A quick rundown... - audio CDs are generated by writing WAV files directly to CD. The player reads them directly from the CD. You do not mount audio CDs. - to get regular files onto CDs in a readable form, you first need to create an ISO9660 filesystem image file, using mkisofs (man mkisofs). Then burn the image file to a CD. You can usually get away with piping output from mkisofs stdout to cdrecord stdin. - you need root privileges to properly use cdrecord; deal with it. If you're scared of logging in as root, you can use sudoers.conf to give a regular user permission to run specific command and parameters. I need root-level access in order to read system files for my bi-weekly backups, so cdrecord's need to be root was never an issue for me. Note; The following is all done as root (or root equivalent). The first thing you have to do is figure out your device numbers. *YOUR SYSTEM CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM MINE*, so read the instructions carefully. Execute the command "cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus". It can take a few seconds to scan the system. Ignore the warnings/disclaimers The important part is at the end. Here's that output for my system... 0,0,0 0) 'SONY' 'CD-RW CRX195E1 ' 'ZYS5' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'SONY' 'DVD-ROM DDU1621 ' 'S1.5' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * This indicates that my CD-RW is device 0,0,0. mkisofs creates an image of a specified directory, including subdirectories. Soft links do *NOT* work. To save time, and avoid cluttering up my drive with temp files, I pipe directly from mkisofs to cdrecord. I make a tar.bz2 of the files I want backed up, and move the file to directory "xfer". The following script does it all-in-one... #!/bin/sh mkisofs -R -J xfer | cdrecord speed=8 -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 - The "-R -J" parameters should result in mkisofs output that's readable by all linux and Windows machines. The cdrecord parameters are... speed=8 ...the burner on this machine can go up to 48x. But my emergency backup system is a 6-year-old Dell that can only read up to 12x. Oops. This parameter slows down the burner so that the older machine can read its output. -tao"track at once". This allows you to do multi-session CDs. -v I prefer some verbosity in the output. fs=8m The fifo buffer size. The default is 4 megabytes, but I specify 8 megabytes to play safe against under-runs. -data Straight out of the man page... -data is the default, if no other flag is present and the file does not appear to be of one of the well known audio file types. If neither -data nor -audio have been specified, cdrecord defaults to -audio for all filenames that end in .au or .wav and to -data for all other files. dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 This specifies the device. The 3 numbers can be found by running "cdrecord dev=ATAPI: -scanbus" - The hyphen at the end specifies to use stdin as the source file. You will get a standard warning from cdrecord, because it can't know ahead of time whether the piped input will fit onto the CD. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The system where I'm working on the cd-rw, does not have a man page for cdrecord. It has the exact same USE flags as that another system (including 'doc') has that does have the man page for cdrecord. I thought that if the USE flag 'doc' was in /etc/make.conf, then all man pages get installed So, pretty lame, but that's why I missed the cdrecord man page. I did not think there was one...

There's nothing wrong with the device *per se*, or with cdrecord, having now proved that it is capable of burning a file to CD (I assume the file was correctly burned, but with a file as small as a README, you're not going to get any noticeable buffer use) 2. The error that cdrecord was previously giving is to greater or lesser degree accurate-- *there's something wonky about the files you're trying to burn* I don't know what that might be, but it seems to me that one possible chain of logic is: a) no matter whether you use --audio or --data (or rename the file with a new extension), cdrecord detects the file as audio and automatically uses the --audio switch; b) cdrecord has requirements for the encoding of a file using --audio (as specified in man cdrecord, earlier quoted) c) your file, which must be burned with the --audio switch, does not meet the specifications that the --audio switch requires (as shown when you posted the file specs gleaned from mPlayer). The problem might be something else entirely, of course; this is just a theory. But since we don't know what the problem actually is (and I don't so much have the time atm to specify how to make sure all the components from the kernel to cdrecord to your file are all in proper working order), it's worth further investigation. On that note, three questions: 1) the USE flags for cdrtools are: on-the-fly-crypt - unicode - Adds support for Unicode crypt - Add support for encryption -- using mcrypt or gpg where applicable dvdr - Adds support for DVD writer hardware (e.g. in xcdroast) Which ones did you use?

