Ok, I have *a* particular file that is consistently corrupted by it;
I have some other files that work ok. Unfortunately my test file is
copyrighted.
But I'll try to dig up a file that I can legally post as a sample that
is consistently corrupted and maybe we can see if anybody else sees the
same behavior. I will also try playing with the loopback device in
order to isolate whether it's cdrecord or mkisofs that is causing the
trouble. But having made a dozen coasters with the MDK-supplied
programs, and perfectly fine results with the scdbackup-supplied
programs, there's definately *something* going on.
The mkisofs that works is 1.12b3 (based on the "-v" flag)
the cdrecord is 1.53 (based on the "strings" info).
PS: . . .and once again a reply that I meant for one person went to the
list; I'd meant to send my earlier cdrecord-related post to just Mr.
Baudens. Sorry, once again.
