Q - How is a hybrid disc manufactured ?

 

A - The CD audio is included on the disc, then there is a session gap, and data (the multimedia section) is written to the disc.  A CD is capable of holding both music and data (like a CDR) so all we are doing is including both.  If you put the CD in your CD Player it will play the audio.  If you then put the CD in you computer, it will play the multimedia.

Q - How much technical knowledge do I need to use the multimedia section ?

 

A - Not very much !  When you place the CD in your computer, it will usually open automatically.  The CD does not require you to install any files onto your computer.   The CD uses the programs already on the standard operating system.  The contents of the multimedia section are arranged like a DVD menu system, and are easy to navigate.

 

If the CD doesn’t open automatically - Open Windows Explorer and select your CD-ROM drive (for example D:) then click on the file OPEN.EXE

 

If you are a MAC user, follow a similar procedure and then open the OPEN file for OSX or OS9 depending on your operating system.
