Burning text, artwork etc onto a cd surface

[KLR]

I recall some years back there was discussion on how to actually burn
readable text, patterns or such onto the surface of a CD-R using a
burner - but at the time it was supposed to be nearly impossible to do
with massive technical problems involved on getting everything to burn
in the exact physical place every time. Heard nothing since on the
subject since.

I was sent a music cd (originated in russia) about 2 weeks ago - and
noticed that they had actually burnt the name of the CD etc around the
border (into the data surface)

Whether this was done in a CD burner or by some other dedicated means
I have no idea, however it does look like a manufactured CD.

here is a scan:

Does anyone here have knowlege of any software that can do this in a
standard CD burner ?

Whether or not it makes the rest of the CD useless for storage of
music/data I'm not worried about.

Hi its actually not really software related but hardware created.

It can be done only from a Yahama burner. I think its call discburn2 or
something.

Eltan,

Do you know if the same pattern (in this case text) can be dulplicated if
the CD is copied using another burner? Seems like a nice kind of visible
watermarking feature that might make copying my own CD-ROM discs a bit more
obvious.

Cheers,
Alan

No, I dont think so. The text/graphics on the cds are burnt by the Yahama
burner's laser onto the unused data side.

Details/review about it at

Also, its no "discburn" but really called "Disc T@2" & its no longer produce
by Yamaha, in fact Yamaha no longer make any burner.
