Single cd 807 meg ogm extractor

[AlwSN5]

On a note mildly related to the MCF-CD maker tool posts, here is a link for a program I just wrote that will extract a playable Ogm automatically from a audio cd that has been filled with ogm data.

It is very easy to write an ogm file as an audio cd. Here is a sample .cue file that allows you to burn the cd. I know this works with wincdr, and I assume it works with other burning programs, though I haven't tested it.


FILE C:\dvds\rip\movie.ogm BINARY
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00


What this program does is digitally rip the wav file from the cd you have created filled with ogm data. Then it searches though the file to determine the byte where the ogm header begins, and then calls an external program to to cut off the beginning of the file.

This program isn't 'smart'... give it a cd that doesn't contain ogm data and lord only knows what will happen. Be sure to read the readme.txt for other known issues.

This program does not let you play a file on the fly, it just copies it back to the hard drive for playback. It will take about 15-20 min (or at least it did on my comp) for the file to process completely.

From my tests, 807 mb data file results in exactly 80 min of audio.

You say "It is very easy to write an ogm file as an audio cd." Could you give a few more details on the process of doing this. Do you just leave the ogm file unchanged. Or do you record 10ms of audio and then append the binary file to the end of this audio file?

Thanks for the program and ideas. This thing is really starting to take-off

All you have to do to burn an ogm file as an audio cd is to make a .cue file simillar to the one I have listed above.


FILE C:\dvds\rip\movie.ogm BINARY
TRACK 01 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00


Replace the file name with the name of your file and then save then save the text as a .cue file. You can then burn this .cue using CDRWIN (I used version 3.8D). If you don't feel comforable manually writing your own .cue file, you can use a program like CDRCuesheet Editor. You don't need to edit your original ogm file is any way to burn it as an audio cd. If you need more clarification just ask and I'll see what I can do.