Sannsynligvis vil du ha mer enn et spor på audio-CD’en, så det er bare å gjenta prosessen med andre filnavn (f.eks. track2.wav, track3.wav, etc.), og f.eks. kopier dem til en mappe ved navn ~/audiocd.

Choose not to remove the comments, there are more pages and it seems to be working.

Success, at least for what you were asking it to do, and that is to write a file named README onto a disk. Never mind that the disk doesn't have a filesystem and the README file is just a file and not a filesystem, just write it to the disk. Which it looks like it did just that.

OK, tried these commands on differernt audio files, one of which is called 'close.wav': cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -data -v close.wav and cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -data close.wav Both give the exact same error messages, as do using these commands with lots of different files. also, file close.wav says: file close.wav close.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 22050 Hz So I changed the file to 'close.txt' and ran cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -data close.txt Interesting results: cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults. cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Maybe you can tell me to download a specific file that you know should write to the cd-rw and I'll try a (short) file that should write. The exact command line syntax to see of this drive will work with the linux drivers would be a good idea, as I have not found detailed documentation on cdrecord.. Other ideas???

The track should be a multiple of 2352 bytes. It is not possible to put the master image of an audio track on a raw disk because data will be read in multiple of 2352 bytes during the recording process. If a filename ends in .au or .wav the file is considered to be a structured audio data file. Cdrecord assumes that the file in this case is a Sun audio file or a Microsoft .WAV file and extracts the audio data from the files by skipping over the non-audio header information. In all other cases, cdrecord will only work correctly if the audio data stream does not have any header. Because many structured audio files do not have an integral number of blocks (1/75th second) in length, it is often necessary to specify the -pad option as well. cdrecord recognizes that audio data in a .WAV file is stored in Intel (little-endian) byte order, and will automatically byte-swap the data if the CD recorder requires big-endian data. _Cdrecord will reject any audio file that does not match the Red Book requirements of 16-bit stereo samples in PCM coding at 44100 samples/second._ Possibly your .wav file is in fact 'inappropriately encoded'?

yes i think you should try cdrecord from the command line with the verbose option turned on and see what happens. ( the option is -V).

It wrote out this file: /root/.kde3.3/share/config/k3bsetup2rc Which is: [Devices] TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2412=4234,4200,auto,auto device_search_path=/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd [External Programs] cdrdao default=/usr/bin/cdrdao cdrdao user parameters= cdrecord default=/usr/bin/cdrecord cdrecord user parameters= search path=/usr/bin/,/usr/local/bin/,/usr/sbin/,/usr/local/sbin/,/opt/schily/bin/,/sbin [General Settings] burning group=burning use burning group=false This look OK? I get the same results trying to burn 2 .wav files to the cd-rw... It runs but no progress with preparing write process (0%) or Overall progress (0%). It just hangs. I let it go a while but nothing happens. Then I quite and mount the cd manually as root... empty... ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I guess it's possible it's not support to be a cd rw, but that is not likely? Maybe it's crippled in firmware, because I do not run winblows on the portable? Dunno...

I'm using a brand new rw cd. I tried copying 2 .wav files to the cd. Here's the messages echoed to the K3b screen: Using cdrecored 2.1 Starting dao writing at 24x speed...

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: DVD-cd usage
Ok, you're right, it really does burn cds. So, you're still not able to burn them? Try erasing an RW or writting an RW (so you don't spent cds). You should be able to do that with k3b, unless you already have mounted the cd (the erase and burn operations don't need the drive mounted) but I suppose that would echo an error. You don't need anything special on your kernel to burn cds. At least I have nothing special on mine. K3b does it all for me.

(at least > considering the name, I may be wrong) Well, the last line from 'lshw' says it is a cd-rw That implies I should be able to write to the CD? The page:http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/ Index.asp?page=PCI&nav=ISH_PRS&model=SDR2412 tells me the drive has CD rw capabilities. Maybe I missed the correct driver in the kernel?
