CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

1.0 Introduction<br />

From its first faltering steps, CD-R technology has evolved dramatically to become<br />

recognized as a mainstream storage choice. In 1995 some 150,000 writers and 22 million<br />

pieces of media were sold worldwide. This grew to more than 70 million CD-R discs sold<br />

worldwide in 1996, and in 1997 those numbers exceeded 185 million. Current estimates<br />

project media sales in excess of a half billion units by the year 2000, aided by the addition<br />

of CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) to the product family. The CD-R market continues to grow<br />

at a faster rate than the CD-ROM market did, aided by steep price erosion of the media<br />

and main stream corporate CD use.<br />

Another important factor has contributed to explosive CD-R growth: the vast installed<br />

base of CD readers (in excess of 800 million at present). CD-R, unlike any other optical<br />

storage technology, has enjoyed the unique “market pull” of this immense installed base.<br />

Quite obviously, to capitalize on this advantage, interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> became the<br />

primary value proposition for CD-R. As with any removable storage technology (for<br />

those old enough to remember, floppy disks were no different) occasional <strong>compatibility</strong><br />

problems did arise in the early days of CD-R. Today such complaints are a rarity, due to<br />

persistent, strenuous efforts by the licensors and the CD-R media manufacturers, and the<br />

growth of the industry is testimony to their efforts.<br />

2.0 What is <strong>OSTA</strong> and Why the Study?<br />

The <strong>Optical</strong> Storage Technology Association (<strong>OSTA</strong>) is an international trade association<br />

dedicated to popularizing optical storage technology through promotion, industry<br />

initiatives, education, and technical collaboration. The current membership constitutes<br />

more than 80% of the optical storage market. One of the <strong>OSTA</strong> committees is focused on<br />

writable CD/DVD technology, and within it resides the Physical Compatibility<br />

Subcommittee, whose charter includes “to identify and resolve real or perceived obstacles<br />

to the broad scale adoption and acceptance of CD-Recordable technology.”<br />

In 1995 this committee undertook perhaps the most ambitious CD-R <strong>compatibility</strong> <strong>study</strong><br />

ever. This was envisioned to be an ongoing project that would seek to (i) provide a<br />

snapshot of current CD-R <strong>compatibility</strong>, (ii) identify and aid in the resolution of any<br />

<strong>compatibility</strong> problems that arise or are identified and (iii) serve as an authoritative,<br />

visible forum for the discussion and <strong>study</strong> of <strong>compatibility</strong> issues.<br />

Why specifically did we target CD-R <strong>compatibility</strong>? What prompted the original<br />

<strong>compatibility</strong> concerns? Why do they tend to surface every now and then? The Orange<br />

Book specification governing CD-R technology evolved over a period of time and was<br />

only finalized at the beginning of 1994 (version 2.0). By that time, however, there were<br />

numerous CD-R writer and media offerings. Some of these, unfortunately, were designed<br />

and built to operate outside what became the final specification. For example, many of<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

the older 1X recorders tended to write discs at considerably higher powers than were<br />

ultimately mandated by the Orange Book. Furthermore, these writers lacked the active<br />

write power control that was recommended in the final specification. This often showed<br />

up as excessively high values of symmetry (or beta) reported by CD testers. Some of the<br />

original CD-R media offerings were tolerant of this overpowering and, in fact, required it<br />

for best <strong>results</strong>. Newer Orange Book Part II (version 2.0) compliant media were designed<br />

to function optimally in the strict, designated write power range and encountered<br />

understandable performance degradation when written in overpowered, non-standard<br />

conditions. All newer writers, including 2X, 4X, and 6X offerings, have sophisticated<br />

write power selection and control capabilities and generate considerably higher quality<br />

discs than do the older 1X devices. This result has been extensively corroborated by a<br />

number of other comprehensive studies.<br />

When the Orange Book was finalized, most, if not all, of the original manufacturers of<br />

non-standard writers modified their devices to conform to the final requirements.<br />

However, there still is a remnant installed population, albeit minuscule, of the older, nonstandard<br />

writers in use. Some of these can be upgraded to be in compliance with the<br />

Orange Book (usually by the manufacturer for a moderate price) but this information is<br />

not always widely publicized or known. It is quite possible that no problems are<br />

encountered when reading with these devices, but when using newer, multi-speed capable<br />

media types, users may encounter what appear to be “<strong>compatibility</strong>” problems due to the<br />

violation of Orange Book writing guidelines.<br />

The current release of the Orange Book (Part II: CD-R, Version 3.0, December 1997)<br />

continues to refine the relationship between CD-R media and CD recorder writing<br />

functions. The defined recording speeds now include 1X, 2X and 4X nominal CD speed.<br />

Improved definitions have been established for CD-R media to implement optimum<br />

writing power controls between the recorder and the media. Likewise special information<br />

can be coded into blank CD-R media to identify its disc type and the starting or indicative<br />

optimum writing power.<br />

Future improvements to CD-R media and recording systems can be expected due to the<br />

ongoing work of Philips and Sony as they further refine Orange Book specifications.<br />

Likewise the Orange Forum (formerly known as OSJ, the Orange Book Study Group of<br />

Japan) continues its work to support Philips and Sony by addressing CD-R market<br />

introduction issues.<br />

Today, concerns regarding <strong>compatibility</strong> are greatly diminished due to major advances in<br />

the quality and robustness of writers, media, and readers. Like all recordable technologies,<br />

some problems are still encountered with CD-R. However, in almost all instances, these<br />

can be attributed to systems conflicts, software deficiencies, or the occasional<br />

malfunctioning writer or reader.<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

• The <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong> complements others that are ongoing. It is intended to provide<br />

a “snapshot” of current writer/media/reader performance and interchange. The<br />

emphasis is on <strong>compatibility</strong> and interchange.<br />

• All specific information generated as part of the <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong> is treated as<br />

privileged and is not to be used for competitive purposes. Individual companies<br />

will obtain detailed <strong>results</strong> only for their own products and no others.<br />

