2.8 What is "EasyWrite"?
EasyWrite is a new open standard for dragging and dropping files to CD-RW and DVD+RW discs, as
initiated by the
Mount Rainier group
by over 40 industry leaders.
EasyWrite combines the simplicity of a floppy disk, the large storage capacity of CDs and DVDs, and
the robustness needed for frequent storing, moving and sharing of your data, audio, image and text
files.
Simple
EasyWrite operates like a regular drive, just like a hard disk or floppy drive, and uses
regular CD-RW and DVD+RW discs. This means that you can instantly drag and drop
files to a RW disc and back again.
Fast
EasyWrite is fast. Insert a new CD-RW or DVD+RW into the drive. Within seconds,
you can start dragging and dropping files. The drive handles formatting in the
background causing no additional delays. Even if you eject the disc before
background formatting is complete, the disc will still be readable in all
ROM and DVD-ROM drives. (Ejecting might take up to 1 - 4 minutes if the background
formatting has not finished yet. If it has finished, the ejecting will be almost
immediate.)
Robust
EasyWrite embodies a dramatically improved defect management system, resulting in
less sensitivity to disc wear and scratches. You will always have the highest reliability
of recorded data during many years of disc usage, in all circumstances!
Compatibility and Operating System Support
Discs written with EasyWrite are backward compatible and can be read (not recorded) by virtually all
CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM and DVD+RW drives. Reading EasyWrite discs on older
systems is done by software that is placed on every EasyWrite-recorded disc. It enables virtually all
computers to read EasyWrite recorded discs.
EasyWrite will be included in future versions of popular operating systems, including Windows and
Linux. Apple is also expected to join.
What do I need to use the "EasyWrite"?
•
First, you need a (Philips) CD-RW or DVD-RW drive with full EasyWrite functionality. You can
recognize this capability by checking for the EasyWrite logo
the product label (external drives).
•
At the moment 'bridge' application software, as delivered on the installation CD accompanying
the EasyWrite drive, remains necessary.
Philips supports the following bridge applications:
1. DirectCD from Roxio.
Please install the DirectCD version delivered with the drive.
Make sure the version number is 5.3.1.154 or higher.
