| Cdrdao - Write audio/data CD-Rs in disk-at-once mode |
| ============================================================================= |
| |
| This file contains some additional information. See the manual page |
| for usage of the tool. |
| |
| Please use the write simulation mode (command 'simulate') when trying |
| this program the first time on your system. This will detect problems |
| or incompatibilities without wasting a CD-recordable. Note that you |
| may have to eject and reinsert the CD-R after a simulation run before |
| a real write can start. |

| Drivers |
| ------- |
| |
| The following driver IDs may be used with option '--driver'. It is |
| possible to specify option bits which modify the behavior of the |
| driver. Global and driver specific options are available. Options |
| flags can be combined by logical 'or' and appended to the '--driver' |
| option, e.g. '--driver plextor-scan:0x03'. |
| |
| By default, cdrdao will try to detect if your device is MMC compliant |
| and use the 'generic-mmc' driver is possible. |
| |
| Global Option Bits: |
| read-toc/read-cd related: |
| 0x00010000: Use the generic method to read the TOC of a CD for |
| commands 'read-toc' and 'read-cd'. If this flag is |
| selected multi session disks will not be handled |
| properly but some drives do not work with the |
| currently implemented method for reading the TOC |
| of a specific session. |
| |
| 0x00020000: If the byte order of the audio data retrieved with |
| 'read-cd' is wrong (i.e. not big endian samples) use |
| this option. |
| |
| 0x00040000: Use this option if your drive cannot read audio data |
| from the first track's pre-gap. You will get read error |
| messages in this case which should vanish if this option |
| is used. |
| |
| 0x00080000: Suppresses the automatic data type detection for the |
| raw TOC data and assumes that the drive sends BCD data. |
| Use this or the following option if cdrdao reports that |
| it cannot "determine if raw toc data is BCD or HEX". |
| |
| 0x00100000: Suppresses the automatic data type detection for the |
| raw TOC data and assumes that the drive sends HEX data. |
| Use this or the previous option if cdrdao reports that |
| it cannot "determine if raw toc data is BCD or HEX". |
| |
| 0x00200000: Do not try to read CD-TEXT data with command 'read-toc', |
| 'read-cd' or 'copy'. Some drives lock up or send junk |
| data when asked for the CD-TEXT data. |
| |
| Available Drivers: |
| |
| plextor |
| Supports CD structure analysis (command 'read-toc') for Plextor |
| CD-ROM readers. Pre-gaps and index marks are detected by |
| performing a binary search over the Q sub-channel for each |
| track. This method is fast and gives very exact results on |
| Plextor drives. The driver uses generic SCSI commands (PLAY AUDIO |
| and READ SUB-CHANNEL) so it may work on other models, too, but |
| result and speed is directly correlated to the digital audio |
| extraction capabilities. |
| |
| Option Bits: |
| read-toc/read-cd related: |
| 0x00000001: Force usage of the paranoia method for audio extraction |
| instead of the special Plextor method that is used |
| with Plextor drives. |
| |
| 0x00000002: Use the READ10 command to read audio data instead of |
| the vendor specific READ CDDA command. |
| Only used if the paranoia DAE method is selected. |
| |
| 0x00000010: Don't slow down after a read error. Available |
| only on Plextor devices. Manufacturer |
| default is to slow down. |
| |
| 0x00000020: Start data transfer before maximum |
| speed is reached. Available only on |
| Plextor PX-20 and later. Manufacturer |
| default is to wait for maximum speed. |
| |
| 0x00000040: Don't slow down when drive pauses to |
| avoid vibrations. Available only on |
| Plextor PX-20 and later. Manufacturer |
| default is to slow down. |
| |
| plextor-scan |
| This is an alternate driver for CD structure analysis with Plextor |
| drives. It scans the Q sub-channels of a track linearly like the |
| 'generic-mmc' driver but is faster on Plextor drives. |
| |
| Option Bits: |
| read-toc/read-cd related: |
| 0x00000001: Read 16 bytes PQ sub-channel instead of 96 byte |
| raw P-W sub-channel data. If 'read-toc'/'read-cd' |
| fails on your drive try to select this option. |
| |
| 0x00000002: Only used if option '0x00000001' is selected. If set |
| the read PQ sub-channel data is expected to contain |
| BCD instead of HEX values. If the time count that |
| is displayed while running 'read-toc' jumps you will |