• The general, overall <strong>results</strong> and conclusions will be widely shared in a format<br />

agreed upon by the Steering Committee.<br />

Some have questioned the value of the <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong>, since the media and hardware<br />

companies are directly involved in the testing process and the specific test <strong>results</strong> are not<br />

publicly disclosed. However, it should be reiterated that <strong>OSTA</strong>'s goal is to explore the<br />

level of <strong>compatibility</strong> in commercially available CD-R systems. This not only provides<br />

manufacturers with valuable benchmarking data but also provides users with an objective<br />

indication of the capabilities of this technology. Conducting such a <strong>study</strong> with randomly<br />

selected drives and media might occasionally result in some unfavorable outcomes.<br />

However, one could reasonably question the value of this information to end users and<br />

manufacturers. What is ultimately important is that manufacturers use the <strong>results</strong> of this<br />

<strong>study</strong> to optimize the performance and <strong>compatibility</strong> of their products, so that end users<br />

enjoy the levels of success that are attainable.<br />

3.0 Summary of Phase 2 of the <strong>OSTA</strong> CD-R Compatibility Study<br />

Ten media companies and seven drive companies participated in Phase 1 of the <strong>study</strong>.<br />

This was expanded to ten media companies and eleven drive companies in Phase 2. One<br />

media company provided more than one version of their media. Likewise, two recorder<br />

manufacturers used two separate models of recorders to write test discs. This resulted in<br />

eleven media types and thirteen recording drives. The intent was to use the processes and<br />

protocols developed during Phase 1 for evaluating <strong>compatibility</strong> while, at the same time,<br />

maintaining the strict confidentiality that is required of a trade association.<br />

In Phase 2, four 74-minute discs <strong>from</strong> each vendor were fully written (with a standard<br />

test file) at the rated speed of the writers, compared to three discs per vendor used in<br />

Phase 1. This improved the testing confidence levels and provided better backup for<br />

physical damage due to handling and shipping between participants.<br />

The Phase 2 <strong>study</strong> was expanded to include blank media testing of Orange Book<br />

parameters by Apex Systems. Written discs were tested at CD Associates and Audio<br />

Development for physical <strong>compatibility</strong> using industry standard CD test equipment and<br />

procedures. Two different CD analysis systems were used to evaluate written CD-R<br />

media. Additionally, extensive CD-ROM reader <strong>compatibility</strong> testing was done by<br />

Eastman Kodak Company to ensure data retrieval could be accomplished <strong>from</strong> all written<br />

discs. The <strong>results</strong> <strong>from</strong> Phase 2 of the <strong>study</strong> continue to be encouraging.<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

With properly functioning systems, a very high degree of <strong>compatibility</strong> was<br />

observed. Some of the highlights include:<br />

• Results of Phase 2 testing showed improvement over Phase 1, where similar<br />

testing occurred (written media and reader interchange <strong>compatibility</strong>). The written<br />

discs and writers did not show any significant deviations <strong>from</strong> the global<br />

population statistics. The average BLER <strong>from</strong> Phase 2 was 6.29 counts per<br />

second (cps), which was an improvement over the 8.3 cps of Phase 1 testing.<br />

• The new tests for blank media showed that pre-recorded parameters (land and<br />

groove reflection, push-pull, radial contrast and wobble carrier-to-noise ratio)<br />

show fairly small radial dependency characteristics for each manufacturer’s<br />

process. The consistency of the individual manufacturing processes shown in the<br />

measured parameters was impressive. Almost all parameters showed standard<br />

deviations less than two times the measurement repeatability. With the exception<br />

of push-pull, all measured parameters were within the Orange Book limits for<br />

almost all blank media measured.<br />

• A subset of all the written discs was read by thirteen CD-ROM readers that had<br />

speed ratings <strong>from</strong> 8X to 16X. The subset was comprised of the “worst” disc<br />

<strong>from</strong> each media/writer combination as measured by BLER. Even after selecting<br />

these “worst example” discs, the “User Convenience” index of the discs tested<br />

was 96% compared to replicated or pressed CD-ROMs used in the same readers.<br />

In summary, it was found that the CD-R industry shows clear signs of reaching maturity<br />

as evidenced by the absolute values and the consistency of the measured media<br />

parameters. The CD-R manufacturing processes used appear to converge on much tighter<br />

specifications than formally required, which is another sign of a mature industry.<br />

4.0 Logistics and Testing Issues<br />

Some delays were encountered in the delivery of both blank and recorded media, and this<br />

caused significant complications in testing and measurement. Additionally, some media<br />

was recalled by one of the manufacturers and then replaced. This caused a ripple effect<br />

throughout the entire logistics and testing with resultant delay of completion and<br />

reporting.<br />

Reporting delays were compounded by incompatible test equipment report formats and<br />

non-compatible graphic file formats.<br />

It has to be emphasized that all participation was voluntary, and it became extremely<br />

“difficult” for personnel at various companies to devote large amounts of unscheduled<br />

time and resources to such activities. In total, more than 1,000 hours of testing were done<br />

by the Phase 2 participants.<br />

4.2 Testing Goals<br />

The specific goals for Phase 2 were:<br />

• Determine if there were measured improvements of written disc quality compared<br />

to Phase 1 <strong>results</strong>.<br />

• Expand testing to include blank media testing and determine if measurements met<br />

Orange Book specifications.<br />

• Include higher speed readers for reader interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> and determine<br />

how higher speed recording and high speed reading affected data recovery as well<br />

as CD-R read access times compared to pressed CD-ROM.<br />

• Increase the number of media manufacturers and recorder manufacturers in the<br />

<strong>study</strong> to assess industry maturity trends.<br />

• Increase the number of recorded discs for each media/recorder combination <strong>from</strong><br />

three to four to statistically improve the <strong>study</strong> confidence limits.<br />

5.0 Communication of Results<br />

The participating companies prepared <strong>results</strong> of their individual studies and made<br />

presentations to <strong>OSTA</strong> member company representatives during regularly scheduled<br />

