To copy svcds (and vcds) the procedure is different, as outlined below: 1. mkdir limpio 2. cd limpio, then put the svcd in the dvdwriter bay. 3. cdrdao read-cd --paranoia-mode 2 --read-raw --driver generic-mmc --device ATAPI:0,1,0 data.toc 4. umount if needed, remove the original svcd from the bay. 5. put a clean CD in the bay 6. cdrdao write --device ATAPI:0,1,0 --driver generic-mmc --overburn --eject data.toc Good luck