| have to toggle this option. |
| |
| 0x00000004: Do not take ISRC code from the sub-channel data but use |
| the appropriate SCSI command for reading the ISRC |
| code. This option is automatically selected if 16 |
| byte PQ sub-channel data with HEX values is used. |
| |
| cdd2600 |
| This is a native driver for the Philips CDD2000/CDD2600 drive family. |
| 'read-toc' is implemented like in the 'plextor' driver but it is slow |
| and not very exact due to poor digital audio extraction capabilities of |
| these drives. Anyway, I don't recommend doing CD structure analysis with |
| the CDD2x00 because it stresses the mechanism too much. |
| |
| generic-mmc |
| This is a driver for SCSI-3/mmc compatible CD-recorders that support |
| session-at-once (cue sheet based) writing. Most of the recent drives |
| (ATAPI, SCSI, USB, Parallel Port) should be compatible with this or |
| with the 'generic-mmc-raw' driver described below. Data track writing |
| support is also available. |
| 'read-toc' scans linearly the Q sub-channel of each track to retrieve |
| the pre-gap length and index marks. This method is very accurate but |
| takes the same time like digital audio extraction. It should also work |
| with recent CD-ROM readers. |
| |
| Option Bits: |
| read-toc/read-cd related: |
| 0x00000001: See 'plextor-scan'. |
| |
| 0x00000002: See 'plextor-scan'. |
| |
| 0x00000004: See 'plextor-scan'. |
| |
| 0x00000008: Try to retrieve the media catalog number by scanning |
| the sub-channels instead of using the appropriate |
| SCSI command. This might be an option if the CD-R/CD-ROM |
| drive does not extract the catalog number otherwise. |
| |
| Note: A media catalog number need not be present on |
| on a CD. |
| |
| 0x00000020: Use this option if the drive cannot read sub-channel |
| data along with audio data. A binary search method for |
| pre-gap and index mark extraction will be selected in |
| this case which has to play a sector before the |
| sub-channel data can be retrieved. |
| If 'read-toc'/'read-cd' works only with this option |
| you should consider to use '--fast-toc' since the |
| data retrieved with the binary search method is usually |
| not very reliable and not worth the additional time. |
| |
| 0x00000100: Force using the raw R-W sub-channel reading |
| mode for audio and data tracks. |
| |
| writing related: |
| 0x00000010: Enable CD-TEXT writing. This must be done explicitly |
| because there is no way to detect if a recorder supports |
| CD-TEXT writing. Trying to write CD-TEXT data with |
| recorders that do not support this feature usually |
| results in an error message at the beginning of the |
| recording process and in real write mode the medium |
| will be unusable. |
| |
| 0x00000040: Suppresses the activation of the BURN Proof feature. |
| |
| 0x00000080: If the drive does not support packed R-W |
| sub-channel writing (the drive does not support |
| the L-EC data creation and interleaving for R-W |
| sub-channel data) you will have to specify this |
| option. Cdrdao will perform all the encoding |
| and write in raw R-W mode. If the drive does |
| not support the raw R-W writing mode, too, it |
| is not possible to write sub-channel data. |
| |
| generic-mmc-raw |
| This is an alternate driver for SCSI-3/mmc compatible CD-recorders. |
| It uses the raw writing interface where the driver has to provide the |
| PQ sub-channel data in addition to the audio data. This writing mode |
| allows using part of the lead-out area for audio data since the drive's |
| firmware has no chance to prevent this. Of course, you will get some |
| error message at the end of writing when the CD-R capacity is exhausted. |
| Multi session recording is currently not supported. |
| CD structure analysis is done like in the 'generic-mmc' driver. |
| |
| Option Bits: |
| All of 'generic-mmc' except |
| |
| 0x00000010: CD-TEXT writing capability is automatically determined. |
| |
| 0x00000080: R-W sub-channel writing capability is |
| automatically determined. |
| |
| |
| ricoh-mp6200 |
| Supports writing with the Ricoh MP6200S CD recorder. |
| CD structure analysis is done like in the 'generic-mmc' driver. |
| |
| sony-cdu920 |
| Driver for the Sony CDU920 recorder. Audio and data tracks are supported. |
| The Sony CDU948 recorder will work with this driver, too. Use option |
| '--speed 0' to get the full writing speed. |
| 'read-toc' uses the Q sub-channel scanning method. |
