I may be wrong, but I was under the impression Red Book was simply standard CD format? This being 44.1hz - 16BIT as developed by the pioners, Philips?? I'm sure other folks on here can offer a better explanation tho...

Red Book is just the audio CD format standard that has been adopted so writers write the same formatted data that players expect. There are different "book" standards for all audio CD's, mixed-format CD's (audio and video) and all video CD's.

They just create these so manufacturers have a standard to build from so they have a spec to build their systems to including the necessary instruction set in the laser's interpreter and so on...
