years, one of the most popular storage media has been discs - CDs, DVDs, which can record almost all file formats.
Among the most popular among users of programs for burning discs, Nero and its applications confidently take first place. And it is no coincidence. This program is able to transfer all known files to disk. And there are quite a few of them.
For example, if you use the function of saving data, then you can transfer to a disc, no matter what capacity and format (CD + R, DVD + R, CD + RW, DVD + RW), text documents, programs, archives, images, all music (wmw, mp-3, etc.) and video formats, including those intended for viewing on the phone, etc. In this case, the files will be saved in the same form and size as they were on the computer or phone.
DVD + R discs typically record Video information, and DVD + RW discs can create Video and Video Recording movies that are readable on all DVD players. A distinction is also made between DVD-ROM discs, which mainly use the Video mode, and DVD-RAM, which are intended only for recording in Video Recording mode. As a rule, factory video discs are created in these formats. Music is recorded on CDs in Audio, MP-3, WMA formats.
Video formats and their differences
Video recorded on discs comes in three main formats: VideoCD, DVD-Video, MP4. What is the difference between them? VideoCD is one of the oldest formats. A typical one and a half hour film in this format can fit on two 700 MB CDs. It is possible, but inconvenient. Perhaps that is why this format is losing its popularity over time. Although for recording small videos, clips, slideshows created at home, its use can be quite appropriate.
DVD-Video is readable on all DVD players. Most of the well-known extensions are suitable for its creation: mov, mpg, mp4, mpeg and avi. Another video format is MP4 (MPEG-4). It allows you to compress video files. In particular, one hour and a half film, weighing 1.47 GB, can fit on a 700 MB CD, and six or eight on DVD.
Where the music is recorded
Music files recorded on a disc come in three formats: AudioCD, DVD-Audio, MP3 / WMA discs. The first is less popular, as a CD usually holds 20-22 songs. The recording quality in this case is high. Up to 200 songs can be recorded on an MP3 disc, although some players do not read this format. DVD-Audio is characterized by very high sound quality because it is only recorded in professional studios. It is difficult to do this at home. CDs and DVDs can be used as the storage medium for MP3 / WMA music files. Typically, they are written as data discs.
