Patent attributes
Methods and media for pre-mastering in preparation for recording data files to optical media are provided. In one example, a method for pre-mastering includes receiving a selection of data files to be recorded to an optical media and generating a database in which to list the selection. The database is populated with the selection of data files which are identified by file node and listed in alphabetical order by directory. The method provides for accessing a file in the database, verifying a source location of the accessed file, verifying an integrity of the accessed file, and determining a destination location for the accessed file. The determining of the destination location includes determining a logical block to which at least a portion of the accessed file is to be recorded on the optical media.
