[00:00] WHAT FORSOOTH, PRITHEE TELL ME THE SECRET WORD [00:00] THY SECRET WORD IS 'yahoosucks' [00:01] GO FORTH AND ADD KNOWLEDGE TO THE COLLECTIVE :) [00:01] LOL. TY, omf_! [13:30] I just cleaned out the family closet full of old cd- and dvd-roms, and now I have this pile of old shareware-bundles and old games going back to at least 1999 [13:31] is there any preferred format to stopre disc images? what imaging format has #archiveteam´s seal of approval? [13:39] iso [13:40] all the cd and dvd images I do are in .iso [13:41] that covers the ISO 9660 and UDF standards [13:48] ah thanks, also, I´m using Windows (please don´t kill me, I´m just lazy) so is there any problem with using ImgBurn to image disks, are there settings I should be wary of? [13:50] imgburn can make iso files [13:50] example: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11003/how-to-create-a-windows-iso-from-a-disc-using-imgburn/ [13:51] I know, I just mean: does it mangle something (data or metadata) I might not be aware of? [13:51] nothing I know of. Anyone else know? [13:52] y´know, quirks to be wary of [13:52] ah [13:53] hey, it even has an option to generate .md5-files *enables* [13:53] utf stuff is the only thing I know about keeping an eye on [13:54] udf? [13:55] or utf, as in the encoding? [13:55] utf-8* [13:56] yah [13:56] screwed up names and the like [13:57] ah [13:57] yeah, figures [14:07] hmm [14:07] imgburn throws an error [14:08] or more like, a warning and offer to correct asetting [14:09] http://i.imgur.com/17F8WPI.png [14:12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM#CD-ROM_format hmm [14:13] looks like mode 1 is preferable, with the error detection and correction and stuff [14:15] anyway, I´ll be afk for a bit [14:15] eat breakfast and stuff, although it´s 4pm over here [14:59] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM#Disc_images given this information, from a archival standpoint I think it´s better to use ccd/img, cue/bin or mds/mdf [15:01] ISO only stores the data parts of a cd-sector, while those other formatgs also store the error checking/correction information etc. [15:01] formats* [15:11] planning to upload to IA then? [15:22] dashcloud: if I find out how to, sure [15:23] it's not that hard- I've recently started doing it myself [15:23] I just use the IA web uploader [15:23] if you're doing a disc at a time, it's fine [15:24] if you've got hundreds of discs, you may want to investigate a different method [15:24] planning to upload cover art as well? [15:27] if so, plan your names accordingly- the first image alphabetically or numerically is treated as the cover image, even if it actually isn't [15:32] It's best to upload cue/bin and ccd/img and also an ido. [15:32] iso. [15:32] If needed, I can write something that pulls down your ccd/img and makes the iso. [15:40] so, upload a cue/bin file and a iso together? [15:40] I walked 13 miles yesterday. Going to see what happens today. [15:40] Yes, or, like I said, I can write something to do that work, which is faster if you're doing hundreds. [15:43] so, what software on Linux lets you create cue/bin files? [15:44] cdrdao [15:45] http://miketeo.net/wp/index.php/2008/05/10/creating-bincue-files-on-linux.html [15:45] Which basically is the libs for what most writers use anyway afaik [15:47] okay- thanks! [17:24] dashcloud: thanks for the heads up about the cover images, will remember thjat for when I decide to upload covers [17:24] that* [17:35] Also, does someone in here have experience with buffing scratches from optical media, some of my discs are´nt reading out properly anymore :/ [17:36] aren´t* [17:36] glad I could help [18:06] I could never really get anywhere with buffing discs but I did find that tricky discs would sometimes read in some drives and not others - so having a selection of different drives (including different types - e.g. CD-only, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray) was helpful in 'jigsawing' a complete image together. [18:06] Muad-Dib_: cdparanoia doesn't cut the mustard anymore? [18:38] xmc, using windows, sadly [18:38] Muad-Dib_: try EAC [18:39] It´s a data cd [18:39] ahh, then not sure [18:41] looks like archive.org doesn't like my dates [18:41] for my g4video-web collection [18:41] D: [18:42] the older method that had 0 infront of single digits i think is the way the search and publish by date works [18:45] http://youtu.be/aJkI6xOPspM [18:45] awk '{ for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) $i=sprintf("%02d", $i); print; } [18:45] there you go [18:45] try that, let me know how you get on (just grabbed from google) [18:48] Smiley: That only works for the first number [18:50] hmm [18:50] i<=4 [18:51] still not working [18:51] 04 00 00 00 [18:52] gah [19:38] Muad-Dib_: that yoda message means the disc is not compatible with ISO format, better to do a bin/cue rip that documents the original disc properly rather than force it into ISO [19:39] I use imgburn for my shareware CDs, if you have read errors then there is a program called ddrescue that's useful but it's not straightforward to get on windows I don't think [19:40] Muad-Dib_: isopuzzle might work if you're on windows [19:43] thanks, I´ll take a look at isopuzzle [19:54] Is there an already-standing process for photo-scanning books? Or a way to automate it if you're DIY'ing? [19:54] Aranje: you probably want to ask mistym, who does that [19:54] winr4r:) thanks :) [20:11] Aranje like http://www.diybookscanner.org/ ? [20:11] they probably got the info you want on the forums [20:53] kk :) [21:38] archiving idea: monitor .com/.org/.net for expirations, if domain actually expires, use the old IP to scrape the site [21:44] Indeed, been on the wishlist for long [21:44] and it's a great idea [23:12] If you have coding experience and want to help out with grabbing puush, head here! https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/puush-grab [23:12] Your attention please, [23:12] Also join the #pushharder channel for more details. We only have half a month to go before they start expiring images. [23:12] Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
