Well, just issuing a command like: cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -v - cdimage.iso
starts the processes up and eventually gets to to: Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ...
And it just sits there like that forever.
Now, I'm assuming when you say to issue the command: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso /directory
that /directory in this case is where the cdrom is mounted? or what?
Anyhow, I tried to do the following: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -v -
But that didn't work. It immediately completed the job with: Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... input buffer ready. cdrecord: Premature EOF on stdin. cdrecord: Input buffer error, aborting. cdrecord: fifo had 1 puts and 0 gets. cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%.
I've looked at the man pages, and I'm even more confused.

You could always read the man pages for mkisofs and cdrecord. :-P
To create a CD image using mkisofs, add the -o option (example: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso /directory)
To write a CD image using cdrecord, just specify the file name (example: cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -v- cdimage.iso)
I'm not too sure how reliable it is to use a pipe between the two; I would be worried that using a pipe would make a buffer underrun more likely.
