How do I burn all of my digital photos

frontier1 · 12-17-2003, 04:55 AM

on to a cd-r, I can't figure out how to do this! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

well. you could take your hard drive and throw it on the fire... :-D

You need to crear an iso image. And then burn it with cdrecord.

Read: man mkisofs and man cdrecord.

What's the complication? Can u burn other CD's?

Explain how you want to record the photos to CD. As a data CD or a photo CD?

frontier1 · 12-17-2003, 04:24 PM

yes I can burn Audio Cd's, I just thought I could mount the CD-RW in a file manager and drag and drop. That of course doesn't work. So I need to create an .iso image and then burn it as a data cd?

That sounds like windows thinking to me. Anyway, you have things like xtoaster and stuff, frontends of cdrecors and mkisofs.

Last I checked, support for UDF on Linux is not yet complete.

If you want to burn your photos to CD-Rs, Ciccio's response of,
"You need to create an iso image. And then burn it with cdrecord.
Read: man mkisofs and man cdrecord."
remains your best advice.

Did you install any CD burning apps when you installed Fedora? Like
k3b or xcdrecord?

Aww man that hurts, "windows thinking"

I successfully used Gnome toaster, I was just confused about the iso image, I thought that was just for burning images (like Linux distros) Thanks for the help!

Ciccio · 12-17-2003, 06:43 PM

yeah... sorry... it was too much... :-P

actually gnome toaster creates an iso and burns it with cdrecord... it's a frontend.

I use k3b. If you want drag and drop it works. You need to tell it to create a data CD. Easy.

It's not hard to burn a CD from the console... it just takes a little practice...

Code:

mkisofs /home/http/files files.iso && cdrecord dev=0,0 files.iso

should be enough

I have installed udftools and patched the kernel.
UDF works perfectly but only as root.
Now i can easily drag and drop in konqueror and write it to cdrw (only as root).

Any ideas to make it possible for users ?

Ciccio · 12-18-2003, 06:29 PM

file permissions in /dev/cdrom?

fatgod · 12-20-2003, 02:38 AM

yeah but then you can't progressively burn stuff to a CD, I use k3b and just drag and drop new photos to it and add them to an existing multisession cd.

k3b is completely excellent. takes a while to compile though - `phew!'
