NEW features of cdrtools-1.11a36:
Please have a look at the German open Source Center BerliOS at www.berlios.de
BerliOS will continue to support free hosting of cryptography projects even
when US laws change and don't allow to host cryptography projects in the USA.
Also look at sourcewell.berlios.de, the first Open Source announcement service
that itself is implemented as Open Source project.
***************** Important news ****************************
For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM
***************** Please Test *********************************
There will soon be a new final release for cdrtools. Please do not send
new patches for new features before the final is out. Please note that
the DVD-Video patch was a big modification (it took a week for only cleanly
integrating the patch) so please test!
********** IMPORTANT:
In order to prepare a new major release, I now declare a feature freeze.
Only important Bug Fixes will be applied to the source until the next major
release has been published.
Since 1.11a35 all outstanding issues for cdrtools have been fixed if fixing
the bugs does not have the potential of introducing new bugs in unrelated parts.
After 1.11a35 only major bugs will be fixed
**********
All:
- config.sub now knows about IA64 architecture
Libparanoia:
Libscg:
- Fix a bug with ATAPI in scsi-vms.c - now the SCSI status byte is OK
Thanks To Eberhard Heuser
- Allow up to 26 IDE controlers in scsi-vms.c - Thanks to Chip Dancy
- Do not open all /dev/scg* devices on Solaris if not in Scanbus mode
- Handle ENXIO in Solaris USCSI interface code as indicator for a
switched off device.
- Max DMA size for Linux ATAPI Packet interface code corrected.
Max DMA is 128k-1 and not 128k.
Rscsi:
Cdrecord:
- Fixed a bug in fifo.c introduced with the driver interface change.
Now cdrecord compiles again on VMS (without FIFO).
Thanks to Eberhard Heuser.
- Allow cdrecord to compile without libedc
Thanks to Eberhard Heuser.
- Run read buffer capacity in silent mode.
This is needed because drives with buggy firmware like the CW-7585
did cause hundreds of "command sequence erorrs" to be emmited when
trying to read the current drive buffer fill ratio.
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
New driveropts= option "tattoofile=". Use together with -checkrive
to write an image of the right size to disk.
DiskT@2 hints:
In order to have "DISKTATTOO" listed in the "Driver flags",
the disk currently inserted must be usable for the DiskT@2 feature.
This means that there needs to be enough space on it.
You need an B&W image with 3744 pixels per line
Best start with a 3744 x 320 pixel image.
The correct size may be retrieved with
cdrecord driveropts=tattooinfo -checkdrive
To get RAW image data:
- Take 'xv' and save the image in PBM/PGM/PPM (raw) mode
- use a binary aware (must support unlimited linelength)
editor such as 'ved' and remove the header lines.
These lines look like:
P5
# CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
# CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
3744 144
255
Now you sould have (in case of the file above) a file that
has exactly 539136 Bytes.
- Note that the tattoo image must be left to right flipped
(a mirror image).
>From a hint from "E. Robert Bogusta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Take an image, and do:
djpeg myface.jpg | ppmtopgm | pnmflip -lr |
pnmscale -xsi 3744 -ysi 320 | sed '1,/255/d' >myface.tattoo
So:
djpeg extracts ppm from a jpeg. Use your favorite other way of getting
this far is you wish.
ppmtopgm changes color to greyscale
pnmflip -lr flips left to right, the small image is faster
pnmscale makes it 3644x320 regardless of starting size. This may make it
look really odd on the CD if it doesn't start off the right size. More on
this after I try it.
sed strips from the first line to the line containing 255, which is the
last header line.
Note that it would be better to use the actual height of the applicable mage instead
of the maximum value of 320 and it wouild be even more correct to create an
image that has the right width/height ratio for the target on CD in order
get an undistorted view of the mage n CD.
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
For CD-text Autoring support read README.cdtext
CD-text TODO:
- Check whether the *.inf files are all from the same CD
and clear some CD-text fields that are only valid if
they relate to one CD only.
- Add some more fields (mainly a deficiency of cdda2wav)
- Support multi language text
- Support character coding other than ISO-8859-1
******************************************************************
NOTE: Read README.cdtext
NOTE: Read README.raw
******************************************************************
Cdda2wav (By Heiko Ei�feldt [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- Temporary added -v<number> for compatibility with old GUI programs.
Note: -v<number> is outdated and will be removed soon.
Readcd:
Scgcheck:
Mkisofs (By J�rg Schilling and James Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- A patch from James that make mkisofs able to create a HFS volume > 4 GB.
- A new option -hfs-parms for better HFS support for HFS volumes > 4 GB
from James Pearson
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 be 100% correct as there is no relation
between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
untranslated with respect to the original files on the
master (UNIX) filesystem.
- implement Yellow book compliant XA extended dir attributes
- add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
This may not be needed if we ise VCDimager and recent
cdrecord versions.
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.berlios.de/pub/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.
