@subsection Mode1
Mode 1 is the data storage mode used by to store computer
data. The data is laid out in basically the same way as in and audio
CD format, except that the 2,352 bytes of data in each block are
broken down further. 2,048 of these bytes are for "real" data. The
other 304 bytes are used for an additional level of error detecting
and correcting code. This is necessary because data CDs cannot
tolerate the loss of a handful of bits now and then, the way audio
CDs can.
Mode 1 is the data storage mode used by to store computer data. There
are 3 layers of error correction. A Compact Disc using only this format can

@subsection Mode2
Mode 2 data CDs are the same as mode 1 CDs except that the error
detecting and correcting codes are omitted. This is similar to audio
CDs, i.e. the mode 2 format provides a more flexible vehicle for
storing types of data that do not require high data integrity: for
example, graphics and video can use this format. But in contrast to
the Red book standard, different modes can be mixed together; this is
the basis for the extensions to the original data CD standards known
as CD-ROM Extended Architecture, or CD-ROM XA. CD-ROM XA formats
currently in use are CD-I Bridge formats, Photo CD and Video CD plus
Sony's Playstation.
