double sided cd's? (2 Viewers)

[fatmuscle]

yeah the early ones were only for the parts not written

but later on i think they changed it.
u know how cd's have 2 layers? they only used one layer or something and used the 2nd layer for a very light image.

i wasn't really paying much attention

Some quotes from: http://www.yamahamultimedia.com/yec/tech/discta2_01.asp

DiscT@2 is an exclusive Yamaha feature that allows text and images to be drawn on the unused portion of a CD-R disc. You can now etch a memo, your signature, photo thumbnails or your company's logo right onto the bottom of the disc.

Thats a bit useless isnt it? On the bottom of the cd, on unused bits...

Since the CRW-F1 is not a printer (it doesn't use ink to print), the result of DiscT@2 writing varies with CD-R media dye. There are 3 types of dye used in CD-R media:

Azo: Blue or Deep Blue. DiscT@2 images can be burned with high-contrast on Azo media.

Cyanine: Light Blue, Light Green, or Yellow. DiscT@2 images on Cyanine dye resemble a light image or hologram.

Phthalocyanine: Silver or Gold. DiscT@2 on this media resemble a watermark.

So you'd hardly see it on gold cds anyway.

Graphic images can only be placed outside of the already-written area, in order to avoid data loss.

Creating a CD with DiscT@2 images will permanently close (finalize) the disc.

hmm, yeah, just had a look at it- it seems like a good idea- but its useless i reckon.