<strong>OSTA</strong> CD/DVD Physical Compatibility Subcommittee meetings.<br />

Reports to <strong>OSTA</strong> members included:<br />

• Blank CD-R Media Testing Report<br />

• Physical Compatibility of Written Media Report<br />

• CD-R Interchangeability Study<br />

• Interchange Readability Testing Report<br />

Global population data <strong>from</strong> the blank media testing and recorded CD-R quality testing is<br />

available in Excel format and can be obtained by accessing the <strong>OSTA</strong> World Wide Web<br />

site, www.<strong>osta</strong>.org.<br />

6.0 Blank Media Testing<br />

In the parameter <strong>compatibility</strong> <strong>study</strong> we set out to compare the following Orange Book<br />

parameters: linear velocity, land and groove reflectivity, push-pull, radial contrast, radial<br />

noise, wobble amplitude, wobble CNR, ATIP error rate and optimal write power (at 1X,<br />

2X and 4X) for all submitted CD-R media (i.e. five blank discs each <strong>from</strong> 11<br />

manufacturing processes). The <strong>study</strong> investigated variability of these parameters as a<br />

function of disc radius, within the sets of five and between manufacturers.<br />

The entire test was executed by Apex Systems on a single Apex OHMT-500 CD-R<br />

tester, which was regularly monitored for drift using two reference discs. As a<br />

consequence the reported variations and deviations could all be proven to be statistically<br />

significant and accurate. For detailed measurement conditions, methods and <strong>results</strong>, one is<br />

referred to the full report. The findings and conclusions are, in summary:<br />

• Many of the pre-recorded parameters, but in particular land and groove reflection,<br />

push-pull, radial contrast and wobble CNR, show (fairly small) radial<br />

dependencies characteristic for the manufacturing process. Each manufacturer<br />

appears to have a unique combination of these, effectively supplying a<br />

“fingerprint” of the process.<br />

• Optimal write power does not appear to vary across the disc for most media with<br />

the notable exception of two manufacturers.<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

• The consistency of the individual manufacturing processes as shown in the<br />

measured parameters was impressive. Almost all parameters showed standard<br />

deviations less than two times the measurement repeatability.<br />

• With the exception of “push-pull” measured parameters were within Orange Book<br />

specification for almost all media. Push-pull is known to be high for many media<br />

(especially when measured with linear polarization parallel to the grooves), and<br />

negative effects of this are not known.<br />

• There is a tendency in the industry to cluster the parameter values in a much<br />

tighter range than required by the Orange Book. Most media look very similar<br />

<strong>from</strong> a parameter point of view. The few exceptions that are outside these tight<br />

clusters are usually still well within specification.<br />

In final conclusion it was found that the CD-R media industry shows clear signs of<br />

reaching maturity in the absolute values and the consistency of the measured<br />

parameters. The manufacturing processes used appear to converge on much<br />

tighter specifications than formally required, which is another sign of a mature<br />

industry that centers on specification values for optimal system margins.<br />

6.1 Tester Properties<br />

All measurements were executed on an Apex Systems OHMT-500 CD-R tester, which<br />

can test both pre-recorded and recording parameters of CD-R media. The basic tester<br />

characteristics are:<br />

• Wavelength 782 nm, NA = 0.50, linear polarization (parallel to groove)<br />

• Peak recording power 18 mW (5 ns rise & fall times)<br />

• Spindle shaft radial runout < 2 µm (< 0.07 µm non-repeatable)<br />

• RF read channel DC - 30 MHz + 1 dB<br />

6.2 Pre-recording Parameters<br />

6.2.1 Measurement Procedure<br />

The following parameters were measured on sets of five unrecorded media <strong>from</strong> 11<br />

different manufacturing processes.<br />

RC Radial contrast<br />

RN Radial noise (nm)<br />

WA Wobble amplitude<br />

WC Wobble CNR<br />

AE ATIP errors (1X) over 3,000 frames each<br />

Before measurement of each set of five discs, one of two control discs was measured<br />

for the same parameters.<br />

6.2.2 Control measurements<br />

A summary of the control measurements (six on each control disc) is given in Appendix<br />

A. In addition to the individual measurements on discs CO1 and CO2, their average over<br />

the disc is given. The graphs under the tables show the averages of the six measurements.<br />

As an illustration of the variation encountered, the two separate graphs for groove<br />

reflection and wobble amplitude show all individual measurements. The statistics of the<br />

test show that, within the accuracy, there was no observable drift in any of the<br />

measurements. The standard deviation of the control <strong>results</strong> give the following<br />

repeatability of the measurements:<br />

DLV - 0.002 m/s, Refl. - 0.3%, PP - 0.001, RC - 0.004,<br />

RN - 0.5 nm, WA - 1.5 nm, WC - 0.5 dB, AE - 1<br />

There were some problems with the Wobble CNR measurement routine software,<br />

resulting in several missed measurements in both the controls and actual tested media.<br />

Early in the tests the ATIP measurement board was replaced, and measurements were<br />

repeated to obtain a full set of ATIP error tests. However, some control measurements<br />

for this were skipped.<br />

6.2.3 Individual Media Series Measurements<br />

All participating manufacturers (indicated by AA, BB, ..., LL) submitted five discs, here<br />

numbered 1 - 5. These were measured for all parameters. Individual measurements for a<br />

manufacturer were averaged and tabulated in a series comparison (Appendix A). From<br />

the statistics of all manufacturers a median, average and standard deviation were<br />

determined. The median, median + 1 standard deviation (upper sd) and median - 1<br />

standard deviation (lower sd) were then put back into the individual tables to allow<br />

comparison with the total industry <strong>results</strong>.<br />

8 © <strong>OSTA</strong> – <strong>Optical</strong> Storage Technology Association


CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

Two manufacturers apparently submitted media <strong>from</strong> two different manufacturing<br />

conditions. Simple averaging of such sets of five media gave anomalous <strong>results</strong>, suggesting<br />

high parameter variation. Instead, the averages for the subsets were taken and identified<br />

as respectively DD, dd and JJ, jj. Individual reports of the performance of the media<br />

<strong>from</strong> different manufacturers are prepared separately. Some excerpts are shown in<br />

Appendix A to illustrate general <strong>results</strong>.<br />

Only one series (KK) showed a DLV below specification. However, the deviation<br />

(0.004) is very close to the estimated absolute measurement accuracy. This series also<br />

shows the variation of land and groove reflection with radius, a property that varies in<br />

appearance for different media designs. Apparently the combination of pregroove<br />

structure, spin coating and reflector sputtering <strong>results</strong> in a unique reflection signature for<br />

media. This is also illustrated in series LL. This series is one of a few exhibiting below<br />

specification groove reflection.<br />

Most media show significantly above spec push-pull values. Series EE is a clear example.<br />

