I did, but then encountered some difficulties when burning CD-RW on the fly via cdrecord's stdin : Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01b31 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J�rg Schilling Unlocked features: Limited features: ... cdrecord: Must specify track size(s). It ends with non-zero exit value. But it works when reading a file from disk rather than stdin. Next i set the CDR_SECURITY variable and shwoops my pipe did work. It is reproducible: unset CDR_SECURITY spoils it again. Is that restriction intended without CDR_SECURITY ? I cannot find anything about that in ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README Joerg > > The ProDVD binaries just behave the same as the > cdrecord compiled from the GPLd part of the source in case you > do not like to get more functionality than the GPLd source includes. Did i find a bug ? To prove i rtfm'ed : probably found some typos README.key : "private/nomcommercial" "A pepliy to the incoming mail is usually send once a week" README.clone: "then cdrecord will promise you a different write mode" Did you probably mean "propose" ? I did not test - but with "promise" this is a strange statement. Have a nice day :) Thomas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS: What i tried : -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 340036 Aug 20 20:21 cdrecord-prodvd-2.0.1-i586-pc-linux-gnu -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 372956 Aug 20 20:08 cdrecord-prodvd-2.01b31-i686-pc-linux-gnu Having a symbolic link from cdrecord to one of those binaries, i run : mkisofs ... | \ cdrecord -v speed=10 dev=0,0,0 \ padsize=300k fs=8m -eject driveropts=burnfree -data - with 2.01b31, option -tao makes no real difference. If i switch back to my selfmade binaries or the older SuSE ones, then it works again. When feeding cdrecord with a file from disk, then it works with cdrecord-ProDVD, too. I never heard of that message together with my software: "cdrecord: Must specify track size(s)." I interpret in man cdrecord option -tao (2.01a35) the absence of sentence "Note that cdrecord needs to know the size ..." in such a way that TAO is not supposed to demand that size. All alternatives to -tao seem to make this constraint (-sao , -raw , ...). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Failed runs : Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.0.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg Schilling Unlocked features: Limited features: TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25 Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' Driveropts: 'burnfree' atapi: 1Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info : 'HL-DT-ST' Identifikation : 'DVDRAM GSA-4082B' Revision : 'A201' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW. cdrecord: This version of cdrecord limits DVD-R/DVD-RW support to -dummy or 1 GB real. cdrecord: If you need full DVD-R/DVD-RW support, ask the Author for cdrecord-ProDVD.Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr).
