reed solomon coding in cdroms

[abel1802]

hello,

I am trying to see how programs for cdroms use reed-solomon coding. I looked in the site lxr.linux.no , but couldnt get anything there, too much details present. So could sm1 give me the correct link for this, or give me some idea of how its done?-thanx.

Recommend you do a google search for "reed solomon coding", plenty of information there.

Also, please don't use texting shorthand, not all us old fogies understand it! (sm1)
