Replay Converter 3 beta and accessibility with JAWS 9

[petrogia]

Computer Setup is

Windows XP Home SP2, JAWS 9 screen reader, Replay AV 8.41.

Started testing some more the Replay Converter 3.0 beta (3b8
build) with JAWS 9. All feels accessible and working well so
far. I checked to see if the main interface buttons still worked
like the minimize, about, exit, options and its dialog box
contents, list box, removing an item in the list box and more.

I converted a .mp3 file to .wma and a .wmv to .mp3.

I need to check the new feature which allows one to import the
video off a DVD disc. DVD disc that is non-copyrighted. I have
to locate one tomorrow.

The one change I see in this version is you can now add or
delete the audio and video target formats you see in the list
box. Just choose "add ..." in the list box to add the additional
formats. Standard dialog box and list box. Spacebar to select or
deselect then choose the add button. Then you will be back in
the main interface listbox for the formats. To remove a format
you press your applications keyboard key (right mouse click) and
choose delete in the context menu. Make sure you select the
format first before pressing the applications key. Simple.
Deleting the format does not permanently delete the format from
your computer. You can add the format again.

Made a data CD on first test attempt with Replay Converter 3.0 beta (3b8). After the burn was done for me I checked the CD-R to see if the files were there and they were there but with only one issue.

The files I had burned to the CD were not the original long names. They were shortened. How come? My other backups like Nero 6.6, Karen's Replicator and Windows default CD backups do preserve the file names.

Just letting you know.

I believe that you want something ISO 9660, (Rock Ridge) or UDF, a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), defines a file system for CD-ROM media. It aims at supporting different computer operating systems such as Unix, Linux (see CDFS), Windows and Mac OS, so that data may be exchanged.

An extension to ISO 9660, the Joliet format, adds support for longer file names and non-ASCII character sets.

DVDs may also use the ISO 9660 file system. However, the UDF file system is more appropriate on DVDs as it has better support for the larger media and is better suited for modern operating system needs.

These extensions are, briefly:

* Longer file names (up to 255 bytes)
* Fewer restrictions on characters allowed in filenames
* UNIX-style file modes, user ids and group ids
* Symbolic links
* Deeper directory hierarchy
