- NEW features of cdrecord-1.8a18:
-
- - Support for ISRC on MMC drives
-
- - Support for MCN on MMC drives
-
- - DAO (SAO) support for MMC drives that support session at once.
- This should be true all MMC drives except the following:
-
- - BTC BCE621E
- - Memorex CD*-*622
- - Philips CDD-3600 / CDD-3610
- - HP-7100 / HP-7200
- These MMC drives will need DAO/raw support and thus
- will be supported later.
-
- Most of the current drives that are in high volume use are
- supported in this stage of DAO.
-
- DAO writing has been tested with the following drives:
- - Plextor PX-R820
- - Plextor PX-W4220
- - Yamaha CDR-4260
-
-
- Hot to use:
-
- To create a DAO CD-ROM:
-
- mkisofs -o iso.raw dir ....
- cdrecord .... -dao iso.raw
-
- To copy a music CD:
-
- cdda2wav -Db,t,l -B
- cdrecord ... -dao audio*.au
- or
- cdrecord ... -dao audio*.wav
-
- depending on the outputformat that was created by cdda2wav.
-
- IMPORTANT: The audio files must include the pregap data of the
- track that follows the current track.
- This is guaranteed if the data was generated by
- cdda2wav.
-
- Later cdrecord versions will read the audio*.inf files from cdda2wav
- and interpret the fields for:
-
- - Preemphasis
- - Copy protection (SCMS)
- - Index list
- - MCN
- - ISRC
- - CD-Text data
-
- NOTE that the current command line options that are needed for
- DAO will change in the future.
-
- Cdrecord supports audio and CD-ROM (ISO/IEC 10149) in the current
- DAO implementation. You may create audio CD's, CD-ROM's
- and mixed mode CD's.
-
- Note that it is not possible to write a disk in DAO mode if the
- size of a track is not known before the write starts.
- This implies, that it is not possible to use the usual pipe:
-
- mkisofs ...... | cdrecord .... -
-
- If you like to write a DAO CD without creating a imtermediate
- file you will need to tell cdrecord the size of the track.
- The mkisofs that comes with cdrecord supports a option -print-size
-
- To create a DAO CD in pipe mode use the following command sequence:
-
- mkisofs -print-size dir ...
-
- This will print:
-
- Using SCSI-LIN.000;1 for ./libscg/scsi-linux-sg.c (scsi-linux-pg.c)
- Using SCSI-BSD.000;1 for ./libscg/scsi-bsd.c (scsi-bsd-os.c)
- Total extents scheduled to be written = 1751
-
- Now call mkisofs with exactly the same args except the -print-size
- option:
-
- mkisofs ..... dir ... | cdrecord .... -dao tsize=1751s -
-
- Later cdrecord versions may support to use cdrecord -isosize even from a pipe.
- In any case, even though it seems to be more complicated to
- write DAO data disks, there is a clear advantage:
-
- - Operating systems with a read ahead bug (like Linux) will not
- be affected if you write a DAO data disk because there then will
- be no two unreadable run-out sectors at the end of each track.
-
- - Some CD-R or CD-RW drives allow overburning only in DAO mode.
- This drives are mainly the Yamaha and Plextor drives.
-
- mkisofs:
-
- %
-
- cdda2wav:
-
- - Wait for drive to become ready after load
- - changed toc to MSF values
- - added USS/OSS sound support for FreeBSD
- - new INF file format for cdrecord
- - additional index 0 offset in INF file
- - bugfix for the index scanner
-
- - CD-TEXT now working with the following features:
- o cd text crc check and one bit correction
- o cd text titles and MCN/ISRC fully supported
- o cd text detection enhanced
-
-
- CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:
-
- To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it.
- then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located.
- Now run 'make' ...
-
- The files are located on:
-
- ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha ...
-
- NOTE: These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
- tar may get some minor trouble.
-
- WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
- All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
