Subject: video cd reading on freebsd
Hey everyone,
as many of you might know (by reading -multimedia), i would like to write
a video cd input plugin for xine (xine.sourceforge.net, a player for
mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 video that is mainly developed on linux, which
synchronizes playback of video and audio) that works on freebsd.
the current video cd plugin for linux uses the linux ioctls, which we
obviously don't have on freebsd (aside from luoqi's patch that is not in
-stable, as far as i understand).
it needs a way to read the toc of the vcd (which is a ioctl call on
linux), and read the video stream off of the disc.
i understand that there is a (quite straightforward) way to read the raw
data off a video cd using an atapi drive and that Mike Meyer is going to
make it work for scsi as well as soon as he has time to do that. now i
still don't quite understand how to do read data off of video cds exactly
(although probably the answer is in mails on -multimedia, which i intend
to read through again looking for this information - after getting an
atapi drive). if someone (uwe?) could send me some sample c-program that
does that, i would be really grateful.
but i have absolutely no clue about how to read the toc off a video cd.
will sys/cdio.h's ioc_read_toc_entry work for that ? if so, will it work
for atapi, scsi or both ?!
Heiko
