The program:
Main purpose is to download CD digital audio data straight from your
CDROM to your HARDDISK. Without any SAMPLING ERRORS/HISS/DESTORTION.
In FULL 16BIT, 44100 HZ STEREO SOUND.
USAGE: cdinfo [-t] [-h] [-?]
-t use text interface (graphical now default)
-h use high sierra addressing mode (default red book)
-rd debug info readlong request
Some docs:
How to save raw audio data to a WAV file:
press key 'w': The program asks for a starting sector (depending on using
Red book or High sierra addressing mode) and a ending sector.
If THERE IS NO ERROR (INDICATED IN THE BOX "Resultcode mscdex driver")
A FILE xxxxxxx.wav will be created. Faulty files will be deleted.
xxxxxxx= HEXADECIMAL NOTATION OF STARTSECTOR
Example:
1a14.wav
Format of the file: wav,16 bit 44100hz stereo
SOME TIPS/HINTS/DOCS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The cdrom drive is capable of reading raw audio if the box
'READING' show 'cooked + raw'. And of course if the mscdex &
hardware driver supports it.
NOTE: SOME CDROM DRIVES CAN ONLY READ RAW IN VERY SMALL CHUNKS
(ABOUT 30 SECTORS) USE THE HIGH SIERRA MODE (-h) TO INPUT SMALL
CHUNKS [FIXED IN VERSION 1.4]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Synchronizing errors can occur on a CDDISK which has BAD SECTORS.
Nothing can be done about that, CDINFO tries 10 times to
re-synchronize before stopping (reads on, wavfile can be used).
Becouse CDDA-data has no sync info inclosed (only RAW 44.100 hz)
you can not always predict if you have the right sector. That is why
I use synchronizing.. BAD sectors give random data so with
synchronizing you can not fix that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRACKS fields information:
[start sector] [n (+/-)emp] [audio/data] [copy permitted?]
start sector= highsierra or redbook address
n= number of channels (2 or 4)
+ = with emphasis
- = without emphasis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Correct redbook address:
min:sec:frame e.g. 1:20:56
(0 < sec < 60)
(0 < Frame < 75)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
QUIT = q or <ESC>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM = AUDIO CHANNEL MANIPULATION
(when it is YES you can change volume/mixer settings, I hope)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The wav file is created with command [w] and has the name:
(hexnumber of startsector).wav e.g. c213a.wav
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Debug info readlong (option -rd):
a box will popup showing:
readlong: start_sector num_secs_to_read (hex hex) total_secs_still_to_read (hex)
'num_secs'= number of sectors (NOT SECONDS)
these are the precise numbers given by the CDINFO.EXE to the MSCDEX interface.
to look if something is wrong with CDINFO.
* if they do not match the input you gave.. mail me.
* if they do match something must be wrong with the mscdex interface..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
Not all cdrom can do raw reading!!
Do not use CDROM CACHING SMARTDRV with cdinfo!!
THANX FOR ALL THE FEEDBACK!...
see you in another production.
BTW: there is a small error in the graphic drawing (try to find it!) :)
