Error correction for XCD is made

[Koepi]

Hi Elic,

simply changing the specs is a very bad idea since XCD even made it into hardware playback devices and it would break compatibility then.

An addendum would be possible though as long as it doesn't break backwards compatibility. Like i.e. extending the XCH/Backup system accordingly, we kept that very simple.

Let's see if de_xt is still active, we could enter into a new discussion of that issue then.

Cheers
Koepi

Wow! I didn't even heard about it! Where can I read more about them?

Thanks, I shall get a grasp of specs more closely

His last message on forum was on December 2004. I wrote a PM to him on 5 May, and still no reply

A fast shot (be careful, it's a german advertisment site): http://www.fotos.de/shop/index.php?f...cs&language=de

To my knowledge, every mpeg4-enabled player supports XCD too.

Back to de_xt, give him some time. Sometimes it can take 4 weeks until somebody realises there's something in his mailbox

I'll try to contact avih as well, he is also involved into XCD.

New version (1.21) of RR is released as update package (rr-1.21.update.zip, 93011 bytes, contains only rrenc.exe, rrdec.exe and whatsnew.*) which is to be combined with previous version.

No new features, just fixes:
- bug in polynom math library caused crash on CPUs without SSE (due to inattentive read help on Intel compiler);
- bug in --process-dir switch handler.

I searched more info about Gericom Bellagio AD2020 DVD-Player but didn't realise if it uses CD-level XCD (CLX) or file-level XCD (FLX), i.e. seems to be it can playback just mode2-form2 files regardless of disc structure (or maybe manufacturer have detailed specs closed). In my city, I didn't find DVD-players in sale which would claim to be XCD compatible. Although, I don't pretend to buy standalone DVD player, I'm totally satisfied by my PC

DeXT is still in silence

Hi there!

Nowadays, I got the site - http://elicit.vn.ua and uploaded all of my stuff there. Site is under construction, sorry about uncomfortabilities.

The new version (RR 1.24) has many fixes of minor bugs and nearly invisible optimization. It is also splitted onto two packages: http://elicit.vn.ua/files/rr/rr-1.24.main.zip - main executables and minimalistic set of docs, and http://elicit.vn.ua/files/rr/rr-1.24.extra.zip - example of use and modified mode2cdmaker with sources.

All of previous versions are also available here. Some hole in version numbering is caused by extensive refactoring and thus couple of semi-raw builds which remain unpublished.

nice stuff!

Version 1.25 (2006/02/13)
Lightweight (rr-1.25.update) package (main files only); designed to use together with rr-1.24.extra package.

Changelog:

Common:
- few small bugs fixed.

rrenc:
- support for absolute paths added (in --process-dir mode only)
  in source filelist (when --source-dir is empty) and in destination
  files (when --target-dir is empty);
- new command-line option added: --multi-track
- new RR-list option added: -u
- output of command-line into RR-list added;
- built-in help improved and slightly reordered, info about errorlevels
  added.

rrdec:
- new RR-list option added: -u
- built-in help improved and slightly reordered.

The main current development vector is to simplify integration with mode2cdmaker's GUIs.

Version 1.26 (2006/02/15)
Lightweight (rr-1.26.update) package (main files only); designed to use
together with rr-1.24.extra package.

Changelog:

Common:
- fixed few bugs in support of absolute paths.

rrenc:
- new command-line option added: --keep-old-ext (as m2cdm -extname).

rrdec:
- fixed serious bug in 1.25 which might cause mixing of directories;
- support for XDC-discs made with -extname option.

[Elic]

Version 1.27 (2006/02/20)
Lightweight (rr-1.27.update) package (main files only); designed to use together with rr-1.24.extra package.

Changelog:

Common:
- max linesize of .rrt file increased up to ~1080 bytes (for long
  comments, especially rrenc's command-line copy);
- fixed bug in comment processing module (crash if buffer overflows);
- new RR-list option added: -e <ext> - custom extension of XCD files;
- GUI front-end integration is slightly improved.

Edit: there was an erroneous link. Corrected.

Oops... Thanks for warning. Maybe I was slightly sleepy

Version 1.28 (2006/02/24) (for use together with rr-1.24.extra, as usual ). Changelog:

Common:
- fixed bug in command-line parser.

And a novelty: kerberos002 is about to release cdrtfe (GUI front-end for cdrtools) with built-in support of rrenc. He said that rrenc-capable version can be released in the next one or two weeks.

[Elic]

Version 1.29 (2006/02/27) is an update to rr-1.24.extra, as usual. Changelog:

Common:
- fixed bug in m2cdm paramfile composer;
- GUI front-end integration is improved (status line output).

And what's important: kerberos002 have released version 1.2pre1 of his GUI front-end to mode2cdmaker & cdrtools called cdrtfe which allows RR-protection of XCD discs. So we already have a nice front-end for rrenc (in both binary and sources).

It's very difficult to find RR packages today (official site is dead and most of other sources are also invalid), so I decided to upload the latest versions here.

Looks like a nice find, thanks for that
If you could add rr-1.24.main.zip as well so the package is complete

AFAIK, rr-1.29.update.zip is a substitution for rr-1.24.main.zip.
