What is Disk-At-Once/96 mode in Nero?

[skho]

Hello, I have Nero version 5.5.8.2. There are two options included if you want to burn without multi-session. One is Disk-At-Once the other is Disk-At-Once/96. Does anyone know what is Disk-At-Once/96 and how is it different from plain Disk-At-Once?

Which one would be the better mode to burn files off your hard drive from? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

I believe it's RAW/96, the same mode that clone CD uses, but I could be wrong

I looked it up it uses the DAO/96 mode...whatever that is...

DAO stands for Disk At Once, so yer back to square one

Disk at once, IIRC, means that it burns the whole cd without any skips between tracks (at once, obviously). This gets rid of skips between tracks in audio CD's that might be annoying (if you listen to say, over produced Nine Inch Nails junk, and I say junk in the nicest possible way, where they blend the tracks together), but it's also the most safe way of burning a CD to ensure compatibility with other drives, which is less of an issue now, but in the distant past, a lot of CD read-only drives had problems with burned cd's if they weren't made disk at once.

FYI, I nearly ALWAYS use DAO mode when writing CDs.
