NEW features of cdrtools-1.11a10: ***************** Please Test ********************************* NOTE: There are 3000 new lines of code and aprox. 1500 lines of code did change within the last few weeks. Although I thoroughly tested every line of my code, there may be bugs... Please report if you have any problem that is not present with cdrtools-1.11a01. ************** Latest 'stable' alpha: 1.11a01 ****************** All: - timedefs.h modified. Now the last schily portability support include file hast been reworked to make portability even much easier. - schily.h & standard.h have been modified to hopefully finally solve all type clash problems with size_t & spawn*() - Compile support for QNX Neutrino - Now we hopefully have floating point support for _all_ platforms even those without *cvt() and without __dtoa(). Thanks to a hint from Thomas Langer <Langer.Thomas@gmx.net> we now use strtod.c to gert a fallback __dtoa() - Added an autoconf test for rcmd() so cdrtools now should compile again on BeOS and AmigaOS where no rcmd() is present. Libscg: Rscsi: Cdrecord: - Fixed a bug introduced with cdrtools-1.11a07 for better DVD+CD recognition support that prevented cdrecord to work with non MMC writers. *********************************************************************** CD-Text Usage: cdda2wav -D 6,0 -v255 -B # To extract audio information cdrecord dev=6,0 -vv -toc # To extract CD-Text information and then cdrecord dev=6,0 -v -dao textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav or cdrecord dev=6,0 -v -raw96r textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav If the CD-Text information contains CRC errors, you need to re-read the CD-Text information from the master disk. Writing of CD-Text is supported for all drives that support CD-Text in SAO write mode and for all drives that support to write in RAW/RAW96R mode (use -raw96r in this case). *********************************************************************** Tips for MMC RAW mode writing. This allows to do disk at once recording on Philips drives that do not support SAO. You may write audio tracks in RAW mode. There are some new and most likely transient options: -raw16 Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+Q Subchannel -raw96r Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+W Subchannel (R-W in raw mode) -raw96p Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+W Subchannel (R-W in packed mode) NOTE that the MMC standard does not allow -dummy in RAW mode. There may be drives which allow it but don't bother if it does not work. Indices are fully supported in RAW mode. MCN & ISRC are not yet suported in RAW mode, they are silently discarded. If you find other problems in RAW mode or if you find new bugs introduced in old write modes, please send a bug report. Cdrecord now checks the properties of the writer. If a specific write mode is not supported by the writer, cdrecord warns you and makes a suggestion for a similar alternate write mode. With the curent structure of cdrecord, it is not possible to silently e.g. change the write mode from -dao to -raw96r MMC compliant drives are automatically scanned for supported write modes. This should help to make cdrecord work without manual static configuration. My hope is still to have no need to know all drive properties in advance, so new drives will continue to work as long as they are standard comliant enough for cdrecord. EXAMPLES: cdrecord dev=1,0 -v -raw96r *.wav will write a audio CD in raw mode using (computed) 2448 byte sectors with raw P-W subchannels. This works e.g. with Plextor drives. cdrecord dev=1,0 -v -raw16 *.wav will write a audio CD in raw mode using (computed) 2368 byte sectors with raw P+Q subchannels. This works e.g. with Philips drives. NOTE: The input sector size always is 2352 bytes for audio. IMPORTANT: - if the drive supports RAW/R96R among with other raw write modes, use -raw96r - if the drive does _only_ supports RAW/R16, use -raw16 - ... else if the drive supports RAW/R96P, use -raw96p The packed raw mode (RAW/R96P) is buggy in Plextor drives and the RAW/R16 mode is buggy in TEAC drives. Plextor creates unreadble disks and TEAC hangs the drive. For this reason, it is important to select the raw writing mode accoding to the notes above. ****************************************************************** Cdda2wav: Readcd: Scgcheck: Mkisofs: - libhfs_iso reworked to use timedefs.h from schily portability support. - man page enhanced - Better error messages for ISO and Rock Ridge directory sort problems - Preserves HFS file dates for AppleDouble, AppleSingle and NetaTalk files TODO: - read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task: Peter Berendi <berendi2@webdesign.hu> announced that he likes to be the volounteer for this task. Unfortunately, I did no hear again from him, but I got a proposal from "Krisztian Gede" <nameless@mail.datanet.hu> who also likes to do the job. Note that this can never 100% correctly as there is no relation between the names on the master filesystem, the ISO-9660 names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are untranslated with respect to the origina files on the master filesystem. - implement Yellow book compliant XA extended dir attributes - add libecc/edc for CDI and similar. - add UDF support CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES: To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it. For more information read README.win32 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. WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file! Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly. Joerg