One of the few discs that are within the spec limits (see arrows) is shown in series DD.<br />

This series clearly indicates that the series consists of two subsets. Every series easily<br />

achieved the required radial contrast values.<br />

The lowest values for radial noise were consistently achieved in series JJ on media with<br />

largely below specification wobble amplitude. Interestingly, the series with the highest<br />

and significantly above specification wobble amplitude (FF) showed high radial noise.<br />

Apparently some of the modulated wobble content is found within the radial noise<br />

measurement band.<br />

Wobble CNR was always in specification. The media with the highest wobble CNR<br />

(AA) coincided with the lowest ATIP Error Rate, but others with much lower CNR also<br />

showed low ATER. Only one series (HH) gave extremely high errors at a relatively low<br />

wobble CNR. It is believed that this unlikely high ATER is due to some as yet not<br />

understood in<strong>compatibility</strong> with the tester’s ATIP decoder.<br />

The consistency of the manufacturing processes in general was very impressive for these<br />

admittedly small (and likely close to sequentially drawn) sample sizes. Only a few<br />

reflection (and consequently radial contrast) measurements showed standard deviations<br />

larger than two times the measurement repeatability.<br />

6.2.4 Comparison of the Measurement Series<br />

A compilation of the averages of each media series <strong>results</strong> is given in Appendix A. As<br />

mentioned earlier, two series were split into subsets (DD, dd and JJ, jj) to account for the<br />

apparent different manufacturing conditions in the subsets. From the data both a median<br />

and an average was calculated to identify asymmetry and/or outliers in the distribution.<br />

Also the standard deviation was calculated and the values of the median + standard<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

deviation and the median - standard deviation were used as criteria for how closely the<br />

industry is clustered around a parameter’s median.<br />

For DLV only two series were outside the cluster, one slightly above (CC at 1.250 m/s)<br />

and one slightly below (KK at 1.196 m/s). The distribution shows no outliers.<br />

Average land reflection shows two manufacturers far away <strong>from</strong> the cluster (JJ/jj and LL)<br />

at about - two standard deviations <strong>from</strong> the median. They are very close to the<br />

specification limit (arrow). The cluster is quite tight within a range of no more than 1.5<br />

standard deviations. The cluster average is 83.3%.<br />

The same manufacturers (JJ/jj and LL) are also about - two standard deviations <strong>from</strong> the<br />

median on average groove reflection and now well below the specification limit. Here<br />

another series (GG) is away <strong>from</strong> the cluster at about - 1 standard deviation and close to<br />

the specification limit. The remaining cluster is very tight in a range of close to 1 standard<br />

deviation at an average of 74.1%.<br />

The distribution of average push-pull values is largely outside the formal specification<br />

range (0.40 - 0.90). Only two series (dd and HH) lie entirely within the range and two<br />

others (CC and KK) come within measurement error. If dd is omitted <strong>from</strong> the series the<br />

cluster average is at 0.105, covering a slightly over two standard deviation range.<br />

All submitted media meet the radial contrast specification. They cover a wide set of<br />

measurement values. The average is at 0.141 with a spread of about that same value.<br />

Series BB, EE, FF, GG, HH and jj lie largely outside the +/- 1 standard deviation range,<br />

but given the scatter of the measurements no significance should be attached to that.<br />

All radial noise values were measured to be well within specification. The measured<br />

average values have one clear outlier (FF). If that one is omitted the cluster is averaged at<br />

10.2 nm in a range slightly over two standard deviations.<br />

The average wobble amplitude measurements show the same outlier (FF). All others lie<br />

in a cluster averaging at 27.5 nm with a range of about two standard deviations. Though<br />

no other series deviates substantially <strong>from</strong> the cluster, one at the low end (jj) is measured<br />

just out of specification.<br />

All wobble CNR measurements were well above the specification limit. If the total set is<br />

considered to be a single cluster, it has an average of 44.5 dB and a rather wide range of<br />

about 3 standard deviations. A possible alternate view identifies two clusters: one high<br />

CNR relatively narrowly distributed and one medium CNR with a much wider spread in<br />

which most individual series vary significantly too. The high CNR cluster consists of<br />

AA, FF, JJ, jj and LL with an average of 46.7 dB and a standard deviation of 0.4 dB (all<br />

measurements within +/- 1.1 dB). The medium CNR cluster averages 43.2 dB with a<br />

standard deviation of 1.3 dB (all measurements but one within +/- 3.2 dB).<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

Surprisingly there does not appear to be a correlation between wobble CNR and wobble<br />

amplitude.<br />

The measured ATIP Error Rates were several orders of magnitude better than the required<br />

10%, with the earlier mentioned exception of the HH series. Omitting that series ( a yet<br />

unexplained tester in<strong>compatibility</strong>) we arrive at an impressive industry average of 0.07%,<br />

with the best series (EE) showing at 0.005% and the worst one (KK) at 0.17%. Of<br />

course this is based on relatively limited sampling of 75,000 frames or 1000 seconds per<br />

series, but it indicates that the inherent quality of the production processes is more than<br />

sufficient to guarantee reliable addressing.<br />

6.3 Recording Tests<br />

6.3.1 Measurement Procedure<br />

Each disc was recorded under the following conditions:<br />

For 1X rotation, two write power series (one starting at ATIP 3 min., the other starting at<br />

ATIP 46 min.) <strong>from</strong> 4.4 mW to 7.2 mW (step 0.4 mW). For 2X rotation, two write<br />

power series (one starting at ATIP 4 min., the other starting at ATIP 47 min.) <strong>from</strong> 6.6<br />

mW to 10.8 mW (step 0.6 mW). For 4X rotation, two write power series (one starting at<br />

ATIP 5 min., the other starting at ATIP 48 min.) <strong>from</strong> 12.0 mW to 17.6 mW (step 0.8<br />

mW).<br />

Each write was 225 frames (3 seconds) long with 3 second gaps between writes.<br />

