[CD writer] A common term for a computer-based CD recorder. CD writers can be either external or internal, for installation inside a computer's unused drive bay. Some computers now come with an internal CD writer already installed. 3, record 1, English, - CD%20writer

Computer-based CD writers are often called CD burners for a very simple reason. CD burners (or writers) actually heat small areas on the CD-R surface, which changes the reflectivity of the recording dye layer. 3, record 1, English, - CD%20writer

Les utilisateurs d'ordinateurs ont été les premiers à créer des CD chez eux [...] Deux types de graveurs de CD sont disponibles. Les graveurs de CD-R, qui utilisent des disques inscriptibles une seule fois, ou de CD-R/CD-RW, qui acceptent aussi bien des disques inscriptibles une seule fois que des disques CD-RW réinscriptibles. [...] L'enregistrement d'un CD sur ordinateur s'effectue de deux manières : directement sur le graveur de CD, ou sur le disque dur. L'enregistrement à l'aide du lecteur de disque dur offre l'avantage d'un contrôle maximal de la musique avant gravure. 4, record 1, French, - graveur%20de%20CD
