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? - t. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
