Oh, I see... (Found additional info on Wikipedia) Hmm, if TAO is only for CD, then maybe UltraISO's TAO setting for DVD burning auto-switched to DAO instead, or maybe not... Thanks for clearing DAO/TAO up and correcting my mistaken assumption.

Umm, could you elaborate why it's the best option and not some other options? Thanks

Hi, Could someone explain to me about the write modes (DAO/DiscAtOnce, TAO/TrackAtOnce, SAO/???), what each mode do, the pro and cons, and when to use them. Before IMGBurn, I've used Nero and UltraISO. Nero seems to only allow TAO on CD, for DVD there's only DAO. UltraISO seems to permit both DAO and TAO on CD and DVD. I usually go with TAO if available, with the assumption that writing is done a track at a time hence more "meticulous" writing and more assurance of burn quality. Am I right about this? I want to be sure once and for all about the write modes, and not just guessing as I am now. Thanks very much
