You can create several types of discs to archive and distribute your project:

• Track-at-once (TAO) CDs can be burned in multiple sessions over a period of time. Before you can use a TAO disc in an audio CD player, however, you must close the session. TAO CDs are convenient for sharing your projects and testing your mix, but are generally not acceptable as masters for duplication.

• Disc-at-once (DAO or Red Book) CDs are burned in a single session. Use DAO burning when creating a master disc for replication.

• Video CDs can be played in many home DVD players and on computers with a CD-ROM drive and VCD player software.

• Multimedia CDs can be played in any computer with the appropriate player.

• Blu-ray discs can be played in a Blu-ray player or on a computer with a Blu-ray drive.

• DVDs can be played in a DVD player or on a computer with a DVD drive.
