ABSTRACT
Way back in 1999, CD-burning drives were just beginning to cross into practical price ranges. A video-editing computer was still an expensive and tricky beast to confi gure and no one thought DVD burners would be inexpensive and widely available anytime soon. The typical software bundled with a typical circa 1999 CD-R drive was barely enough to burn a data CD or audio CD. Even today, the software packages that come in the box with most CD and DVD burners are not the same as the full-featured premium suites a number of companies offer. The core of this software is still burning discs and the software is usually very good at this. As these packages have gone from simple data burning to also include audio CDs, MP3 ripping and video DVDs, most companies have built more comprehensive packages of applications, or suites. These suites handle all of your needs as far as basic disc authoring is concerned. Let’s investigate some of the
features found in a typical disc authoring suite.
