#Photo CD's
Can anybody help me to obtain information on Photo CD's. I have some specific
information that I need regarding the conventions used by KODAK for assigning
Volume Labels to the CD and as to how the image files are named.
Question 1. Is the volume label always in the the format "PCDxxx"? On the CD
that I have, the "xxxx" appears to be a month and date, e.g. "0292". What if
you obtain several CD's in a month. Will they all have the same volume label?
Question 2. Are image files always of the form "IMGyyyy.PCD", where yyyy is a
number starting with 0001 and is incremented for each image on the disk?
I am trying to incorporate support for Photo CD's in my image catalogoing
program PixFolio. My problem is that if each disk contains the same file names,
I have to come up with some other way to be able to uniquely name a file so as
to be able to catalog it. One method would be to use the volume label plus a
number, e.g. PCD0292.003 which would translate to file IMG0003.PCD on disk
"PCD0202". This won't work if the volume labels are not unique or are longer
than 8 bytes long.
Does anybody know the answers to these questions?
Thanks Allen Kempe
