When was the CD and CD player invented?
Sony received a design patent on a Compact Disk Player, originally filed in 1980.
The Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (aka 3M) filed a 1962 US Patent application, issued as 3,381,086, in 1968, for a method of recording video and audio information on a rotating disk using an optical beam. This could be viewed as a direct precursor to the "compact disk" that was described in the literature for audio recordings shortly thereafter. The term "compact disk" is found in patents filed in 1980. There was apparently early debate over the merits of concentric tracks versus spiral tracking. So, there may be some other specific date upon which the modern standard was developed.
A:The compact disc or CD was introduced in the year 1982. It was originally developed for storing digital audio and digital data.
It all started in the year 1979, when Philips and Sony got together to design a new digital audio disc. The team leaders of this project were Kees Immink and Toshitada Doi. Philps handled the maunfacturing process along with the Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation (EFM), while Sony too care of the error connection method, better known as CIRC. However, Philips claim that this invention was not a one man's job but a collective contribution by members of both the companies who worked together as a team.
It was considered as a "Big Bang", in the digital audio world. This disc was taken over by nearly all markets across the globe, especially the Europe and the United States consumer market. The first successful CD to be launched was Brothers in Arms in 1985.A compact disk (CD) is a popular form of digital storage media used for computer files, pictures, and music. The plastic platter is read and written to by a laser in a CD drive. It comes in several varieties including CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.
James Russell invented the compact disk in 1965. James Russell was granted a total of 22 patents for various elements of his compact disk system. However, the compact disk did not become popular until it was mass manufactured by Philips in 1980.
The first working prototype was produced in 1979, and CD players were released in 1982
Sony introduced the world's first CD player, the CDP-101 on October 1st, 1982. It hit the market with a retail price of about $900 and featured the now familiar slide out tray loading mechanism for the first time.
Variations of the optical disk and compact disc started to appear in the late 1970s. The ones we are used to were launched in 1982.
The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei invented the thermometer in 1596.
Can a CD player read a CD from both sides?
No. There aren't any CD's that contain data on both sides, because the tehnology doen't allow it. There are lightscribe discs though. these are blank on both sides. Where one side is for data, and the other is for printing a label.
The person who actually created the “Zune” name is getting no credit at all.
What is the purpose of CD DVD duplicators?
The reason for this is stupid, because they just try to get you to download, or even buy some crap that you could get while buying an item at a shop or something. CD copying software is very important to me and I use it a ton, but a go mine when I bought a blue ray player, not buy downloading or buying it from a scammed website. If you are reading this, I suggest that you don't go onto a scammed website and download or buy something that you don't know what it is all about.

Can you connect and use the CD-ROM on your PC to watch a movie on a television?
short answer: yes! you might have to buy a new video card and TV - but once you have the right hardware, you can make it work.
"not as short" answer: first, you need a computer with a CD-ROM... and of course the movie on a CD as well as the software to watch said movie.
second, you need a video card that that has a 'video out' and a TV with a 'video input'. connect the two using an rca cable - you can get one at any radio shack.
set your video card on your computer to use the video out and set your tv to show the video in.
turn up your computers volume!
you might have to reference the instructions that came with your tv or video card, but as long as you have the in and outs - it can work.
How do you record speech onto a CD?
To record a person singing, a person will need a type of camcorder or digital camera that has sound capabilities. Another way to record a person singing is to use a webcam on the computer and a microphone that can be connected to the computer.
Difference between 40x and 52x CD-r?
The short answer is that 48X and 52X, in terms of media, are really the same thing. The maximum speed of Recordable CDs, according to the Orange Book specifications, is 48X.
The recorder manufacturers are the ones that started marketing their recorders at 52X, this pushed media manufacturers to then market their media as 52X certified.
The reality is you cannot achieve 52X record speeds. The maximum burn speed that we've seen is 47.2X with a full CD. The write speed starts off around 16X to 20X and climbs to about 47X for a full 700Mb CD, and then drops a little during the finalization of the disc.
That's why review sites, like CDFreaks, talk about how long it takes to burn a full disc at 40X or 48X speeds. The combination of the media quality and burn speed influence the overall time to complete the burn. It would be great to have a burner recorder at 48X speed for any size CD because then we could easily figure out the time it will take. Unfortunately, that is not the case, the amount of information on the disc coupled with recorder and media brand contribute to the overall burn time.
And, now, most folks are purchasing combo DVD/CD recorders and these recorders are only certified to burn CDs at 48X or slower. The dedicated CD-R only recorders are going away - everybody is now using these combo DVD/CD recorders so this whole 52X vs. 48X is becoming less important.
Can you play a DVD on a netbook?
Yes, but you will have to play it with either a external USB drive or a networked DVD Drive.
How do you make a read only protected DVD?
it is highly unlikely that a hard disk is write protected. secondly it is possible for an administrator to block users to access or write on hard disk areas. if you are the admin, you have to most likely format the system as it seems to be a virus with special privileges.
always backup all critical data as there is an imminent risk of system crash as the virus is likely to destroy the system slowly by corrupting data & also stealing information by restricting access.
What does an external DVD writer do?
An external DVD burner works essentially the same as an internal DVD burner, taking data from the computer and writing it onto a DVD disc. The main difference is that an external burner connects to the computer via a cable, typically through the USB port.
What year were DVDs introduced?

What is the difference between CD-r and CD plus r discs?
There are two competing formats for DVD's + and - format. Your question doesn't mention the + so they are the same format - or the lack of + means -. DVD + is technically a newer format but that doesn't make it any better than the -. You need to determine what your computer's drive burns and also what your DVD player plays. Some computer drives burn both formats. The R stands for Writeable meaning you can burn information or a movie only once. Most newer DVD players can play any format but some cannot. Check the manual or just use trial and error. As a word of advice don't buy a 100 pack of DVD's without first testing your system to make sure they are compatible. Buy a single CD or a smaller pack until you have verified all is well with your system.

What To Do If You've Lost Yours
Contact costumer services at Norton (by mail, email, or phone). They will probably need proof of purchase such as original receipt, bar code on package, or some other form of identification. They will instruct you on what is needed and will then give you a new serial number if necessary.
More Info
Downloading proprietary software is illegal (except for trials). This is called piracy. Using serial numbers that you did not purchase is also illegal, even if you purchased the software and lost your serial number (see above for obtaining a new one in this case). It is also illegal to use key generators (keygens) which provide serial numbers as well as cracks to bypass expired time trials or entering a serial number and no-CD cracks which enable you to use the software without the original purchased CD for the software.
WikiAnswers will not provide serial numbers or links to serial numbers. We will also not provide information or links on where to obtain pirated software, serial numbers, keygens, or cracks. If you are caught doing any of these, you may be blocked from using WikiAnswers as well as reported to the proper officials and/or the company who created the software.
Note: This is a catch-all question. Neither it nor its alternatives should be deleted or removed. It should also remain protected so that illegal information cannot be posted.

An optical disc has one long spiral track of data. Along the track there are areas that are reflective and areas that are not. A laser is shone along the track, the reflective areas are read as binary 1's while the non-reflective areas are read as binary 0's. CD-R's and DVD-R's have a dye layer that is used to write your own CDs and DVDs with the appropriate hardware.
Most common CD-Rs nowadays store 700 MB information and 800 MB CD-Rs are also widely available.
Maximum capacity of a CD-R nowadays is 860 MB.
Maximum capacity of a CD is not strictly defined, depending of production technology and the quality of the disk the maximum capacity could be pushed up to about 875 MB.
