[Fink-users] Re: cdrecord -- anyone try with a Powerbook or external USB/Firewire?

[Michael Green]

Josh,

If this will be of any help, here are the lines I use to drive cdrecord and mkisofs with my external Firewire Yamaha burner:

to burn iso image:
cdrecord -v -speed 16 -eject dev=IOCompactDiscServices iso_file.iso

to overburn iso image (i.e. >700M):
cdrecord -v -overburn -dao -speed 16 -eject dev=IOCompactDiscServices iso_file.iso

to prepare Joliet compliant iso image from a directory:
mkisofs -J -R -V "name of the CD" -o output_file.iso somedirectory/

You can even build a pipe to pass an iso directly to cdrecord like this:
[michaelg@beastier ~/Desktop] ->mkisofs -R -J -V "Test CD" -print-size CarbonSoundUpdate.pkg/
Total extents scheduled to be written = 720
720
[michaelg@beastier ~/Desktop] ->mkisofs -R -J -V "Test CD" CarbonSoundUpdate.pkg/ | cdrecord -v -speed 16 -eject dev=IOCompactDiscServices -tsize=720s -
Cdrecord 1.11a40 (powerpc-apple-macosx6.2) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg ng
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
scsidev: 'IOCompactDiscServices'
devname: 'IOCompactDiscServices'

Also I wrote a short and stupid shell script to make a bunch of iso's from a directory full of AVI's.
Feel free to use it if you find this useful and only if you understand what it exactly does:
(I'm no shell scripting GURU so some may find my scripting technique or the whole idea a bit amusing :-))
