Hi, Due to hard disk limitations, I am not currently able to do TAO recording. I have tried using 'cdrdao' for DAO recording with some options enabled but so far only few of the audio CDs I have burned are perfect: on most of them there are parasite noises. A friend told me that buffer underruns would be occurring. I have tried to play with the options but had no success so far.
What are failsafe options to perform DAO (time does not matter as long as the result is perfect) ? Here is the hardware I am using: Athlon 500 w/ 128 M Asus K7 Ricoh MP 7040A (CD writer) Sony CDU 611 (CD reader) I use modules 'ide-scsi' and 'sg' module of course. Here is the script I use to perform DAO: #!/bin/sh # Generate 'table of contents' for DAO recording cdrdao read-toc --datafile - --device 0,0,0 /tmp/cd.toc # Pipe ripped songs over to cdrdao using the 'toc' generated above cdda2wav -q -D 0,0,0 -t 1 -d 5000 -O cdr -C guess -E big - | \ cdrdao write --paranoia-mode 1 --driver generic-mmc:0x20000 \ --device 0,1,0 --buffers 64 --speed 4 --eject /tmp/cd.toc # Erase the 'toc' when recording is done rm /tmp/cd.toc The script was adpated from a script that somebody has posted on this list (I have not kept track of who it was). If someone has found a way to use 'cdparanoia' instead of 'cdda2wav', let me know. Any suggestions are welcome. -- Sérgio Da Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No matter where I go, the place is always called "here". ------------------------------------------------------------------------
