The "thing" that I've heard is that CD-ROM drives have one less layer of
audio error CORRECTION than Audio CD players, but yet I've also heard that
DATA is more robust than AUDIO.
Informal experiments have borne this out. Perhaps I heard incorrectly and
the process that is missing from CDROM drives (even when playing audio
discs) is error CONCEALMENT.
I would appreciate it if you could take some time and explain the layers
of CORRECTION and (obviously CONCEALMENT for audio only) that are
available on the CD and the DVD. I say the latter because people make
claims that the error CORRECTION on the DVD is 10X better than the CD.
No doubt, Jerry will correct me when he has the opportunity, but you are
conflating two issues.
1. There is one layer of error correction applied to data discs (Mode 1 or
Mode 2, Form1) which is not used for CD-DA (audio) or for Mode 2 Form 2
(VCD). Eliminating that substantial protection permits an additional 12% or
so of recording time; the tradeoff is against increased probability of error.
2. In playback for analogue output, every CD drive applies error
concealment to make up for missing or erroneous audio data. That
interpolation does not apply to DAE - digital audio extraction.
