Re: cdrom burning problems

Hi,

i oversaw your attempt to do a single sweep
write.

Tuomas Jouhten :
> dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/hdc 

Linux 2.6 should do this with DVD-RAM and DVD+RW.
DVD-RW should work after being treated by
  dvd+rw-format -force /dev/hdc
or
  cdrskin -v dev=/dev/hdc blank=format_overwrite


The burn program gestures equivalent to above
dd command are:
  cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc -sao filename.iso
  wodim    -v dev=/dev/hdc -sao filename.iso
  cdrskin  -v dev=/dev/hdc      filename.iso
DVD only:
  growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=filename.iso

Afterwards the media is as write protected as
it can bei (some can't). Multi-session needs
other options and precautions.
See man pages of above programs.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
