Hybrid may refer to any of the following:
1. In general, hybrid refers to anything that's a mix of multiple components or ideas. For example, a hybrid computer is a computer capable of accepting both digital and analog signals, unlike most computers that are only digital.
2. Under the Orange Book standard for recordable CDs (compact discs), hybrid means a disc with one or more sessions already recorded, but has space allocated for future recording.
3. Hybrid can also refer to a compact disc containing both DOS/Windows and Apple software on the same disc. The DOS/Windows platform sees the disc as a normal ISO 9660 disc, while on a Mac it appears as an HFS (hierarchical file system) disc.