| |
| sony-cdu948 |
| Driver for the Sony CDU948 recorder. It extends the 'sony-cdu920' driver |
| by CD-TEXT writing and multi session mode. |
| |
| taiyo-yuden |
| This is an adapted 'cdd2600' driver for Taiyo-Yuden recorders. |
| 'read-toc' is done with 'plextor' method. |
| |
| teac-cdr55 |
| Driver for the Teac CD-R55 recorder. Audio and data tracks are supported. |
| 'read-toc' uses the Q sub-channel scanning method. |
| |
| toshiba |
| Read only driver for Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM drives. The Q sub-channel |
| scanning method is used to detect pre-gaps and index marks. |
| |
| yamaha-cdr10x |
| Driver for the Yamaha CDR10X recorder series that supports audio and |
| data tracks. 'read-toc' uses the Q sub-channel scanning method. |
| |
| |
| SCSI Device |
| ----------- |
| |
| Cdrdao uses Joerg Schilling's SCSI library. Thus the same SCSI device |
| addressing scheme applies as for 'cdrecord'. A SCSI device is |
| addressed by a bus/id/lun triple, e.g. '--device 0,2,0' for a device |
| with SCSI ID 2 on SCSI bus 0. On some systems it is also possible |
| (sometimes required) to specify a device node directly, e.g. '--device |
| /dev/sg0' can be used on Linux systems instead of the bus/id/lun |
| triple. |
| |
| On Linux systems the generic SCSI device ('/dev/sg?') is required to |
| access the CD writer. Try 'cat /proc/devices' to check out if your |
| kernel supports the character device 'sg'. If not insert the |
| corresponding module ('insmod sg.o') or reconfigure and compile the |
| kernel. Cdrdao opens '/dev/cdrecorder' by default which should be a |
| link to the appropriate generic SCSI device. |
| |
| |
| ATAPI Support |
| ------------- |
| |
| ATAPI drives use the same command set as SCSI devices so that cdrdao |
| also supports all ATAPI CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW drives. Either the |
| 'generic-mmc' or the 'generic-mmc-raw' driver should work if the |
| recorder supports DAO writing at all. |
| |
| Cdrdao access ATAPI devices through the same interface as used for |
| SCSI devices. Therefor the operating system must emulate the ATAPI |
| devices as SCSI devices. Some operating systems do this by default |
| (e.g. Win32), other operating system must be told to do that |
| (e.g. Linux, enable the IDE host adapter emulation) and some operating |
| system may not support that. |
| |
| The same applies for USB and parallel port devices: cdrdao supports |
| them but the operating system must present them as SCSI devices. |
| |
| It is also possible to access ATAPI devices directly by using the |
| syntax '--device ATAPI:0,0,0' or '--device ATA:0,0,0' based in your |
| operating system. This is the same syntax used by cdrecord. It is |
| indeed the recommended way for recent Linux systems wich no longer |
| relies on the ide-scsi emulation layer. Linux kernel 2.4 users should |
| use the '--device ATAPI:0,0,0' syntax, while kernels above 2.6 can use |
| the more recent ATA interface ('--device ATA:0,0,0'). |
| |
| |
| Digital Audio Extraction |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| The digital audio extraction is done with the help of Monty's paranoia |
| library except the 'plextor' driver which uses a special method for |
| Plextor drives. If you want to use the paranoia mode with the |
| 'plextor' driver you will have to use option '--driver plextor:0x1'. |
| |
| The output file will always contain raw signed 16 bit audio samples |
| with MSB-LSB (big endian) byte order. If the byte order of the output |
| file is not MSB-LSB you will have to use the driver option '0x20000', |
| e.g. '--driver plextor:0x20000'. Please do not try to use '--swap' for |
| writing in this case because the byte order of the audio samples that |
| are fed to the paranoia library is wrong, too, which will cause |
| malfunction of the paranoia library routines. |
| |
| Even if you specify a file name with a ".wav" extension the resulting |
| file will be a raw audio file without any header. |
| |
| 'read-cd' and 'copy' will read the first track's pre-gap, too. If your |
| drive cannot access these audio sectors which is usually indicated by |
| read errors you will have to use driver option 0x40000. |
| |
| Currently, cdrdao does not support as many CD-ROM drives as |
| cdparanoia. If audio extraction works with cdparanoia but not with |
| cdrdao please send me a log of a 'cdparanoia -v' run and I will |
| implement the required access command. |
