Cdrdao 1.16 released

  home - news

• Fixed cue sheet setup for CD-TEXT writing. Some older drives did not like the cue sheet format as specified in the latest SCSI-3/mmc specification.
• Added sub-channel writing for the 'generic-mmc' and 'generic-mmc-raw' driver.
  Currently only the R-W sub-channels can be written. The track image files may contain packed or raw R-W sub-channel data. For packed sub-channel data the L-EC data will be calculated and interleaving will be performed if required by the recording hardware.
• Added sub-channel reading support for the generic-mmc(-raw) driver. Currently packed and raw R-W sub-channel reading is supported (option -read-subchan).
• Added automatic check for support sub-channel reading modes to the 'generic-mmc(-raw)' driver. The driver options (0x1, 0x2 and 0x20) should be obsolete now, but are still available.
• The data track extraction with the generic-mmc(-raw) driver is more robust against read errors now. The --tao-source/--tao-source-adjust option should be obsolete now - but is still available.
• Added on-the-fly copying support for the Win32 version.
• Default blanking mode is now 'minimal' (SF feature request 425321)
• Updated paranoia libraries to version of cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.
• Fixed waiting loop that was used to wait until the lead-out was written and until a blanking operation is finished. Some drives do not indicate this activities with a "not ready" status. Affected drivers: generic-mmc and generic-mmc-raw (blanking only).
• Fixed crash in cdrdao usage printing (SF bug 570156).
• Fixed cue sheet setup for ISRC codes for the HP8100 recorder model.
• Added/fixed SF patches 427753, 450058 and 534214.
• New mp32dao version from Giuseppe Corbelli with these new features:
• Ogg support
• MP3/Ogg decoding supported only with external programs
• Code modularization and bugfixes
• cdrecord's .inf file support for CD-TEXT data
• Cue parser accepts spaces and '\' characters in file name now.
• The PCCTS package is now a part of the cdrdao source code distribution which should avoid some compilation hassle.
• Updated scsilib version.
• Added patches for compilation under Unixware (incl. patches for scsilib).
• Created new utility 'toc2mp3' that converts an audio CD image to a set of mp3 files using the LAME encoder. The encoded mp3 files have no gap at the end so that they play in sequence without noise at the transition points.

• Gcdmaster hotkeys are now back. (SourceForge bug 470864).
• Gcdmaster can now copy cds with just one drive, thanks to Das Poelzi for the patch. (SourceForge bug 566948).
• Added switch to enable the overburn mode to the recording options box.
• Added selection of the sub-channel reading mode the CD extraction options box.
• Fixed the 'Cancel' button staying disabled in the Recording/Reading progress window.
