+New driveropts= option "tattoofile=". Use together with -checkdrive
+to write an image of the right size to disk.
+
+ DiskT@2 hints:
+
+ In order to have "DISKTATTOO" listed in the "Driver flags",
+ the disk currently inserted must be usable for the DiskT@2 feature.
+ This means that there needs to be enough space on it.
+
+ You need an B&W image with 3744 pixels per line
+
+ Best start with a 3744 x 320 pixel image.
+ The correct size may be retrieved with
+ wodim driveropts=tattooinfo -checkdrive
+
+ To get RAW image data:
+
+ - Take 'xv' and save the image in PBM/PGM/PPM (raw) mode
+
+ - use a binary aware (must support unlimited linelength)
+ editor such as 'ved' and remove the header lines.
+ These lines look like:
+
+ P5
+ # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
+ # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
+ 3744 144
+ 255
+
+ Now you should have (in case of the file above) a file that
+ has exactly 539136 Bytes.
+
+ - Note that the tattoo image must be left to right flipped
+ (a mirror image).
+
+From a hint from "E. Robert Bogusta" <rob23@tmr.com>:
+
+Take an image, and do:
+
+ djpeg myface.jpg | ppmtopgm | pnmflip -lr |
+ pnmscale -xsi 3744 -ysi 320 | sed '1,/255/d' >myface.tattoo
+
+So:
+ djpeg extracts ppm from a jpeg. Use your favorite other way of getting
+this far is you wish.
+
+ ppmtopgm changes color to grey scale
+
+ pnmflip -lr flips left to right, the small image is faster
+
+ pnmscale makes it 3644x320 regardless of starting size. This may make it
+look really odd on the CD if it doesn't start off the right size. More on
+this after I try it.
+
+ sed strips from the first line to the line containing 255, which is the
+last header line.
+
+Note that it would be better to use the actual height of the applicable image instead
+of the maximum value of 320 and it would be even more correct to create an
+image that has the right width/height ratio for the target on CD in order
+get an undistorted view of the image on CD.
+
+For best visibility, use black text on light background.

+CD-R drives are anything but WORM drives, but older drives identify themselves
+as WORM drives.
+A Worm drive is able to write each sector once at any time without preparation.
+A CD-R drives is not and never will be able to do this.
+However some old drives identify as WORM drives.
+
+For this reason the SCSI-3 standard tells CD-R drives simply CD drives

+Using CD-RW media Mini Howto FAQ
+
+CD-RW drives usually support packet writing, but as there
+is currently no usable UDF filesystem support you may only use
+the simple wodim approach.
+
+wodim writes to CD-RW media in exactly the same way as it
+does with CD-R.
+
+You may erase a complete disk in preparation to reuse it.
+Check the man page entry for the blank= option of wodim.
+Not all drives support all blanking modes. Usually
+blank=fast or blank=full are working.

+Hints for how to copy a CD using the clone method:
+
+Step 1 (read master CD):
+
+ Call "readcd dev=b,t,l -clone f=somefile" and the files
+
+ somefile
+ and
+ somefile.toc
+
+ will be generated.
+
+ If the disk contains many sectors that are unreadable by intention,
+ call "readcd dev=b,t,l -clone -nocorr f=somefile"
+
+
+Step 2 (write copy):
+
+ Call "wodim dev=b,t,l -raw96r -clone -v somefile"
+
+If wodim complains that your drive does not support -raw96r, but the
+drive is able to do clone writing at all, then wodim will propose you
+a different write mode that works with the drive.

+Tips for MMC RAW mode writing.
+
+ This allows to do disk at once recording on Philips drives that
+ do not support SAO.
+
+ You may write audio tracks in RAW mode. There are some new
+ and most likely transient options:
+
+ -raw16 Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+Q Subchannel
+
+ -raw96r Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+W Subchannel (R-W in raw mode)
+
+ -raw96p Write 2352 Bytes sectors + P+W Subchannel (R-W in packed mode)
+
+ NOTE that the MMC standard does not allow -dummy in RAW mode.
+ There may be drives which allow it but don't bother if it does not work.
+
+ Indices are fully supported in RAW mode.
+
+ MCN & ISRC are not yet supported in RAW mode, they are silently discarded.
+
+ If you find other problems in RAW mode or if you find
+ new bugs introduced in old write modes, please send a bug report.
+
+ wodim now checks the properties of the writer. If a specific write
+ mode is not supported by the writer, wodim warns you and makes
+ a suggestion for a similar alternate write mode.
+
+ With the curent structure of wodim, it is not possible to silently
+ e.g. change the write mode from -dao to -raw96r
+
+ MMC compliant drives are automatically scanned for supported write modes.
+ This should help to make wodim work without manual static configuration.
+ My hope is still to have no need to know all drive properties in
+ advance, so new drives will continue to work as long as they
+ are standard compliant enough for wodim.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+ wodim dev=1,0 -v -raw96r *.wav
+
+ will write a audio CD in raw mode using (computed) 2448 byte sectors
+ with raw P-W subchannels. This works e.g. with Plextor drives.
+
+
+ wodim dev=1,0 -v -raw16 *.wav
+
+ will write a audio CD in raw mode using (computed) 2368 byte sectors
+ with raw P+Q subchannels. This works e.g. with Philips drives.
+
+
+ NOTE: The input sector size always is 2352 bytes for audio.
+
+IMPORTANT:
+
+ - if the drive supports RAW/R96R among with other raw write modes,
+ use -raw96r
+
+ - if the drive does _only_ supports RAW/R16, use -raw16
+
+ - ... else if the drive supports RAW/R96P, use -raw96p
+
+ The packed raw mode (RAW/R96P) is buggy in Plextor drives and
+ the RAW/R16 mode is buggy in TEAC drives. Plextor creates
+ unreadable disks and TEAC hangs the drive.
+
+ For this reason, it is important to select the raw writing
+ mode accoding to the notes above.
