Brief Summary:

Create dll to interpret and/or create CD/DVD/BD image files *.NRG or *.CIF or *.DMG or ... (prototype and example available, easy implementation)

What I need are image file types that are not or not properly supported by IsoBuster (www.isobuster.com)

Common image file types are ISO, IMG, BIN etc. (however these are already properly supported).

In particular interested in full, random accessible, *compressed* DMG, but also full NRG or other common image file types, UIF, CIF, ...

The aim is to marry third party knowledge of certain image files (yours) with the power of an existing application.

The CD prototype and example are available, yet work is still in progress. Should be finished by the time a developer can start.


Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this bid request. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Bid request Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Bid request Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this bid request?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this bid request?
Informal documentation - As the buyer talks back and forth about the bid request with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your bid request on the Rent A Coder site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • Other:32 bit dynamic link library (dll) built with Borland C++ Builder 2009
Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in dll form as well as complete source code of all work done (compiled under Borland C++ Builder 2009 so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.
Other Requirements:
Create dll to interpret and/or create CD/DVD/BD image files *.NRG or *.CIF or *.DMG or ... (prototype and example available, easy implementation)

What I need are image file types that are not or not properly supported by IsoBuster (www.isobuster.com)

In particular interested in full, random accessible, *compressed* DMG, but also full NRG or other common image file types, UIF, CIF, ...

Suggest what type support you can provide. If more people suggest different formats then I may need (and want) to duplicate this bid request to make more dlls)

The aim is to marry third party knowledge of certain image files (yours) with the power of an existing application. Are you very familiar with a formats and its inner and outer workings / spec ? Do you have access to the spec etc. ...

The CD prototype and example are available, yet work is still in progress. Should be finished by the time a developer can start.
These ordered dlls will need to compile under Borland C++ Builder 2009.
I will likely sign these dlls if they are distributed so I need to be able to compile myself.

The specs will become public in a few months so 'everybody' will be able to make plugins (dlls) at some point, but for now I want to have a few dlls present, to add functionality, test and improve the interface, etc.
So your feedback is appreciated and the interface / functions may still need to change based on your input.

The current version of the dll code and header file is attached. As mentioned this is not the final version yet (but close).
  • All deliverables must be uploaded to Rent A Coder before the deadline(s) for this bid request...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this bid request...but instead alert Rent A Coder of an un-arbitratable, illegal bid request.
  • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business bid requests <$500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and worker agreements. Rent A Coder monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
