Hope you'll like it, also the program's help is fully working now !!! Nice to install eclipse and debugging something 10 years later ... Please rate the software once you've used it !

Channel Code Copy of Compact Discs: This project has the goal to archive the complete content of CDs on the channel code layer. Here, the NRZI signal which stems from the laser-pickup of a CD player is recorded directly, providing sort of a pit-land photo of the CD. The resulting image file, in turn, is demodulated and decoded in software, i.e. within a virtual CD player. The digital audio channel code on LaserDiscs and CD Video discs can be handled as well. Note: The image extraction functionality requires a proprietary hardware interface with a modified disc player. Associated open hardware project "ccccd-HW": http://sourceforge.net/projects/ccccd-hw/ Note: Special restrictions apply. See disclaimers below and within the distribution.
