Do you know of any program which will accept tar or cpio format as input and generates an ISO-9660 image for burning? I have a large box full of 4GB 4mm DAT tapes which should go on DVD, and they are in tar or cpio format. Currently the only option is to unpack them to disk and then create an image and burn it.
What I would like is: tar --> ISO --> ProDVD The cpio tapes are rooted, so they are a double pain, they try to unpack in / instead of "." as they should. This requires creative use of chroot... I considered using a DVD-RW and packet writing, but the documentation certainly gives the impression that this method is not ready for production use. Additional info, I will almost certainly be paying someone by the hour rather than the tape to do this, so avoiding the unpacking and repacking process could really reduce the time it takes to do this!