The recording method was the so called (n-1)T method, where the write period for each<br />

feature is one clock period shorter than the feature length with the exception of the<br />

shortest feature (3T) write period which was elongated by a fixed 30 ns. For 1X writing<br />

this is in agreement with the Orange book recommendation (2.13T); for 2X writing it is<br />

slightly longer (2.26T) than recommended; and for 4X writing this makes the shortest<br />

write pulse about 2.5T.<br />

For each write, the value of beta was measured starting at a location 1 second after the<br />

start of the write. From these measurements the value of the write power for which beta<br />

= 0.04 (the optimal power Pw) was determined by interpolation (and an occasional<br />

extrapolation). An example of this is given on page A3.1 of Appendix A, followed by an<br />

overview and statistics of all measurement <strong>results</strong>.<br />

It should be noted that there are no measurement <strong>results</strong> for several discs in the series.<br />

This was mainly due to the enforced rigorous measurement sequence, where as soon as an<br />

individual write was canceled (due to a defect, a tracking error or other) no second attempt<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

to rewrite was made and also the subsequent writes in the sequence were deleted. In the<br />

case of manufacturer HH, only three discs could be measured due to the earlier mentioned<br />

ATIP read in<strong>compatibility</strong>.<br />

6.3.2 Results of the Individual Measurement Series<br />

Almost all measurement <strong>results</strong> within series were very close, as can be seen <strong>from</strong> the<br />

Appendix A table. Typically the Pw values for the same manufacturer at the same<br />

location and writing speed on a disc were within the measurement error (0.1 mW). At the<br />

4X measurements, this variation grew a bit to 0.2 mW. There were three exceptions:<br />

Disc DD4 behaved significantly differently <strong>from</strong> the others in the series, and a consistent<br />

Pw could not be obtained at the outer radius.<br />

Series FF showed two different sets (FF1, FF2) and (FF3, FF4, FF5). The averages of<br />

the separate sets can be seen to yield significantly different Pw at the outer radius for all<br />

speeds. This difference had not been noticed in the pre-recorded parameters. However,<br />

looking back at the original <strong>results</strong>, there is a significant difference between these sets in<br />

the Push-pull and Radial Contrast values at the outer radius only (see attached page).<br />

Series JJ showed the same split as in the pre-recorded parameters, where the difference in<br />

Pw between the sets is significant at all speeds and locations.<br />

Most series showed little or no difference in Pw between the inner and the outer radius.<br />

The clear exceptions were series CC and KK. Series FF showed some differences also,<br />

with different behavior between the earlier identified separate sets.<br />

6.3.3 Comparison of the Series<br />

All media that could be measured were, given the measurement accuracy, in specification.<br />

From the graphs that show all combined <strong>results</strong>, it is clear that there is a significant<br />

clustering of the Pw values for the majority of the series. This cluster is within very<br />

narrow limits: 4.6 - 5.2 mW at 1X, 7.0 - 7.6 mW at 2X and 10.5 - 11.1 mW at 4X. It<br />

appears that a very similar recording layer design and manufacturing process must exist<br />

between these series.<br />

The series that deviate <strong>from</strong> the main cluster are CC, FF, ff and KK (and to some extent<br />

jj, but only noticeable at 4X). These series were identified above also as exhibiting Pw<br />

differences between inner and outer radius.<br />

7.0 Physical Compatibility Testing<br />

7.1 Logistics<br />

All media was tested by CD Associates at 1X on a standard (QT-6) position analysis<br />

system by CD Associates. The QT-6 equipment was calibrated using a Philips verified<br />

multi-power disc. The calibration was also monitored using a standard Philips 5B.2/3<br />

reference disc. No recalibration was performed during the test. The reference disc was<br />

used to monitor the testing.<br />

• All media was tested in the order that it was received.<br />

• The media was received at CDA between November 26, 1996, and February 14,<br />

1997.<br />

• (11 media types) x (13 writers) x (4 discs) = 572 tests.<br />

• Some vendors delivered five written discs.<br />

• Four discs reported damaged in shipping.<br />

• One disc damaged in testing.<br />

• Media 11 disc were not delivered by all participants.<br />

• Data was collected using the Record.file option in the CDA software. All data<br />

files were collected <strong>from</strong> the testing. A data disc with all of the ASCII and *.CDA<br />

file information was created for the testing subcommittee.<br />

• Equipment calibration was checked three times during the testing period. The<br />

<strong>results</strong> were added to the raw data file.<br />

7.4 Conclusions<br />

The most significant observation here is the very clear evidence that hardware and media<br />

manufacturers have made definite efforts to conform to the Orange Book requirements<br />

and guidelines. Additionally, lower average BLER and average Push-Pull values were<br />

observed for Phase 2 <strong>results</strong> compared to Phase 1. Also, there were no outliers with all<br />

participants included in the global data. Overall, the global distribution was tighter on all<br />

measured parameters compared to Phase 1, which supports a conclusion of reduced<br />

failure rate for CD-R media in general.<br />

8.0 Physical Compatibility Testing<br />

This test by Audio Development provided a cross check of written disc quality as<br />

previously reported by CD Associates. Almost all media were within the prescribed<br />

specifications, and a high level of <strong>compatibility</strong> was observed. Apart <strong>from</strong> describing the<br />

summary data that is contained in the Appendix, Audio Development presented some of<br />

the more popular metrics that are commonly used for media performance characterization,<br />

including BLER and jitter. While describing how BLER was, for example, quite suited to<br />

characterizing hard errors (as would be induced by defects, damage, dust, etc.) Audio<br />

Development introduced the need for a metric that provided a measure of the soft error<br />

rate, which is the uncertainty that is a consequence of the system detection margin. While<br />

jitter can be used for this purpose, Audio Development proposed the use of a composite<br />

metric or figure of merit (Weighted Average Window Margin) and they provided a<br />

rationale for how this parameter, made up as it is of the 36 jitter and deviation<br />

measurements that are a result of time interval analysis, is suited to this role.<br />

Equalization (which often is the cause of discrepancies between, say, 3T jitter and BLER)<br />

could also be incorporated in the calculated margin. A very similar composite figure of<br />

merit “<strong>phase</strong> margin” was discussed at the February 6, 1996, <strong>OSTA</strong> meeting by Jim<br />

