- 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'.
-
- 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.
- 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.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- Pre-compiled Binaries
- ---------------------
- The pre-compiled binaries should work with 2.4.x kernels.
- Other kernel versions may require recompilation because the API of the
- generic SCSI device has changed.
-
-
- 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
-
