pipe between mkisofs and cdrecord.

GNU/Linux kernel 2.6
Cdrecord-ProDVDClone 2.01

Hi:
I have dvd-video files under directory VIDEO_TS and want to make a dvd-video dvd with them. As my hd has no room for an image, I would like to know what would be a reliable cli that uses a pipe from mkisofs (with option -dvd-video I suppose) into cdrecord.

Some data:
Pentium Celeron @600MHz
320 MB RAM

Thanks for reading.

try growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video [folder with VIDEO_TS directory]

But I have no room in my hard disk for an image 7.5G big. That's why I need a pipe.

it grows it straight to the burner

Hi:
I want to issue the command ´growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc -dvd-video [MY BASE DIRECTORY]'. bUT I want to run it with the laser turned off (cdrecord option -dummy). How do I do? Thanks.

Have you tried using the "-use-the-force-luke=dummy" flag of growisofs?

Evo2?

I recommend making some room or using a buffer program to pipe it. I've had problems using even growisofs for on-the-fly burning, sometimes there is a buffer underrun and the DVD becomes a coaster.

Well then I'm extremly interested in knowing if there is some program, preferable free of charge, even if I have to compile it, for the purpose of fully testing the burner. And thanks for your post.

Well, here's an option that will increase the buffer size making a buffer underrun less likely:

Code:

growisofs -speed=4 -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:32m -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video /path/to/video_ts

adjust the speed as necessary (too high increases the chances of underrun), the buffer size can also be adjusted I think.

Thanks again for your kind generosity.

It's only way to get a reply when some time has passed by. But you're boss, of course.
