I guess this is a novice level question. I am planning to use readcd to read from a data CD/DVD. I understand that for discs written with "-dao" flag, readcd will read exact number of sectors, whereas for those written w/o "-dao" flag, readcd tries to read 2 sectors more than the actual data sectors causing readcd to fail.
In order to avoid the error at the end of reading I think I should use "sectors=" option with readcd. For a disc that I haven't written and thus do not know how many sectors it has, how do I find that out? In other words, how do I know what value should I give to "sectors=" when I get a CD/DVD from a thirdparty which might or might not have been written with "-dao" option? Is there a better option than using readcd? Thanks in advance for your help Ashish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
