DVD to DVD recorder through shell


Hello hello,

I have a small celeron 566mhz, 128mb ram, 4.1gig HDD, 16x DVD, 16x DVD-RW

MY mission:

I have a serial interface with 2 buttons, BURN and HALT

I already have slack installed at a minimal text level with cdrecord as well. I have scripts that make my serial buttons work.

I put my data dvd in the regular drive and a blank in the writer, press burn and shazam!

I have basic scription knowledge but have never used cdrecord at the shell and have no idea what command string to use to copy /dev/cdrom1 > /dev/cdrom2

Im trying to build this project cuz im cheep and my friends constantly ask for copies of my files and im sick on making an image then writing it...

Well any help is great, thanks!!

If you want to copy DVD to DVD, you want to use growisofs:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=/dev/hdc

In the example above, /dev/scd0 is the destination and /dev/hdc is the source.

Thanks,

Will that string make a 1:1 raw copy of the cd? I have mac/win encoded dvd's but if its just reading and copying bit-by-bit it shouldn't care.

I will give it a try 2night!!

Yes, that's basically what it's doing. Growisofs will treat the source as if it were an iso file, and burn the destination from that source.

I just read up on growisofs in the online man pages, will using a 700mb cd cause probelms or was growisofs just an add-on to mkisofs to support dvd features?