Durnin of Eastman Kodak.<br />

A more thorough discussion of Weighted Average Window Margin is found in<br />

Appendix C.<br />

9.0 Interchange Compatibility Testing<br />

Compatibility can be measured using various metrics derived <strong>from</strong> commercially available<br />

test equipment, and this was exhaustively undertaken as part of the <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong>.<br />

However, it is often difficult to quantify ultimate customer experience in terms of these<br />

parameters, since the linkage between testers and CD-ROM readers is unclear. A<br />

profitable pathway is to <strong>study</strong> the playability and interchangeability of written discs in<br />

commercially available CD-ROM readers. Below is a summary description of the<br />

comprehensive <strong>compatibility</strong> and interchange test conducted as part of the <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong>.<br />

Introduction<br />

Fully written discs <strong>from</strong> the <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong> were tested by Eastman Kodak Company for<br />

interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> using the popular CD-ROM readers listed in Table 1. To<br />

reduce the volume of testing, it was decided to only select those discs <strong>from</strong> each<br />

writer/media combination that displayed the highest (or worst) Block Error Rate.<br />

Therefore, rather than test all three or four brand ‘X’ discs written in the brand ‘Y’ writer,<br />

we selected that disc which appeared worst on the basis of the testing previously<br />

undertaken by CD Associates and Audio Development. In a sense, this constituted the<br />

worst case scenario.<br />

22 © <strong>OSTA</strong> – <strong>Optical</strong> Storage Technology Association


CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

As with Phase 1 of the <strong>OSTA</strong> <strong>study</strong>, the interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> was quantified using a<br />

“User Convenience Index.” This attempts to describe playability in terms of the<br />

possible end user experience with that particular disc/reader combination. For example, if<br />

more than three insertion retries were required for the disc to spin up, a failure was<br />

recorded. If more than three retries were required to access a particular directory or file,<br />

this constituted a failure. If a high speed CD-ROM reader reverted to a lower read speed<br />

(which could happen, for example, if excessive error correction is required), a failure was<br />

recorded. A detailed description of the Kodak Interchange Compatibility Study and the<br />

various failure conditions and codes can be found in Appendix A.<br />

The Test<br />

The interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> test consisted of a byte level read and compare of the<br />

standard data set that was recorded on the CD-R discs. Data read off the discs was<br />

compared with the identical data set resident on the hard disc of the host computer<br />

system. Ultimately what this test established was the recoverability and accessibility of<br />

the data recorded on the CD-R discs. The test did not go into great detail on the<br />

performance side (access times, transfer rates, error rates, etc.). However, this additional<br />

testing may be undertaken in the future using a standard testing protocol.<br />

Extreme care was taken during the <strong>study</strong>, and the individual tests to not introduce any<br />

spurious effects that could influence or compromise the <strong>results</strong>. Due to the very limited<br />

sample sizes, care had to be taken in drawing definitive conclusions about specific<br />

writer/reader/media combinations. Instead, 95% confidence limits were calculated for<br />

batches of tests to facilitate somewhat more realistic comparisons and permit broader<br />

conclusions to be drawn.<br />

Results & Discussion<br />

Figure 9.1 summarizes the interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> of all the 118 written discs averaged<br />

over all the writers and readers. As can be seen, with the exception of two media<br />

varieties, the resulting interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> was excellent. The average User<br />

Convenience Index was on the order of 96%, a number that would typically be<br />

associated with a sample of conventional pressed CD-ROM discs tested in a similar<br />

fashion. This is quite encouraging, given the fact that all the CD-R discs were written at<br />

2x, 4x, and 6x speeds. At the time the test was conducted, the Orange Book did not<br />

encompass high speed recording (specifically 4x recording) and there are some media<br />

varieties that were designed to perform better at higher speeds than others. The media<br />

varieties that fell short of the others did so when written at higher speeds. For 2x<br />

recording speeds, however, the performance of all media varieties was comparable,<br />

namely at the 95% confidence level.<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

Figure 9.2 presents the same data CD-ROM by reader. Each data point is the averaged<br />

score for that particular reader averaged over all writers and discs. Once again, we observe<br />

some differentiation between brands, and it was the discs written at higher speeds that<br />

served to partially differentiate the reader performance. At the same time, it is<br />

abundantly clear that some readers were capable of handling just about every disc<br />

satisfactorily, certainly according to their rated capabilities. The markedly poorer<br />

performance of reader 9 was primarily due to an (initially puzzling) in<strong>compatibility</strong> with<br />

all discs written on writer 8. We subsequently found that this was due to a firmware<br />

problem in the reader, a problem that was associated with the precise manner in which<br />

certain data identifiers were recorded. This problem was independently found and<br />

rectified by the reader manufacturer and, strictly speaking, unfairly biased the<br />

writer/media/reader <strong>compatibility</strong> that we sought to examine. In fact, it was strictly a<br />

writer/reader issue.<br />

Figure 9.3 depicts the resulting interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> by writer (averaging over all<br />

discs and readers). Once again, some differentiation was observed, including the<br />

exaggerated poor performance of writer 8 due to the above-mentioned problem.<br />

Figure 9.4 compares the time taken to read all the data off the CD-R discs with that for a<br />

pressed disc containing the identical data set. There is some scatter in the data, but<br />

nothing of great significance; all the CD-R media performed at a similar level. On average,<br />

the CD-R discs took about 2% longer to read back than the pressed disc. It is likely that<br />

if we undertook this comparison and used a large sample of CD-ROM discs, particularly<br />

ones with some range of performance parameters, the resulting read times would have<br />

been more or less indistinguishable. In Figure 9.5 we have similar data, except it is<br />

plotted with respect to the writers. As before, notice the anomalous result for writer 8,<br />

though the corresponding average result for reader 9 is excellent due to its outstanding<br />

performance with the discs written on other writers (see Figure 9.6).<br />

We conducted a similar <strong>compatibility</strong> <strong>study</strong> in 1995 using a smaller number of<br />

writer/media/reader combinations. At that time, despite the more significant<br />

complications associated with high speed recording, we obtained a very favorable overall<br />

