Track (optical disc) Track (optical disc) On an optical disc, a track (CD) or title (DVD) is a subdivision of its content. Specifically, it is a consecutive set of "sectors" (called "timecode frames" on audio tracks) on the disc containing a block of data. One "session" may contain one or more tracks of the same or different types. There are several kinds of tracks, and there is also a sub-track index for finding points within a track. Blu-ray discs can also be written in a sequential, session based mode modelled on CD and DVD. A Blu-ray "track" refer to the entire physical storage
Optical disc recording technologies Optical disc recording technologies Optical disc authoring requires a number of different optical disc recorder technologies working in tandem, from the optical disc media to the firmware to the control electronics of the optical disc drive. This article discusses some of the more important technologies. There are numerous formats of recordable optical direct to disk on the market, all of which are based on using a laser to change the reflectivity of the digital recording medium in order to duplicate the effects of the pits and lands created when a commercial optical disc is pressed. Emerging technologies such as holographic
