sorry to answer so late. i wasn't reading mails. your syntax seems to be okay except you're specifying "--source-driver" twice. i didn't need to do that even once. i let cdrdao decide which driver to use. i can't figure out why your vcd-s aren't getting copied. this commandline works perfectly for me. perhaps one vcd was scratched or something. did you try with several? also, you might want to drop that "--on-the-fly" and increase "--speed" instead, say, to 24 (if the drive supports it). is faster for me, and less risk of wasted media. and if you add "--save" to the commandline, the common options will be saved to ~/.cdrdao, and you won't need to specify them again and again. - t. -- cogito, ergo es. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
