K3B and creating an .iso image from a CD?
Hi.
Is there any way to create an .iso image from an existing CD using K3B? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find a way to do so. Thanks. Richard |
Just to test I did this now and this is the output:
Code:
bruce@silas:~$ ls -alh /backup/ISO/k3bCdCopy0/ Tools > Copy CD > Options tab > Only create image Image tab > browse to your directory (mine was /backup/ISO/) and K3B added the k3bCdCopy0/ directory. A much more efficient way is through the command line: Code:

Thanks for the info Chinaman. how obvious it should have been!

I do notice that the CD I burned there has an additional track which is a video, so it
might not be what you want. I'm burning those .wav files to a CD right now using "root@silas:/backup/ISO/k3bCdCopy0# cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -audio *.wav" I know K3B will do the job, but I like the efficiency of command line. This is one of the first things that impressed me so much about Linux. After this one finishes, I'll burn another one with K3B that's only audio and see what happens with it. Hope I don't cause you to make a coaster, and that you'll try the command line interface. |
Actually I'm only trying to create an .iso of data files. I'll give it a try with K3B and if it doesn't work the way I want then I'll go to the command line.
Thanks. |
Try this:
Code:
mkisofs -r dir | gzip > cdrom.iso.gz |
