Hi, I have just released tosha 0.6. It is now capable of reading VideoCD tracks (CD-XA mode2/form2 with MPEG1 audio/video) which can be played with MpegTV (www.mpegtv.com). This should work with _any_ SCSI CD-ROM drive, even those that are not supported for CD digital audio reading. The software is available from http://www.fromme.com/tosha/ (an entry for the ports collection has been submitted, too, but it has not been committed yet). It compiles cleanly under FreeBSD 2.2.x and 3.0 (both "classic" SCSI system and new CAM system). The source code has undergone major changes since version 0.05, and given the fact that I have only limited testing capabilities it is quite possible that a few things don't work anymore which worked in v0.05. If you discover such a bug, please report it to me ASAP. Currently supported CD-ROM drives for CD-DA audio "grabbing" include popular drives from the following vendors: Toshiba, NEC, Philips, Plextor, Yamaha, TEAC. As well supported, but less well tested, are drives from DEC, IBM, Kodak, HP, Plasmon, Grundig, Mitsumi, Sony, Matshita, Pioneer, Ricoh, Nakamichi. Tosha 0.6 supports an rc configuration file which makes it easy to add support for other drives. Regards Oliver PS: Is there any other software beside MpegTV that is capable of playing MPEG1 system streams (both audio and video)? I tried several programs from the ports collection, but none of them really works (some don't support audio, some only support certain resolutions, etc.). -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) "In jedem Stück Kohle wartet ein Diamant auf seine Geburt" (Terry Pratchett) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
