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.
