Re: DVD/DVD+RW?
See the homepage and look for cdrecord-prodvd; that is the version that supports DVD writing.
DVD/DVD+RW?
Any plans to support DVDRs or DVD+RWs?
creating a mac bootable cd
I have Yellowdog Linux installed on powermac G3. Im trying to create a bootable/live Linux CD that runs on a mac. Everything i have tried so far has failed.
This is the directory structure on my CD
/boot
/boot/yaboot
/boot/yaboot/ofboot.b
/boot/yaboot/yaboot.conf
/boot/yaboot/msg
/boot/yaboot/hfs.map

/boot/kernels/264dario/modules.tar.bz2
/boot/kernels/264dario/config
/boot/stages
/boot/stages/stage1.gz
/boot/stages/stage2.tar.bz2
This is my yaboot.conf file

device=cd:
default=Linux
message=/boot/yaboot/msg

Can anyone give me any ideas?

I made a mistake, I really need to hide the "image" folder from the ISO and Joliet filesystems. I only want the "image" folder in the HFS filesystem. Sorry about the confusion.

MKISOFS Hide Folder
I am creating a hybrid iso image, and am having alot of trouble getting a folder to appear on HFS and not appear on ISO. I need to hide the folder called "image" which is in a folder called "Temp" both of which are in a folder called "Hybrid" which contains MKISOFS.exe and cygwin1.dll. Here is what I tried:
mkisofs -hfs -r -joliet-long -relaxed-filenames -allow-lowercase -hide *.html -hide-joliet *.html -hide-hfs *.inf -hide-hfs *.EXE -V "Hybrid CD" -hfs-volid "Hybrid CD" -map map.txt -part -no-desktop -o Hybrid.iso -path-list Hybrid.txt -graft-points -hide image -hide-joliet image
This hides everything listed (html on iso, rr and joliet, and inf/exe on hfs) but it doesn't hide the folder called "image" from the hfs filesystem. Please help. Thanks alot.

readcd Input/output error on MacOSX 10.4
Hi,
I have installed cdrtools 2.01 on my iBook under MacOSX 10.4.1 (Darwin 8.1.0), using "IODVDServices" as the device (specified in the '/private/etc/default/cdrecord' file). cdrecord successfully checks the combo-drive, but readcd fails to read an Audio-CD, coming up with an Input/output error:

Is this a problem with MacOSX 10.4 or with the MATSHITA CW-8124 drive?

Re: A really useful program
Definetely cdrecord is a very good and stable program. If you or the so called linux distributions (RedHat, Suse and etc) falter in compiling and packaging the software, it's definetly not the fault of cdrecord / cdrtools author - Jorg Schilling. Don't piss him or criticize him without an ounce of sense. Have you ever read the whole documentation of cdrecord before compiling? Nah. It's true linux kernel scsi interface changes now and then. But it's not jorg fault for cdrtools not working with the new unsupported kernel. It's your or distributors fault for building cdrtools with unsupported kernel. If you want a free dvd burning solution go for it; you are free man. It doesn't means you would point finger at Jorg. May be Jorg shouldn't even read or post in forums where people don't know a single thing and think they know everything. Self made bosses.
Re: A really useful program
Yes, there are alternatives to cdrtools. But that's not the point: one has to give credit where credit is due and Jörg Schilling (freshmeat.net/~schily/) made some nice contributions to OSS/FS with cdrtools being the most important one. Tom (www.very-clever.com/)

Yes, it does. Add "-driveropts=BURNFREE" to your command line to enable the drive's buffer underrun protection.
As an aside, if we (as a community) would stop with all the snide comments (like "RTFM!") and actually give helpful answers, we might actually encourage more people to join and support the community instead of running folks off with such a nasty attitude. (This is aimed squarely at the software's author who posted a reply to the parent post here -- dude, *you* don't have to offer "newbie" support for your application but you surely don't have to throw out snide remarks like that one when someone dares to ask a basic question...)

New user..
Can't record new files on a cd.. Anyway, looks like a great site. Interested in editing music files when I have time.
