Subject: [3-19] How can I compress or encrypt data on a CD-ROM?

CD-Recordable FAQ
The easiest way is to use your favorite compression or encryption utility and process the files before putting them on the CD. However, this isn't transparent to the end user. CRI-X3 enables programs like DoubleSpace to work on a CD. It's intended for a publisher or for significant internal use, and the licensing is priced accordingly. See http://www.cdrominc.com/.

How do I encrypt or compress the data before sending it through the socket?

Common Questions
One easy way to do encryption is to use SSL (secure sockets layer), but that's beyond the scope of this guide. But assuming you want to plug in or implement your own compressor or encryption system, it's just a matter of thinking of your data as running through a sequence of steps between both ends. Each step changes the data in some way. You can also do compression at the same point that you do the encryption/decryption, above. Or you could do both! Just remember to compress before you encrypt.

Subject: [3-24] How do I copy a CD-ROM with 3GB of data on it?

CD-Recordable FAQ
You don't. The CD-ROM doesn't actually have that much data on it. Some CD publishers use a trick where they reference the same spot on the disc several times with overlapping files. If you try to do a file-by-file copy from the disc onto your hard drive, you'll end up with several copies of the same blocks, and more data than can fit on a CD-ROM. VideoCDs often appear to have individual files that are 700MB or more. In this case, they really *are* that big.

CD-Recordable FAQ - section 3
Some CD publishers use a trick where they reference the same spot on the disc several times with overlapping files. This is common on software installation discs with support for multiple languages. A separate install directory, with a full set of files, is created for each language. Any common files, such as installation routines or language-independent code, are written to the disc once and shared by all.

How can I back up files on CD-ROM?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
Compact disk recording opens up many possibilities. Obviously, archiving software is one of them. Another is being able to record audio. In my studio, I've placed a lot of important material on analog tape; and, unlike the diskette situation, there is no doubt of the imminent danger of degradation. Burning the audio to CD would maintain the original quality, with the added bonus of random access. CDR also opens up business opportunities.

Can I somehow compress the data?

blazePDF || faq
YES! With version 2 of the blazePDF component, any on-stage or in-library MovieClip you embed can optionally have a run-length encoding pass done during the processing. For images that are mostly solid colors or lots of empty-space this will reduce the size of the ASCII data dramatically. For images that are more photographic in nature (lots of different colors next to each other), this process could actually result in a larger size.

Subject: [3-9] How do I put photographs onto CD-ROM?

CD-Recordable FAQ

There are a great many different scanners, with different resolutions and capabilities. http://www.zdnet.com/products/scanneruser/index.html is a fair place to start.
