CD-ROM of Macromedia Studio MX 2004.
CD-ROM (an acronym for Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) is an optical media format that was popular in the 1990s. It was superseded by the DVD-ROM format.
Specifications[]
The Red Book standard for compact discs specified a bit rate of 153,600 bytes (150 KB) per second, referred to as "1x" CD-ROM speed. Audio was encoded in 16-bit resolution at 44.1 kHz. The original standard specified that each disc could contain up to 99 tracks and store 650 MB (74 minutes).[1] The standard was later amended to allow variances of up to 700 MB (79.8 minutes),[2] though some drives have allowed for usable capacities as high as 750 MB (85 minutes).[3]
History[]
Macromedia Director helped drive early multimedia CD-ROM development. Director 4 was the first to delivered on CD-ROM, superseding floppy disks for installation.[4][5] Macromedia's "Studio" suites were also shipped on CD-ROM.[6] Adobe Systems, which acquired Macromedia in December 2005,[7] released subsequent versions of applications and suites on DVD-ROM.[8]
