General: Can I read the CD/DVD-Rs you produce on my Windows PC?


Yes, you can. CDs and DVDs are written using the ISO-9660 format. In addition we use the extensions "Joliet" and "Rock Ridge". With Joliet extensions a CD or DVD can be read on Windows98, WindowsNT and on most Mac's, while Rock Ridge is supported by most UNIX systems. To read more about recordable CDs try this FAQ list: http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/. Another relevant page giving details on our DVD-R media and compatible reading equipment is also available. Please beware that ":" in file names will be replaced by "_".
