DAO vs TAO for DVD/Blu-ray

[Australian.Dev.Nerds]

Hello,

When burning data or video DVD or data or video Blu-ray which mode shall be used, DAO vs TAO?

There are many confusing information about DAO vs TAO on DVD and Blu-ray discs.

(not talking about CD)

Any advise please?

Thanks.

DOA = disc at once
TOA = track at once

DVD-Video, BDAV, and BDMV formats all have specs that outline this.

This can get too complicated too quickly. Easier is to tell us what you're trying to do.

Hello @lordsmurf
Thanks, sure I know they stand for disc/track at once

I mean some software that allow these 2 for non CD discs (DVD) which one should be chosen?

Considering Blu-ray and DVD are supposed to be only 1 data track on the disc (not counting recorders*), shouldn't make a difference as long as the disc has been properly finalized. However, experience shows that DAO has less playback issues.

*For recorders to do sequential recording, it will be doing TAO unless it takes advantage of other methods (packet, dvdram, etc).
