file format conversions.

- Software selection,
- CD-R / CD-RW support,
- Transparently compressed CD (ZISO) support,
- Directory to ISO/ZISO image,
- ISO/ZISO image to CD,
- Data CD to ISO,

- RAW/WAV recording from /dev/dsp,
- RAW/WAV/MP3/OGG playback,
- Automatic TOC file generation,
- Different blanking modes,
- Write simulation (dummy mode),
- Overburning, etc...
OPTIONS
1 Disables program output windows. This will take
away some control and information, but is good for
repetitive tasks. Use it with care. In fact, you
should not use it at all until you have some routine
using tcdr.
NOTES
To successfully run and use tcdr, you need at least
cdtool, cdrdao, dialog and cdrtools (mkisofs, cdrecord,
isoinfo) on your system.
Transparently compressed CD-ROMs are currently readable
only on Linux. You need mkisofs from cdrtools package
version 1.11a20 or later to create transparently com
pressed CD-ROMs.
You need cdrecord version 1.11a01 or later to perform
overburning. Make sure to perform a dummy simulation run
before overburning a CD-ROM.
tcdr beyond version 1.x will search for installed software
capable to perform the same tasks and use the available
ones, or if multiple choices are available, the ones with
the best quality/performance. This behavior can be
altered by hacking the tcdr executable. See the online
documentation (manual.html) for details.

BUGS
brec and rawrec recording could be described as untested
and skittish at best. Please consider using sox instead.
Sanity checks for all the supported software is pretty
time consuming, so please report any bugs you encounter;
you will be credited in the Changelog! ;-).
