CD's that use the SafeDisc protection are, for the most part, PC game CDs.
I like to have a backup of all my CDs just in case something happens.  The
problem is that if you try to make an image of one of these CDs using the
"dd" command it just fails.  I have not found a way to consistently generate
a 1:1 image of these CDs under Linux.  If I create an ISO image of the CD
using any of the various utilities under Windows, cdrecord has no problem
with it.

Subject: Re: CD Duplication

Are you referring to copying playstation and pc games reporting bloated file
sizes, etc.?  Something
like WinCDR..using .bin stuff.   I wouldn't know then....

But another comment is I only resort to EasyCD under Windoze when I want to
blow more than 5 cds at
once since I can specify multiple copies.  And I can be screwing around on
the other system while
it's burning and it pops out and just have to insert another cd after 10
mins and it'll continue
burning #2, #3, etc. 

Under linux why can't this (multiple copies) be added to cdrecord?  Is it
supermount, autofs or
magicdev or whatever are still not stable enough to automount cds?