| |
| |
| CD-TEXT Writing |
| --------------- |
| |
| CD-TEXT data is read with 'read-toc' or 'read-cd' if your drive |
| supports it (e.g. Teac CD-532e, HP CD-Writer+ 8100) and will be stored |
| in the toc-file. It is also possible to create the CD-TEXT data |
| manually by editing the toc-file or by using the xcdrdao GUI. If you |
| want to create your own CD-TEXT data be sure to add the fields 'TITLE' |
| and 'PERFORMER' to all tracks. |
| |
| IMPORTANT: The CD-TEXT writing feature must be explicitly enabled with |
| the driver option 0x10 for the 'generic-mmc' driver (see section |
| Drivers). If the driver is automatically selected for your recorder |
| model the driver options should be already set if your recorder is |
| known to write CD-TEXT data. Please report if the driver database is |
| not up to date or contains incorrect data. |
| |
| The directory "testtocs" contains a template toc-file "cdtext.toc". |

| Notes: |
| 1) Writing with firmware revision 1.0i does not work. |
| 2) read-toc with plextor driver. |
| 3) Sold as Philips PCA36XCD CD-ROM. |
| 4) The generic-mmc driver will also work but the firmware seems to |
| create wrong sub-channel data in some cases. |
| 5) See notes at the end of this file. |
| 6) This drive seems to ignore ISRC Codes and the Catalog Number. |
| 7) Firmware version 3.DS does not work well in DAO mode. Update to 3.GS! |
| 8) With firmware 1.0c and Adaptec 2940U2W the transmission must be |
| set to asynchron according to Adaptec and Yamaha. |
| 9) Sanyo OEM 32x/12x/4x CD-RW drive. |
| 10) The firmware reports an empty vendor string so that the driver |
| will not be selected automatically. Please use the --driver option. |
| 11) As with Toast and Nero it`s best to write and rewrite at 2x. |
| |
| |
| Example for CD Copying |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| The following command will copy the CD in the source drive specified |
| with option '--source-device' to the CD-R/CD-RW inserted in the |
| destination drive specified with option '--device'. Only a single |
| session will be copied which can be selected with option '--session' |
| (default: 1st session). If you want to keep the session open you will |
| have to use option '--multi'. |
| |
| cdrdao copy --source-device 0,2,0 --device 0,5,0 --buffers 64 |
| |
| |
| The option '--buffers' is used to adjust the ring buffer size. Each |
| buffer holds 1 second audio data. Dividing the specified number of |
| buffers by the writing speed gives the approx. time for which data |
| input my be stalled, e.g. 64 buffers and writing at 4x speed results |
| in 16 seconds. |
| |
| On the fly copying is selected with option '--on-the-fly'. No |
| intermediate data will be stored on the disk in this case. |
| |
| If the source CD contains audio tracks and the source drive is slow |
| you should consider to reduce the audio extraction quality with option |
| '--paranoia-mode 0' or reduce the writing speed to 2x. For |
| '--paranoia-mode 0' you will need a perfect CD-ROM drive that can |
| provide an accurate audio stream. |
| |
| The standard generic SCSI interface of Linux kernels < 2.2.6 cannot |
| handle multiple commands in parallel. Since the reading and the |
| writing part of cdrdao use the generic SCSI interface mutual blocking |
| will occur. This results in low fill rates of cdrdao's ring buffer and |
| very likely produces buffer under runs. |
| |
| To avoid these problems you should apply Heiko Eissfeldt's sg-buffer |
| patch which can be downloaded from: |
| ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/ |
| It is available for 2.0.x and 2.1.x kernels. For 2.2.x kernels with |
| x < 6 the "SG-2.2.tar.gz" patch should be used. Kernel versions >= 2.2.6 |
| do not need any patch. |
| |
| I strongly recommend to perform some simulation runs before trying real |
| writing. |
| |
| |
| Example for composing an audio CD |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| Assume three existing audio files 'audio1.wav', 'audio2.wav' and |
| 'audio3.wav' that go in three tracks. We do not want a pause between |
| track 1 and 2 (no pre-gap). The first 10 seconds of 'audio1.wav' |
| should be used as pre-gap for track 3. Here is the toc-file: |
| |
| |
| // Track 1 |
| TRACK AUDIO |
| FILE "audio1.wav" 0 // take all audio data from 'audio1.wav', length is taken |
| // from file |
| |
| // Track 2 |
| TRACK AUDIO |
| FILE "audio2.wav" 0 // take all audio data from 'audio2.wav', length is taken |
