how to know what drive supports Xcd.

[junglemike]

Hi everyone.
I'm constantly using xcd format. And it really works well. Not any problems at all since the last verstion of nsis direct show filter.
All my driver play xcd's very well,but i tried to read xcd on very old 2x scsi cdrom. As a result,windows shows that it is audio cd:confused: .(and i know it is movie in ogm format. Actually i didn't expect so much from this drie. My general question is. Is there a way to know which drive supports xcd and which not, and maybe it is not "pure hardware" compatibility , but anything else(system driver, os, ide controller type,some ds filters)?

If you have newer drives with newer software and newer systems you should be fine for the most part. Audio CDs are Mode2 Form2. So are Video CDs which are the basis that I an others suggested be applied to create what grew into X-CD. So the fact that your old 2x SCSI thinks it is an audio CD is not as far fetched as it sounds. If you are worried about perfect compatability then X-CD may not be for you. But over all it has been fairly compatable. More so than the VBR MP3 in AVI kludge.

Thanks for the info. Xcd is very good formt for me. and the fact that some drive cannot read it will not stop me using it. Just one more question ,if you don't mind: Wheter the fact the specific drive can or cannot read xcd depends only on model of the driver? Or it depens on Os,driver,or anything else? Can be a situation that on one pc some specific drive reads xcd but on anoter does not?

Do all CD-RW drives support writing XCD?
