You haven't specified which program. Do all the above programs take that option? Evidently I haven't used them. I use wodim and readom the last few years and never had a problem, never had to learn about that argument. I used to use some other program - maybe cdrecord, but only for recording data discs. I don't remember the option. > I wrote about it here: > http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/coasterless.htm I put that link in my snippets/dvd.txt file the last time I saw it in one of your posts. Thanks again. > Are you using those arguments, and do you read your written CDs/DVDs as > a device to check the md5sum against that of the iso you burned? When I read an audio CD I use cdparanoia - should have added that to the list: cdparanoia FTW!!! RAH RAH RAH<ok thanks> Other things from my snippets/dvd.txt file: When I read data cds and dvds (haven't needed to do so for a couple of years, I used to use dd, which on chained read-write-read would create a larger image, so nowadays I use the following: sudo readom dev=/dev/scd0 f=my-image.iso and this to record: sudo wodim -v -eject dev=/dev/scd0 my-image.iso sudo wodim -v -eject -format dev=/dev/scd0 # if you need to format an R/W first To write a tar archive directly to a CD that will later contain a simple # ISO9660 filesystem with the tar archive call: tar cf - . | genisoimage -stream-media-size 333000 | wodim dev=b,t,l -dao tsize=333000s - # combine gen image/ write: genisoimage -J -r -f -V myvolname -graft-points /=symlink-farm-dir -stream-media-size 333000 | wodim dev=/dev/sr0 -dao tsize=333000s - ??? And here's one which I used, this one time, to copy off all the Debian packages off a set of Debian DVDs, into a local archive (running 'quick and dirty archive creation command' afterwards of course): # Example of two alternating (actually, parallel), commands, # to optimally read in a bunch of DVDs into a local mirror: sudo readom dev=/dev/scd0 f=s && eject # (alternate with filename 't' instead of 's') sudo mount -o loop /media/s /media/u && sudo nice rsync -av /media/u/ ./ && sudo umount /media/u && sudo rm /media/s # ditto To create an ISO image from a set of files or symlinks: genisoimage -J -r -f -V myvolname -o image.iso -graft-points /=symlink-farm-dir Some flac audio commands I use (always store your master audio in flac of course): Rip an audio cd into a single master flac file, with cue sheet for tracks: abcde -1npV -o flac -a default,cue -S 32 Convert the tracks in the file my_disc.flac into another format (in this case vorbis): abcde -o vorbis -d my_disc.flac Creating a bootable USB stick on gnu: > Which instructions or program are you using to create the pen drive? cat filename.iso.hybrid > /dev/sdb,c,d,x cp /my/debian-boot-dvd.iso /dev/sdWHATEVER dd if=/my/debian-boot-dvd.iso of=/dev/sdBLAH bs=1M Regards Zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