| // from file, no pre-gap |
| |
| // Track 3 |
| TRACK AUDIO |
| FILE "audio1.wav" 0 0:10:0 // take first 10 seconds from 'audio1.wav' |
| START // everything before this line goes into the pre-gap |
| FILE "audio3.wav" 0 // take all audio data from 'audio3.wav', length is taken |
| // from file |
| |
| |
| Type 'cdrdao show-toc example.toc' to check for the correct syntax of |
| the toc-file. Note that even for the command 'show-toc' the audio |
| files must exist if the length of the audio files is not specified |
| like in the example. |
| |
| Type 'cdrdao read-test example.toc' to check if all audio files can be |
| read without error (optional). |
| |
| Type 'cdrdao simulate example.toc' to perform a write simulation |
| (optional). |
| |
| Type 'cdrdao write example.toc' to create the audio CD. |
| |

| Notes about some CD recorder models |
| ----------------------------------- |
| |
| MATSHITA/PANASONIC CW-7502 |
| This drive will only produce useful disks with the recent firmware |
| revision X.17. The X depends on the drive hardware revision. |
| |
| Thanks to Jeroen Steenblik <jeroens@esrac.ele.tue.nl> for adapting |
| the generic-mmc driver to the CW-7502 recorder. He spend a lot of time |
| and wasted many CD-Rs until it was obvious that the pre-X.14 |
| firmware does not completely comply with the SCSI-3/mmc standard. |
| |
| Here are Jeroen's notes for upgrading the firmware: |
| The update can be found at the Plasmon technical website, |
| http://tech.plasmon.co.uk/, choose 'Download Files' and obtain the |
| X.17 firmware for the CDR480. This includes all instructions. |
| One thing I might add, when downloading the two files in the sequence |
| described in their document, my drive refused the second file. I had |
| to reboot after downloading the first file and only then I could download |
| the second. Quite scary stuff. Swapping the download sequence should |
| prevent this (so I've read). |
| |
| |
| MEMOREX CR-622 |
| Submitted by Bryan E. Chafy <bchafy@ccs.neu.edu>: |
| |
| The drive as shipped comes with firmware that does not support DAO. |
| The firmware lives on a PROM, it is not flashable. |
| You need an EPROM burner, a 27c020 PLCC EPROM, and the |
| D4.0 ROM image for the CRW-1622 (can download it from Memorex web site, |
| the name of the image is d39e.dat). |
| |
| The ROM is socketed at the rear of the drive, you will see it when you |
| remove the top cover. Mine had a sticker on it with the numbers E07/885B. |
| |
| Note, this is for the CR-622 (and its sister the CDR-622 wearnes drive), |
| NOT the CRW-1622. The CRW-1622 drive is flash-upgradeable). |
| |
| IMHO, Wearnes/Memorex should be sending us new ROM's free of charge because |
| the box clearly states the CR-622 supports DAO. |
| |
| The new firmware does not turn the CR-622 into a cd-rw capable drive. |
| You can still only burn cd-r media. |
| |
| |
| YAMAHA CDR400, CRW4260 |
| These drives sometimes have problems with writing at 4x speed. The |
| resulting disk is hard read for some reason. Disks written at 1x or |
| 2x speed are fine. Yamaha's support is aware of this problem. It might |
| be related to the actual firmware revision. |
| I successfully wrote CD-Rs at 4x speed with a CDR400t and firmware |
| revision 1.0k. |
| |
| |
| HP CD-Writer+ 75XX, HP CD-Writer+ 8100, SONY CRX100, HP CD-Writer+ 8200 |
| The firmware restricts the possible disk types in multi session |
| mode (DAO only) to one of the following: |
| |
| o Pure audio CD. |
| o CD-EXTRA where the 1st session contains only audio tracks and the |
| 2nd session contains 1 data track. |
| |
| Further restrictions: |
| |
| o The length of the 1st track's pre-gap is restricted to a certain |
| amount. |
| o Cue sheets with ISRC codes are rejected of the COPY flag is set. |
| This might be fixed in future versions. |
| |
| |
| SONY CD-R CDU948 |
| The firmware restricts the possible disk types in DAO mode to one of |
| the following: |
| |
| o Pure audio CD. |
| o Mixed mode CD where the 1st track is a data track followed by at |
| least 1 audio track. |
| o CD-EXTRA where the 1st session contains only audio tracks and the |
| 2nd session contains 1 data track. |
| |
| The length of the 1st track's pre-gap is restricted to a certain |
| amount, too. |
| |
| If you want to create a pure data CD you will have to append a dummy |
| audio track to the toc-file, e.g. with: |
| |
| TRACK AUDIO |
| PREGAP 0:2:0 |
| SILENCE 0:4:0 |
