hello list,
what <command-line> program do i need to make an exact copy/back-up on
my hd , under etch, of an image.iso_file on a dvd for the Xbox of my
youngest son?
i tried dvdrip, backupdvd but could not get an image-copy from the dvd
'segmentation-fault'.
(my son told me his Xbox-dvd's seem all to be image-files)
1. I have no idea what etch is
2. it seems you're saying the dvd already has an iso image file on it
which seems silly to me so I'll assume I'm reading it wrong
I'd do it one of two ways I can think of:
time mkisofs -o image.iso -R -J /media/cdrom
time dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.iso
thsnks for your answer.
'etch' is debian-testing
and,
yes: a image-file already on a dvd seems silly but is not unusual in the
microsoft Xbox world. mkisofs and cdrecord i use regularly (the last on
2.4.x kernels). the same for growisofs for dvd's.
my only problem now is to get growisofs or another commandline-working
package burning a dvd from an existing image.iso. i had some trouble
with growisofs' option <-compat-dvd> or something like that: (see: man
growisofs)
i like especially the traditional linux way of working with the
commandline. i know (of course) that with k3b and possibly the somewhat
older xcdroast it is easy to burn a copy on the fly from a Xbox_dvd with
a 3,5 GB_image_file on it.
thank you again,
kind regsrds,
steef
