Electronics Forum / Electronics / February 2005Burning text, artwork etc onto a cd surface
I recall some years back there was discussion on how to actually burn readable text, patterns or such onto the surface of a CD-R using a burner - but at the time it was supposed to be nearly impossible to do with massive technical problems involved on getting everything to burn in the exact physical place every time. Heard nothing since on the subject since. I was sent a music cd (originated in russia) about 2 weeks ago - and noticed that they had actually burnt the name of the CD etc around the border (into the data surface) Whether this was done in a CD burner or by some other dedicated means I have no idea, however it does look like a manufactured CD. here is a scan: http://www.geocities.com/kenreed1999/leningrad.jpg Does anyone here have knowlege of any software that can do this in a standard CD burner ? Whether or not it makes the rest of the CD useless for storage of music/data I'm not worried about. Hi its actually not really software related but hardware created. It can be done only from a Yahama burner. I think its call discburn2 or something. > I recall some years back there was discussion on how to actually burn > readable text, patterns or such onto the surface of a CD-R using a [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Whether or not it makes the rest of the CD useless for storage of > music/data I'm not worried about. > Hi its actually not really software related but hardware created. > > It can be done only from a Yahama burner.

Seems like a nice kind of visible watermarking feature that might make copying my own CD-ROM discs a bit more obvious.

No, I dont think so. The text/graphics on the cds are burnt by the Yahama burner's laser onto the unused data side. Details/review about it at http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php?taxid=1901375394&id=1165025882&fp=2&fpid=36 Also, its no "discburn" but really called "Disc T@2" & its no longer produce by Yamaha, in fact Yamaha no longer make any burner. > > Hi its actually not really software related but hardware created. > > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > Whether or not it makes the rest of the CD useless for storage of > > > music/data I'm not worried about. > No, I dont think so.

Correction its not called "discburn2", its called "Disc T@2" made by Yamaha in 2002 > Hi its actually not really software related but hardware created. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Whether or not it makes the rest of the CD useless for storage of > > music/data I'm not worried about.

Also available on the label side on the right type of disc by LightScribe enabled burners (higher end current series HP computers are fitted with these drives .. (T860A), tho I'm yet to find blank discs..) www.lightscribe.com > I recall some years back there was discussion on how to actually burn > readable text, patterns or such onto the surface of a CD-R using a [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Whether or not it makes the rest of the CD useless for storage of > music/data I'm not worried about. |
