DISC-AT-ONCE CDROM RECORDING UTILITIES

DAO.EXE
      This is the main disc-at-once recording program. It is capable
  of making AUDIO, CDROM (Mode1), CDROM-XA (Mode2), CD-I, CD+G, and
  MIXED-MODE discs. The resulting discs will be either "redbook" or
  "yellowbook" compatible and can be used as masters for commercial
  CDROM production. You are required to write a CUE SHEET file for
  each disc which defines (among other things) the data files to be
  written and the starting time of each track/index point. This infor-
  mation is used to build the table-of-contents and subcode-Q data on
  the recorded disc (the programs MAKECUE and QUICKCUE can generate
  cue sheets for existing audio CDs automatically). DAO gives you
  complete control over the track/index layout when creating audio
  discs. It is possible to define variable length "pause areas" between
  tracks (down to zero!) and define subindexes to other points within
  a track. Refer to DAO.TXT for more information.

SNAPSHOT.EXE
     This program will make backup copies of just about any CDROM disc.
  Refer to SNAPSHOT.TXT for instructions.

CDCLIP.EXE
      This program extracts "digital audio data" from a CD and stores
  the data in a WAV or other type of binary file. This file can then
  be recorded onto a new CD using DAO.EXE. CDCLIP performs complete
  "jitter compensation" to insure correct digital copies. NOTE: Many
  CD recorders are the best choice for reading audio data, because they
  are capable of reading audio at 2x speed and don't require jitter
  compensation (many CDROM drives can only read audio at 1x speed).
  Refer to CDCLIP.TXT for a list of supported drives.

COPY2CD.EXE
     This program will copy the files from one or more directories
  (on your harddrive) directly to a CD recorder without needing to
  build an ISO9660 image file first. The ISO9660 image is built
  "on-the-fly" as the data is being written to the disc. Refer to
  COPY2CD.TXT for more details.

MAKEISO.EXE
     This program will build an ISO9660 image file from one or more
  data files. Refer to MAKEISO.TXT for more details.


ISO2RAW.EXE
      This program will take an ISO9660 image file and convert it to
  raw CDROM data sectors (2352 byte sectors). The resulting file can
  then be used by DAO.EXE to create a data or mixed-mode disc. You must
  convert your image files because some recorders (such as the Philips
  and HP) will only accept raw data sectors when doing disc-at-once
  recording. It takes substantial CPU overhead to convert the sectors
  while recording, so it must be done ahead of time. Refer to DAO.TXT
  for more information on using ISO2RAW.