<strong>compatibility</strong> rating. Despite selecting the worst case discs <strong>from</strong> the Phase 2 <strong>study</strong>, we<br />

observe that the overall <strong>compatibility</strong> situation has noticeably improved, as seen in<br />

Figure 9.7. There is still a somewhat lower success rating for high speed recording, but<br />

the situation is markedly improved. Just to provide an indication of the sensitivity of the<br />

cumulative <strong>results</strong> to the outlying data, we compared the writer user convenience index<br />

with and without the worst media/reader data. As can be seen Figure 9.8, this resulted in<br />

a marked improvement of the performance of writer 8 and boosted the overall score <strong>from</strong><br />

94% to over 97%. Extensive testing at Kodak has shown that a score of > 92% generally<br />

constitutes acceptable <strong>compatibility</strong> <strong>from</strong> an end user perspective and is the lower limit<br />

that one might expect using a wide sampling of pressed CD-ROM discs.<br />

24 © <strong>OSTA</strong> – <strong>Optical</strong> Storage Technology Association


CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

Given the excellent interchange <strong>compatibility</strong> that was observed, we attempted to go back<br />

and examine if there was any correlation between general playability and the Block Error<br />

Rate (BLER) measurements that were previously made. As can be seen in Figure 9.9,<br />

there is no clear correlation, but bear in mind that the firmware conflict between the writer<br />

8 written discs and reader 9 probably contribute somewhat to the inconclusive <strong>results</strong>.<br />

At the same time, the measured BLER values were substantially below the Orange Book<br />

specification limit of 220 cps; the measured average was 6.29 cps (compared to an average<br />

of 8.3 cps in the Phase I testing). Given the nature of digital errors, it is perhaps<br />

reasonable that no performance trends would be observed until the Block Error Rate<br />

increased substantially.<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

10.0 Burst-Error Testing and Analysis<br />

The burst statistics were compiled as an additional measure of writer/media interactions.<br />

As with the playability testing, this testing by Eastman Kodak Company was<br />

undertaken, only on those discs <strong>from</strong> a particular writer/media combination with the<br />

highest BLER values (what some would consider the “worst case” scenario). What this<br />

testing revealed was that the burst error characteristics of discs written at high speeds<br />

(>4X) were, for the most part, comparable to those written at 1X and 2X. In addition,<br />

the testing revealed that the error characteristics of written CD-R discs were comparable,<br />

and in many instances superior, to pressed CD-ROM discs. In total, the testing showed<br />

that some 4 MB of data out of approximately 70 GB were in error (though not<br />

uncorrectable) which translates into a rather comfortable (<strong>from</strong> an ECC standpoint)<br />

average byte error rate of 6E-05.<br />

The conventional measures of error performance in CDs, BLER and BERL, state errors<br />

with block resolution, while burst analysis allows errors to be characterized at the byte<br />

level. An error burst is defined to be a group of physically consecutive bytes in error.<br />

The length of the burst is just the number of sequential bytes in error. Theoretically,<br />

based on a typical decoding strategy, a single burst of length 258 bytes or greater will<br />

result in an E32 error. E22 errors will result <strong>from</strong> bursts longer than 160 bytes, while<br />

bursts shorter than 97 bytes will not cause an E22 error. Bursts with lengths between 97<br />

and 160 bytes may cause an E22 depending on the physical location. These comments<br />

apply to only single bursts. The proximity of other bursts will have a detrimental<br />

impact.<br />

The byte level error detection was done in a Kodak PCD600 CD-R recorder equipped<br />

with additional proprietary hardware and software. In general, byte level error detection<br />

is read channel dependent. The PCD600 read channel is, by design, ‘detuned’ to<br />

approximate a typical CD reader when employed for media write verification.<br />

The data presented here is <strong>from</strong> 106 discs used in the <strong>OSTA</strong> Phase II Interchange<br />

Compatibility Study. These discs comprised the worst disc <strong>from</strong> each writer/media<br />

combination. Since there is only a single disc for each combination, statistical confidence<br />

for any inferences is limited. In total, approximately 4 MB were found to be in error.<br />

Since there are about 70 GB of written data, this corresponds to an average error rate of<br />

~ 6•10 -5 . Additionally, media type #11 was not written in all writers, and all media<br />

written in writer #3 could not be successfully tested — cause still under investigation.<br />

Figure 10.1 is the histogram of all the error bursts found in this <strong>study</strong>. There were no<br />

single bursts detected that were capable of generating an E32 error. Considering only the<br />

longest burst on each disc <strong>results</strong> in the histogram in Figure 10.2. This figure shows that<br />

only three discs had definite E22’s and another six discs had possible E22’s. The peak in<br />

the histogram at a burst length of 64 bytes is due to loss of synchronization. Figure 10.3<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

shows the burst length histograms for three discs. The blue data represents the worst<br />

disc in the <strong>study</strong> — media type #11 in writer #11. The other two sets of data are <strong>from</strong><br />

two other combinations involving this writer and media type. The cyan plot is for media<br />

type #9 in writer #11, and the magenta plot is for media type #11 in writer #10. Clearly,<br />

it is possible to obtain very good <strong>results</strong> with media type #11 and writer #11 in other<br />

combinations. Since the blue <strong>results</strong> are <strong>from</strong> a single disc, it is possible to assign this<br />

result to a media/writer interaction without examining many more discs.<br />

Figure 10.4 shows the longest (worst) error burst on each disc plotted by media type<br />

and writer. In addition to the recorded CD-R media, the <strong>results</strong> of reading pressed CD’s<br />

with the same data content are also shown for comparison. It is also of interest to note<br />

that writers #4, #8 and #10 are high speed (4X and greater) recorders. The media types<br />

were quite equivalent in performance with regard to the median longest burst length. A<br />

few of the media types exhibited maximum values that were much larger than the norm,<br />

while others exhibited minimum values that were much larger. The median performance<br />

of the writers was quite similar, with some writers exhibiting significantly larger minimum<br />

or maximum values. It is worth noting that the high speed recorders as a group performed<br />

better than the lower speed recorders at controlling the size of the error bursts.<br />

Figure 10.5 presents another approach to the data. The plots show the fraction of<br />

recorded discs that contain one or more possible E22’s by media type and writer. The<br />

only statistically significant <strong>results</strong> are that media type #2 had more discs with possible<br />

