CD-ROM Purple Book – What is Purple Book?

The informal name for specification produced by Philips and Sony in 2000 to describe their double-density compact disk (DDCD) format, which increases the storage capacity of the disc to 1.3GB through means such as increasing its number of tracks and pits. Purple Book-defined products were released in recordable and rewritable – rather than read-only – formats, and require special CD-RW drives to handle them.
