Copying CD without GUI

whansard · 12-05-2002, 05:53 AM

Let's have some fun with this.

cat /dev/cdrom | cdrecord -v speed=100 dev=0,0,0 -
or
dd if=/dev/cdrom | cdrecord -v speed=100 dev=0,0,0 -
or
dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1M | cdrecord -v speed=100 dev=0,0,0 -
or for some fun cheap buffers
dd if=/dev/cdrom | dd bs=10M | dd bs=10M | dd bs=10M | cdrecord -v speed=100 dev=0,0,0 -
or if you have a big pile of ram
dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=800M | cdrecord speed=100 dev=0,0,0 -

when you say speed = 5000 how do i evaluate the speed if my burner is 8x?

c0c0deuz · 07-04-2003, 06:35 AM

man cdrecord obviously... speed=8

c0c0deuz · 07-08-2003, 09:09 AM

dd if=/dev/cdrom | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=5000 -

it seems that then i update to my new computer, something in the previous command doesn't work...
dev=0,0,0
How can i check if those parameters are ok?

This is strange... i can use X-CD-Roast without any problem but cdrecord don't work.

xcdroast uses cdrecord or cdrdao

cdrecord --scanbus
lists the usable devices

/dev/cdrom must be your other cdrom device

almostlucky · 07-08-2003, 08:24 PM

Code:

cdrdao copy --device (cd-burner) --source-device (another cdrom) --on-the-fly

out of an image, if i try:
cdrecord dev=0,0,0 /usr/tmp/cdimage.iso
it gives me a no read access for cdimage.iso

even if i chmod 777 the file...

shellcode · 07-09-2003, 03:32 PM

also because i didnt see it mentioned:
if you have ATAPI this worked for me:
cdrecord -dev=ATAPI --scanbus
and record with:
cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 image.iso

c0c0deuz · 07-09-2003, 03:58 PM

Yes,
cdrecord -dev=ATAPI --scanbus works, i have the fallowing:
0,0,0 0)HP CD-writer
cdrecord warning: controller returs wrong size for CD capability page.
0.1.0 1)E-IDE CD-ROM 50X

But for burning it doesn't work...

c0c0deuz · 07-09-2003, 04:22 PM

cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 image.iso
return:
no such file or directory. No read access for 'image.iso'

shellcode · 07-09-2003, 09:32 PM

this may seem stupid but:
the image is name image.iso
try chmod 666 image.iso

and since you have atapi check out:

have fun!

After reinstalling RedHat,
dd if=/dev/cdrom | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=8 -
it now works fine... :^(

However the second disk of redhat doesn't want to record correctly. It burns it until the disk is full that tell me that there in not enough place on the disk, fa;;owed by a lot of error messages.

I love that one!!! Great, this is so great! What simplicity and efficiency.

This is what surprises me more and more with linux and why I love it so much.

Are there more where that came from?
More pipe-magic? I am sure I never saw the best of them...
(I hear already somebody saying: "What? You like that? You'aint see nathing yet....this for example....."

I am sure if you plug through the "Tips and Tricks" thread that's floating around here you'll find some piping action that is amazing.

Cool