E22’s and that the high speed recorders produced fewer discs with E22’s than did the<br />

lower speed writers.<br />

Figure 10.6 illustrates the dependence of burst frequency on media type and writer.<br />

With the exception of media type #7, the recorded CD-R media outperformed the pressed<br />

discs. The higher speed recorders tend to generate a larger number of error bursts. The<br />

number of bursts is examined in more detail in Figures 10.7 and 10.8. In these figures the<br />

burst statistics are divided further into single byte and multiple byte bursts. In Figure<br />

10.6 media type #7 is shown to lead significantly in single byte bursts, correlating to the<br />

lower contrast <strong>results</strong> seen in this <strong>study</strong>, while media type #3 exhibits an elevated level of<br />

multiple byte bursts. The same data is plotted versus writer in Figure 10.8.<br />

Confirming earlier tests, no uncorrectable errors were found on these discs, which were<br />

the worst discs in the <strong>study</strong>. Among both media types and writers, there is generally<br />

good performance with a few instances of measurable deviation. There were some<br />

recorded discs that deviated substantially <strong>from</strong> the general population. Due to the small<br />

sample size, it is not possible to infer the cause. In general, high speed recorders used in<br />

this <strong>study</strong> produced discs with burst performance comparable to those recorded at lower<br />

speeds. The high speed recorders show a slightly elevated level of short error bursts<br />

while exhibiting better performance for maximum burst length. None of the high speed<br />

recorded discs had single burst capable of producing an E22 error.<br />

CD-R Compatibility Study – Phase 2<br />

11.0 Future Plans<br />

The improved and clustered <strong>results</strong> of Phase 2 provide all <strong>OSTA</strong> members with yardstick<br />

Global Population data that can be used to further improve CD-R media and recorders.<br />

The improvement in CD-R media compared to Phase 1 shows that CD-R media quality<br />

has been established, and that allows the industry to focus on other issues, such as drive<br />

standardization and recording software. The consistency of the media manufacturing<br />

processes is impressive and is a tribute to the collective work of many <strong>OSTA</strong> companies<br />

to promote successful implementation of the CD-R Orange Book specification.<br />

Final proof of CD-R value to the end user is that the high speed reading tests compare<br />

almost identically to pressed CD-ROMs for data access times and playability, with no<br />

loss of data even despite the purposeful selection of the “worst” recorded discs.<br />

The recorded CD-R media used in the Phase 2 <strong>study</strong> have already been repurposed as a<br />

resource provided to thirteen DVD-ROM drive manufacturers. Specifically these <strong>OSTA</strong><br />

discs will be used to assist in implementation of the “MultiRead” specification to ensure<br />

that DVD-ROM drives are backward compatible for reading CD-R media, thus further<br />

protecting the current investment in CD-R media and recorders. <strong>OSTA</strong> intends to<br />

continue testing media and drives. Phase 3 testing will involve CD-RW media and<br />

recorders.<br />

Performance Code Description<br />

1 100 P The program completes and the prompt states: “all files verified”<br />

without failure/error.<br />

2 200 F The program completes and the prompt states: “1 or more files are<br />

different”, system continued to run test. (Corrupt data was based<br />

back to the host on a successful I/O.)<br />

4-1 410 P The system is unable to start the initial read/compare command. The<br />

system prompts “not ready reading drive”, retry prompt is available.<br />

System resumed with no retry.<br />

4-2 420 F The system is unable to start the initial read/compare command. The<br />

system prompts “not ready reading drive”, retry prompt is available.<br />

System did not resume within 2 retries.<br />

5-1 510 P The test system is unable to start the initial read/compare command.<br />

The system prompts “not ready reading drive”, no retry prompt<br />

available. System does not realize a disc has been loaded or<br />

changed. System started after reloading disc once.<br />

5-2 520 F The test system is unable to start the initial read/compare command.<br />

The system prompts “not ready reading drive”, no retry prompt<br />

available. System does not realize a disc has been loaded or<br />

changed. System did not start after reloading disc.<br />

new 610 P Reject/Eject: CD ROM ejects/rejects disc, upon second try disc<br />

spins up.<br />

new 620 F Reject/Eject: CD ROM ejects/rejects on first and second try.<br />

new 700 F When compare program is initiated, PC comes back with “not high<br />

sierra or ISO 9660 format”.<br />

new 800 F Test stopped by operator, long read time (i.e. 5 consecutive files took<br />

greater than 5 minutes each, based on 1X read time).<br />

3-1 310 P The disc/drive combination listed a file in which an unrecoverable<br />

error was experienced, the system stopped running. Retry prompt is<br />

available. System did not resume within 2 retries.<br />

3-1, 3-1 310B P Two 310 codes occurred on 2 separate files.<br />

3-1, 3-1, 3-1 310C F Three 310 codes occurred on 3 separate files and disc is failed.<br />

3-1(first), 4-1 etc. 310X P/F Other performance codes involved – see comments (any<br />

combination of pass perf codes = P all others = F) other perf codes<br />

means any perf codes used outside 300 family. First code was 310.<br />

3-2(first), 4-2 etc. 320X F Other performance codes involved – see comments (other perf codes<br />

means any perf code used outside 300 family) first code was 320.<br />

4-1(first, 3-1 etc. 410X P/F Other performance codes involved – see comments (any<br />

combination of pass per codes = P all other = F) other perf codes<br />

means any perf code used 400 current family. First code was 410.<br />

5-1(first) 3, 2 etc. 510X P/F Other performance codes involved – see comments (any<br />

combination of pass perf codes = P all others = F) other perf codes<br />

means any perf code used outside 500 family. First code was 510.<br />

new 900 F When compare program is initiated, PC comes back with “unable to<br />

open files”.<br />

new 300 F During the compare, the disc/drive combination listed a file in which<br />

an unrecoverable error was experienced, the system stopped running.<br />

Retry prompt is not available. System did not resume with one retry.<br />

new 1000 F Does not see existing files or directory. No re-try prompt available.<br />

new 910 F Reads all files but unable to open one or more for compare. Finishes<br />

reads and states read time.<br />
