Yes Tad, i'am in this group of users... for me if you could "cacoaTize" the plug-in with only functions as - scan van all available ports/mac/win - win cd port +label - is cd ready /mounted only this would be enough to me... until full release... Fabrice On Saturday, February 22, 2003, at 03:02 AM

We could possibly do a little "CDInfo" sort of Xtra, if people find that helpful, but as far as stripping out ECD support, that doesn't add a whole lot - most of it is playback control, timing, etc. Stripping out redbook control would leave you with CD Info. Actual ECD just means (from CD Pro

yes good idea... in fact a mini cdpro with CDready, and scan ports and cdlabels would be enough to me... i use it only to detect cd's, not to build a soundplayer. so call it cd(light) if you want... or even CD(not finischedyet) if you want... but plese do it soon!! fabrice On Wednesday,

I'm in digest mode, so pardon if there's a certain amount of "non-sequitur" in my posts. Here's another thought: would it be any easier to rewrite CD-Pro if the enhanced CD functionality was stripped out? KMc [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penwo

Thanks, and we probably will have to charge, because it's a significant rework. Still it will take some time to do. We are committed to Enhanced CDs, but also have other projects on the plate first. People may not realize it, but we do a lot of custom development - and that tends to take pr

Let me add my heartfelt vote for an OSX version of CDPro. (I too, "need it", altho I'm not on a tight deadline like Fletcher.) Tab: why don't you charge for it? Even a lot (several hundred dollars?) Would that give you more incentive to do the rewrite? ;) KMc p.s. I've used CD-Pro a lot w/ XP,

XP still has the same "code base" as prior Windows, and CD Pro will work with it, but they made one fundamental change which forces you to be very careful when writing ECDs (if not an ECD then don't worry). Writers of Enhanced CDs (ECDs) have always had to be careful about what's known as "dev

Ok, I'm about all clear on this now. Many thanks for all the help, and one more question: What about Windows XP? My knowledge of XP is considerably smaller than OSX, but my understanding is that the API relating to CD functions was changed. Does anyone know if CDPro works with XP? f on 2/18/03 1

Penworks' CDPro doesn't seem to work in Director MX. While I'm not totally surprised by this, given that it is not the same as the old Mac OS, it puts me in a major bind -- I've got a project for a client that requires it. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone have a solution/workarou
