Selecting an Optical Disc Format
Before getting to the burning steps, you need to decide which disc format you want to use. You have two choices:
• Mastered—This format requires that you burn photos to the disc in a single operation. That is, you first gather all the photos you want to copy to the disc, and then you run the burn. Mastered optical discs are compatible with most optical drives and CD or DVD players. For discs that can be rewritten with new data (such as CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW), you can burn a new set of photos to the disc in each session. Keep in mind that you can’t delete individual photos from a mastered CD-R or DVD-R disc, but you can delete individual photos from a mastered CD-RW or DVD-RW disc.
