  • R97-1999 Exchange of Sound Programmes As BWF Files on CD
    EBU Technical Recommendation R97-1999 Exchange sound programmes as BWF files on recordable EBU data discs (CD-R(recordable), CD-RW(rewritable) and UER DVD-R) EBU Committee First Issued Revised Re-issued PMC 1999 Keywords: Audio recording, audio file formats The EBU has standardised the BWF file format for sound programme material [1]. Recordable optical data discs such as CD-R and DVD-R have many attractive features for the exchange of such sound programme files. However, several different recording formats already exist for these media, and not all are readable on all computer platforms. Therefore, for the time being, the prior agreement of the recipient organisation should be obtained before sound programme material is exchanged in this form. Recently a Universal Disc Format (UDF)1 [2, 3] has been specified by the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA), and is now the standard format used for DVD-R and other types of Optical Disc Storage. It can also be used for CD-R. However, in the past, the older ISO 9660 disc format has been used for CD-ROMs and many older players are not able to read the UDF format. For this reason, although the EBU would like to encourage the use of the UDF, it recognises that it as yet too early to recommend its universal use for programme exchange. The EBU recommends, that if CD-R and DVD-R data discs2 are used as a support for exchange of programme material as audio files, with the prior agreement of the recipient organisation, they should conform to the following requirements.

This technical memorandum examines the basics surrounding computer forensic filesystem timelines and provides an enhanced approach to generating superior timelines for improved filesystem analysis and contextual awareness. Timelines are improved by polling multiple sources of information across the filesystem resulting in an approach that is surprisingly flexible and customizable. The timeline is further enhanced by incorporating key time-based metadata found across a disk image which, when taken as a whole, increases the forensic investigator’s understanding. Résumé …..... Ce mémorandum technique examine les bases entourant la création d’un calendrier des événements inforensiques des systèmes de fichier et fournit une approche améliorée pour générer des calendriers supérieurs pour une analyse améliorée des systèmes de fichiers et un meilleur éveil contextuel.
