When burning a CD or DVD at home, you might find yourself wondering why data is always added from the center outwards? Would it really matter if the data was added in the opposite direction like old vinyl records were fixed? Is there more to it? Today’s SuperUser Q&A post has the answer to a curious reader’s question.

在家里刻录CD或DVD时，您可能会想知道为什么总是总是从中心向外添加数据？如果像固定旧唱片一样以相反的方向添加数据真的很重要吗？还有更多吗？今天的“超级用户问答”帖子回答了一个好奇的读者的问题。

问题 (The Question)

SuperUser reader Burgi wants to know why CDs and DVDs add data from the center outwards:

超级用户阅读器Burgi想知道为什么CD和DVD从中心向外添加数据：

Recently, I had to burn a DVD for the first time in ages and I was wondering why CDs and DVDs start adding data in the center of the disc and work their way toward the outer edge.

最近，我不得不第一次刻录DVD，这是为什么我想知道为什么CD和DVD开始在光盘中心添加数据并朝外边缘工作。

Older rotating-disc media like vinyl records started from the outer edge and went in toward the center, so it could not have been for historical reasons.

较早的旋转唱片媒体(如黑胶唱片)从外边缘开始进入中心，因此，由于历史原因，它不可能成为历史。

I am looking for good sources that explain the reasoning for this data structure/setup.

我正在寻找可以解释此数据结构/设置原因的良好资源。

Note that the assumption made in the question above is incorrect.

请注意，上面问题中的假设是不正确的。

Summary

摘要

For historical reasons, writing (and reading) from the inside makes sense (different sized discs are possible as explained in other answers).
由于历史原因，从内部进行写入(和读取)是有意义的(如其他答案所述，可以使用不同大小的光盘)。
For read performance reasons, modern discs may be written (and read) outside in or even in both directions (dual layer).
出于读取性能的原因，现代光盘可能在外面(甚至在两个方向(双层))上写入(和读取)。

Notes

笔记

Most discs are a standard size.
大多数光盘是标准尺寸。
Commercially produced CDs and DVDs are not written at all, they are stamped on a press.
商业生产的CD和DVD根本不写，它们被印在印刷机上。

The rest of this answer concentrates on the performance aspect. The exceptions to writing (and reading) from the inside are Xbox games (and other game consoles’ games) and Dual Layer DVDs (movies).

该答案的其余部分集中在性能方面。从内部进行写入(和读取)的例外是Xbox游戏(和其他游戏机的游戏)和双层DVD(电影)。

Xbox Games

Xbox游戏

Xbox games have the data written from the outside in for performance reasons. Since the outside is spinning faster than the inside, the data can be read faster.

由于性能原因，Xbox游戏的数据是从外部写入的。由于外部旋转的速度比内部旋转的速度快，因此可以更快地读取数据。

Dual Layer DVDs (Movies)

双层DVD(电影)

Dual Layer DVDs can be written in either direction, there are two write modes. Most movies are written using the opposite track path technique. A movie will be split across across the layers, so no seek back to the inner edge is needed at the layer change point.

双层DVD可以双向写入，有两种写入模式。大多数电影都是使用相反的轨迹路径技术编写的。电影将跨层拆分，因此在层更改点不需要向内边缘的搜索。
