Hi, > I want to use cdrecord to burn a CD, > wodim: No write mode specified.
You are actually using the cdrecord fork of the cdrkit project, which is affiliated with Debian. Original cdrecord is available at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ Most recent is cdrtools-2.01.01a31.tar.gz But i would expect your problem is not about the differences of cdrecord and wodim. > cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 myimg.iso > wodim: Asuming -tao mode. > Identification : 'DVD-RAM GSA-H30N' > wodim: Drive does not support TAO recording. > wodim: Illegal write mode for this drive. Since you got a disk file as data source you may try write mode SAO by adding option -sao : cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 -sao myimg.iso (This will not work with data sources of unpredictable length like "-" or a named pipe) If this works, i would still like to recruit you for exploring any peculiarities of that LG GSA drive. I got my own burn program named cdrskin and it would be very interesting to find out wether the drive is really unable to perform TAO on a CD-R. If you are willing to help with testing then please post a message to this list, asking for instructions. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
