CD ROM, Inc. and CarSch Management Services Offer Free CD-R/RW Recording Software
BOULDER, Colo., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- CD ROM, Inc. and CarSch Management Services Inc. today announced the availability of free CD-R/RW recording software. The software product, OpenDisc Enabling Software (ESW), is immediately available via free download from www.carsch.com.

OpenDisc ESW is a true 32-bit premastering software program for Windows 95(TM) and 98(TM) which permits recording functions on CD-R and CD-RW discs utilizing either ISO 9660 formatting or the UDF (Universal Disc Format) recording process. The software also works as is in Windows 2000(TM).

The announcement is the latest joint effort between CD ROM, Inc. and CarSch. The companies previously announced an exclusive agreement for the sales and distribution of the CRIX3(TM) CD/DVD compression software product. CRIX3(TM) enables users to increase a discs storage capacity by 2x, 3x or more depending on file type and makeup providing real-time access to compressed information.

"OpenDisc ESW provides all the essential features for average users who want to distribute data, record audio CDs and use CDs like big floppy disks, but with an extremely simple user interface. We believe consumers should not be burdened with cumbersome, expensive applications just to have basic functionality," said Chuck Schmidt, CEO of CarSch.

ESW provides support for many popular CD-Recorders with an upgrade path to many other model offerings. Key features include:

  • Premastering in ISO 9660 Format for mainstream CD-R publishing
  • Records CD-DA Red Book Audio Discs for music buffs
  • Supports UDF formatting for floppy-like recording
  • Includes unique Error Check and Defragmentation utilities

CarSch Management will provide support and develop specialized features for future versions of ESW, which will be available for minimal upgrade pricing. The two firms are preparing the ESW source for distribution on the open market in a fashion similar to what has been done with the Linux(TM) operating system. Support for NT and specific add-on functionality is planned for Q3, 2000. "Our approach is 'a la carte,' users can purchase only what they need and when they need it. Why pay for features you don't require or have no intention of ever using?" commented Dr. Roger Hutchison, President and CEO of CD ROM, Inc.

"Free recording software is truly an idea whose time has come. While there will always be a market for specialized software functionality, an industry goal has been to make CD recording as transparent as writing to a floppy. After all, when's the last time you paid for floppy writing software?" added Chuck Schmidt.

CD ROM, Inc. www.cdrominc.com is the oldest privately held CD-ROM company in the industry. It develops unique and leading edge CD-ROM and DVD technologies and is the holder of several patented products.
