Thermal recalibration
|
Thermal recalibration is a feature on many high-volume hard disk drives that dynamically adjusts and calibrates read and write operations based on temperature variations. Thermal recalibration cycles in the middle of recording a CD can interrupt and damage the recording

Track Access
|
This is the common method to access 'songs' by track number in CD-Digital Audio. Under the Red Book, a disc can have 99 tracks, and under the Yellow Book, it can have up to 98 tracks of CD-DA tracks (the first track must be Mode 1 data track). Therefore, mixed mode discs implement other access methods.
|
|
Track Buffer
|
In the DVD player, the track buffer receives the user bitstream (which fluctuates due to irregular disc access in the program), and releases a smoothed bitstream regulated to a variable MPEG stream (mux_rate from 1 to 10.8 Mbits/sec).
