restricted overwrite and cd cloning

[Pablo Rodriguez <oinos@web.de>]

Hi there,

I have discovered that dvd+rw-tools (which I use through k3b) that I 
have the possibility to write the discs in restricted overwrite format. 
I'm not a technical guy and someone adviced it to me as a replacement 
for udf. What are the similarities and the differences between both?

I have bought a Spanish dictionary on cd-rom and I wanted to copy it to 
have a backup copy. The cd is copy protected, what is actually nonsense, 
since nothing can prevent installations from the original cd. To make 
this backup copy I used CloneCD (a Windoze program) succesfully. But in 
Linux readcd complains about a sector error in some sectors (when only 
2% is read). How can I clone this copy protected cd under Linux?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
