Since you’re burning audio data to create the visual image, you can’t also store data, etc.

    I understand it only works with CDs, but does this work with DVD burners, while burning CDs? Or does it require a CD-only burner?

    For everyone saying “I’ve seen this before”; yes, yes you have. It was released commercially back when optical disks were… relevant.

    Released 23 years ago, discontinued 15 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiscT@2

    Pretty sure Technology Connections has a video that mentions it.

    I mean it looks kind of cool but then other than that what’s the point?

      I think it could be forked to append images to actual audio tracks, but I am too dumb to do so.

    How to burn that? It’s reported by file as SIMH tape data, Xfburn/Brasero don’t recognize it as valid audio track and data burning provides no image. The software-proposed cdrecord command errors out.

      What’s the error? I’ve played around with this successfully.

          If this is CD-RW try cdrecord blank=fast first if it isn’t blank. Just an idea.

            Ah wait, this doesn’t work with DVD and DVD burners?

              Ah, no. It’s for CDs only. Specifically Mode 2 used for audio since that gives more control over what is 1 and 0.

              Based on a different similar project: https://www.instructables.com/Burning-visible-images-onto-CD-Rs-with-data-beta/
