MpegTV Player (mtv/mtvp) can play VCDs directly (on Linux). The best solution would be to use it on FreeBSD with the Linux emulation. The requirements are: 1) The clone system-call is needed (mtvp is now multithreaded). I had reports that clone is not available (yet) on freeBSD. 2) the following ioctl should be implemented for reading mode2 form2 sectors of CDROM-XA: CDROMREADTOCHDR CDROMREADTOCENTRY CDROMREADRAW Note: Those ioctl are included in the latest Linux development kernels. -t > > Now, sorry to pester you about the Green Book and VideoCD stuff we > > can really use something to read those CD formats;specially, now days > > with the PII getting so cheap . > > Here is what I have been thinking: > > I have read that CDD will read the mode 2 form 2 "tracks" > of a CD. > > So I could write a library/filter (distributed in object form) that > does the following: > > cdd whatever | myfilter | [now you get MPEG 1 system stream ] > | toyourfavorite MPEG 1 stream player > > Would this be satisfactory? > And does CDD work as advertised? > > Also, haven't "we" been reading those formats for awhile? > >Yeap, that will the trick if cdd or tosha can't read mode form track >I can modify the programs to do it. > > Tnks, > Amancio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
