i recently bought a cd writing drive, and found that cdrdao has many
advantages over cdrecord, specially in writing video cd images created
from mpg files. however, i can't make a cd-to-cd copy with the
"--source-device" option pointing to the cdrom drive, because cdrdao
insists on (i think) a scsi cdrom drive. am i reading this correctly? is
it possible to copy directly from a normal ide/atapi cdrom drive using
cdrdao (or using cdrecord for that matter)? if anyone has done this,
please give me the command line for it. the command line i used was:

(line may scroll; please consider single-line)

<snip>

cdrdao copy -n --source-device /dev/hdc --device /dev/scd0 --driver
generic-mmc --on-the-fly --speed 8

</snip>


and here is what cdrdao says (relevant portions):


<snip>

Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'

/dev/scd0: HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B     Rev: 1.06
Using driver: Generic SCSI-3/MMC - Version 1.2 (options 0x0000)

ERROR: /dev/hdc: Need a filename that resolves to a SCSI device.
ERROR: Cannot open SCSI device '/dev/hdc': Cannot open '/dev/hdc'
ERROR: Cannot setup source device /dev/hdc.

</snip>


/dev/hdc is, of course, my cdrom drive.

what do you think guys?
