Hi all,
S
Ince we are going round in circles a bit here lets look at the editing
of daisy information.

When you edit the information on either a CDR or CDRW (its actually
imaterial with the PTR1), you record sequentially to an MP3 file (that
is, you record from start to finish).  The file will just grow in
length.  There is one MP3 file per book/title/whatever you want to call
it.  You may not insert or delete from that file directly; all this is
done in the DAISY control files.  When you are working with the DAISY
files on the PTR1, ensure you save them regularly to disk, as a lot is
done in memory - it will save if you switch it off after making changes,
but if it crashes (which is highly unlikely) the changes to the DAISY
structure could be lost.

When you finalise the disk, a number of things happen: 1.  The TOC
(table of contents) are created, giving the position of the most up to
date DAISY control files (as these can't be just physically removed from
the CD either).  2.  XML generation is done for standard DAISY
compatibility.  3.  Optionally the disk will be closed for editing.

You can then play the disk with any DAISY player, or put into the PC for
editing with PRS, fr for use with the PRS export function which will
generate proper audio files in relation to the DAISY structure.

The only difference with a CDR and a CDRW is the CDRW can be totally
erased from the disk - i.e, you can only go on until the CDR is full,
then it needs either archiving or binning; not with the CDRW.

Hope this helps,
Andrew.
