How to directly burn a list of files to a CDROM or DVD disc?
 
Hello,

"List.lst" is my file containing my files. How may I burn them onto my blank disc with either growisofs or cdrecord?

Usually it is based on a copy of a folder to a temp folder, and burn this folder. but I would like to use a file as input. man growisofs is not so widely full of explanations.. .

thanks in advance

How about something like this?

Code:
tmpdir="/tmp/${RANDOM}-$(date %s)"
mkdir "$tmpdir"

while read file
do
    cp "$file" "$tmpdir"
done < List.lst

mkisofs -r -o image.iso "$tmpdir"

rm -r "$tmpdir"

this method you have been given, is not directly a burning way technqiue. you create an ISO then you burn... :( thank you anyhow. thx

You know the reason why this thread, I know that K3B has a very well advanced way to burn the DVD-roms using growisofs
If you could, could you do a ps aux and report me the command K3B uses to burn directly ? It uses as well a < input file ... temporally created in the /tmp (unfornutately I have not K3B installed at work)


this one, but i am sure that k3b does better

I don't know about K3B, but this is the usual way to burn discs from the command line is with cdrecord.

but I would be surely wishing to burn without creating a temp ISO, direclty, like does K3B. I guess that might be possible,... would be cool but does not states on boards ...:(

Growisofs works too, I tried but it failed sometimes for x obscur reasons... :(
