nope. like shanu says, it's a separate programme. and for certain tasks a much better one than cdrecord. > If you're trying to copy a vcd, tough luck, I *as yet* have not succeeded > and definitely not from lack of trying :( let me know if you do it. did it! i got the idea that maybe i should try to turn on the ide-scsi simulation not only for the cdrw (which i had already done), but for the cdrom too. i was doubtful, because i never saw this mentioned anywhere. i even wrote to the fellow who wrote cdrdao, but he hasn't replied yet. then shanu's suggestion confirmed my idea, and it turned out that that was the answer. added ide-scsi simulation for hdc(cdrom) in addition to hdd(cdrw) in lilo.conf and re-ran lilo. rebooted. i had a new scsi device! just a few minor changes to be made, including re-directing the symlink /dev/cdrom (needed for eject, cdp and mplayer in my case). cdrdao is working perfectly now, with cd-to-cd copy (any cd to any cd, including vcd-s) and everything else. follow the above steps and download cdrdao, and you'll be able to copy vcd-s. the commandline i now use for cd-to-cd copy is (will wrap): <snip> cdrdao copy -n --source-device /dev/scd0 --source-driver generic-mmc --device /dev/scd1 --driver generic-mmc --on-the-fly --speed 8 </snip> if you add the "--save" option to the above commandline, most important options like devices, drivers, speed etc. will be saved to ~/.cdrdao, and you won't need to mention them on subsequent uses. haven't needed to try out the multisession option yet. i heard there was an issue about cdrecord not being able to do it with the 2.4 series of kernels. resulting cd-s were bad or something. what about cdrdao? shanu, can it be done? i'll try if you say yes. - t. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
