How to burn cds

stephenk · 06-01-2003, 03:21 AM

I am currently using redhat 8.0
and i have a asus 16x dvd and a ricoh 32x10x40x

i wonder how can i do cd copy in redhat 8.0
i try to use the gui buildin, but i can't configure my dvd, it can only detect my burner.

and do anyone know how to extract a cd image from a cd under linux?

thanks

U should give a try to XCDroast, it scans your devices as well.

A lot of the tools used to burn CD's under linux require scsi emulation for both the source drive and the burner. So you'll need to edit your boot loader to "append="hdx=ide-scsi" where hdx is the device your DVD is on.

As for copying a CD:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/save/file/to/filename.iso
I use conv=noerror to help:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/iso/filename.iso conv=noerror

man dd for more info.

Cool

Try cdrecord -v speed=x dev=x,x,x /path/to/filename.iso

If you aren't sure what your device is try:

cdrecord -scanbus (that should tell you)
Also, for speed= try 2, 3 or 4

cdrecord and dd require a step before actually working, which is to create the .iso file.
If you don't want to create this iso file, I would try XCDRoast, it works fine for me, when I want to copy CD's.
If I do want to simply copy files from my disk, I will create a .iso file and use cdrecord.

XCDroast doesn't recognize my DVD rom, it can just recognize my cd burner

but u can play cds with my dvd rom
i wonder i how can i configure such that it will recognize my dvd rom in XCDroast

I'd recommend just trying cdrecord directly before using a gui. Cdrecord comes with a program called "readcd" for creating iso images. Do "readcd -help" for instructions. If you want to copy a disc "on the fly" you can create a fifo (use the mkfifo command) and use that to pipe data directly from readcd to cdrecord.
