NEW features of cdrtools-1.11a09:
***************** 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:
- Better support for Darwin-1.3 and 1.4
This is:
- enhanced makefile system
- type casts needed for unusual types used on Darwin
(e.g. sizeof() returns long!)
- Schily support includefiles rearranged to make portability even
easier.
- mconfig.h now defines IS_SCHILY to signal users of the
Schily makefilesystem, that the Schily portability environment
is being used.
- now includes the forgotten mkdep-sco.sh that helps to better
work around the SCO C-compiler.
Libscg:
- First attempt for support for the new IOKit SCSI interface on MaxOS X
Darwin-1.4 and newer with much much help from
Constantine Sapuntzakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Unfortunately there is not yet support for SCSI devices nor
is there support for standard Bus,Target,Lun device namings.
I hope that bot may be added in the future.
Volunteers who like to help with the libscg interface stuff
for Darwin-1.4 are welcome.
Rscsi:
- Code now checks for HAVE_NETDB_H (added by request of
"Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to help with AmigaOS port)
This should indicate whether there is support for rcmd()
in the OS.
Cdrecord:
- Behaviour of the function that reads fs= tsize= and similar
corrected.
- Modified driver interface for better DVD support
- FIFO Code now checks for HAVE_FORK (added by request of
"Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to help with AmigaOS port)
***********************************************************************
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:
- Restructured to better use the schily makefile portability structures.
- Many other changes from Heiko - ask Heiko [EMAIL PROTECTED] for
the list.
Readcd:
Scgcheck:
Mkisofs:
- Try to avoid the C-compiler warnings for getopt.c that are caused
by the non-confirming way of hacking used by FSF people
- isoinfo now corectly displays file with filesize > 1 GB
- isoinfo now implements a new option -s that displays the size
of the files in multiples of the sector size (2048 Bytes)
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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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.
