The Advanced tab contains settings that don't usually need to be changed before a standard disc writing process. In most cases these settings will be on their default values, but using the option to Load/Save task settings or changes in Options will affect these settings.

Mode:

DiscJuggler recognizes most disc image file formats. In the unlikely event that DiscJuggler cannot probably understand the contents of the currently mounted disc image file, you can suggest the contents with this control. The three following options are available.

• Audio:
  
  Used for Audio CDs.
   

• Mode 1:
  
  Used for the vast majority of data discs.
   

• Mode 2:
  
  Used for Video CD, Photo CD, and most multimedia CDs.

See the Data Formats section in the Advanced Concepts chapter for more information on this option.

Block:

DiscJuggler recognizes most of the existing disc image files.  In the unlikely event that DiscJuggler cannot detect the currently mounted disc image contents, with this control you can suggest a block size. The five following options are available.

• 2048 bytes:
  
  Used for disc images containing only data. This block size is commonly used for Mode 1 tracks.
   

• 2336 bytes:
  
  Used for disc images containing data. Commonly with Mode 2 tracks.
   

• 2352 bytes:
  
  Used for disc images containing audio or raw data.
   

• 2368 bytes:
  
  Used for disc images containing audio plus PQ sub-codes or raw data.
   

• 2448 bytes:
  
  Used for disc images containing audio plus PQ and R-W sub-codes or raw data.

See the Data Formats section in the Advanced Concepts chapter for more information on this option.

Offset:

This is useful when you do not want to start recording a disc image file from the beginning. If the disc image file contents are not recognized and you know that the file has a header, by entering the header size (in bytes), you can instruct DiscJuggler to skip it.

TOC:

If DiscJuggler cannot recognize the disc image Table of Contents (TOC), you can specify it here.

• CD-DA (Red Book):
  
  An audio-only format used on every Audio CD. Index points and variable gaps between tracks are implemented via PQ sub-codes.
   

• CD-ROM/DVD (Yellow Book):
  
  This is the standard for most common data discs. The Yellow Book defines more error correction than defined by the Red Book; a small error while playing back audio is significantly less damaging than an error in retrieving data files.
   

• CD-XA & CD-I Bridge (Extended Architecture):
  
  This is used for most mixed mode CDs (audio + data), and multi-session CDs. The CD-ROM XA standards provide synchronized data and audio, as well as a method for the compression of audio information.
   

• CD-I (Green Book):
  
  Improves the synchronization of data retrieval and audio information and established the Compact Disc Interactive format. For example, with the introduction of CD-I, sounds could be better synchronized with graphics than in the standards provided in Mode 2 Yellow Book.

See the Data Formats section in the Advanced Concepts chapter for more information on this option.

Add post-gap to 3rd party images:

Checking this option adds a two second gap to the end of a disc image that was not been created by DiscJuggler. If you create discs without adding a two second post-gap, some drives can accidentally step on the lead-out area while trying to read files recorded at the end of the disc, resulting in read errors.

For detailed information on the following options:

• R-W (CD+G)

• CD-TEXT

• PQ

• RAW write

• TAO write

• Truncate CD/DVD

• Overburn CD/DVD
