NAME¶

ccd2cue - CCD sheet to CUE sheet converter

SYNOPSIS¶

ccd2cue [OPTION...] [ccd-file]

DESCRIPTION¶

Convert CCD sheet to CUE sheet.

The input file, referred as 'ccd-file', must exist. If 'ccd-file' is '-', or omitted, standard input is used. It is necessary to supply at least one file name, in an option or non-option argument, in order to deduce the remaining file names needed, and only one file name of each type can be supplied.

OPTIONS¶

-c, --cd-text=cdt-file

write CD-Text data to 'cdt-file'

-o, --output=cue-file

write output to 'cue-file'

While the main output file 'cue-file' is always generated, the 'cdt-file' is created only when there is CD-Text data. If 'cue-file' is '-', or '--output' is omitted, standard output is used.

-a, --absolute-file-name

use absolute file name deduction

-i, --image=img-file

reference 'img-file' as the image file

The 'img-file' is a reference to a data file required only in burning time and thus its existence is not enforced at conversion stage.

-?, --help

Give this help list

--usage

Give a short usage message

-V, --version

Print program version

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options.

EXAMPLES¶

The most ordinary use case is when you have a CCD set of files and just want to generate a CUE sheet file in order to burn or otherwise access the data inside the image file. Supposing your CCD sheet file is called gnu.ccd, you are done with the command:

ccd2cue -o gnu.cue gnu.ccd

If you have burned a CD from a CUE sheet produced by this program and all audio tracks became only senseless static noise, you may need to tell your burning software to swap the byte order of all samples sent to the CD-recorder. This can be accomplished with (for example) the '--swap' option when using the 'cdrdao' program. Experience has shown that at least for mixed-mode discs it is necessary to use that option when burning, otherwise you will almost certainly waste a CD.

Supposing you want to burn a CD using the 'cdrdao' program and a CUE sheet file named 'gnu.cue', and wisely want to ensure the correct behavior of your burnt disc, use the command:

cdrdao write --swap --speed 1 --eject gnu.cue

That way 'cdrdao' will swap the byte order of audio samples, cautiously burning in the smallest possible speed and will eject your CD when it is done.
