Re: Adding MD5 to Image...
Pardon me if I misunderstand you I wonder if it is possible to add the checksum of a file to the file itself. Because mkisofs creates iso image file, appending the md5 sum to the image defeats the purpose of having a checksum (unless you want to strip out the md5sum info from the image before calculating its md5sum). Having said that it, may be feasible to add it to cdrecord etc. Ashish Mike 'Fox' Morrey wrote: Hey guys.. How hard would it be to have MKISOFS add a line after creating an image that had the MD5 sum for that image? i.e. Something like: Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 268578 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 1dc784 ISO Chksum: a69def10...190F5 2290963 extents written (4474 Mb) (I've seen a few(?) patches to have MKISOFS read/write individual files IN the image against MD5's, but nothing for the whole image..) Only reason I ask is that alot of dist's are given with MD5's.. Currently I have to create the iso (split-output) twice, first time to the files, second time piping it to md5sum. I know enough 'C' to see where it writes to the file, but not enough to even try and mess with it. :) Ideas? Thanks!

Re: Check / verify and test quality of burned CD/DVD's
I usually calculate the md5sum of the iso image before writing it to the disc. After successful write I use readcd to read the iso image back, calculate its md5sum and compare.

In order to get a permanent key one has to request Joerg Schilling, the author. I would also like to have a key for cdrecord-ProDVD for Linux system.

Joerg, I wonder if you can respond to this, letting people know about your policy of entertaining the requests for such permanent keys and the procedure.

write verification when using growisofs
In order to do a verifiable write when using cdrecord I follow this sequence: 1. I first create the iso image of the data on the disk and calculate its checksum. Then I write the iso image to the CD and delete the iso image from disk. 2. Using readcd I read the iso image back from the CD 3. Calculate the checksum of this iso image 4. For verification, I compare the two checksums I am new to growisofs and understand that it does not write intermediate iso image to disk but rather directly to DVD. If I have to write ,say DVD-R, with incremental writes what is the mechanism by which I can do the verification of each incremental write process. Can it be done in a manner equivalent to the one I described above or is there a better way? I shall really appreciate your response. Thanks in advance for your time and help. Ashish

Multi Volume CD/DVDs
Pardon my ignorance, but I would like to ask what is the commonly practiced method of creating multi-volume disks. That is, for instance I need to burn a directory that has files whose combined size is, say 12 GB. How would one go about creating multiple ISO9660 images from it and then burning them on CD/DVDs. Is there a way that these images can themselves keep track of information like their position in the sequence, total number of images that constitute the complete dataset etc. Also, what if the things are complicated by the existence of one or more files of size > 2GB. Is this a Linux only issue? Is this an issue on 64 bit SGI IRIX systems? I did read mkisofs man page but could not understand how exactly to get this done. Please advise. I shall really appreciate any response. Thanks in advance for your time and help. Ashish

CD/DVD writing on IRIX6.5
I have a SGI IRIX 6.5 system with external DVD writer capable of burning DVD+RW and DVD-RW media. This device is connected as SCSI device through a SCSI HBA. I would like to know what software is available if I want to :- 1. Write CD-R,DVD-R 2. Optionally also write DVD+R,DVD+RW, with incremental writes. I understand that there are tools available to do this on Linux but not so sure about IRIX 6.5. Any response shall be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and help. Ashish

Using readcd to read 3rd party discs
I guess this is a novice level question. I am planning to use readcd to read from a data CD/DVD. I understand that for discs written with "-dao" flag, readcd will read exact number of sectors, whereas for those written w/o "-dao" flag, readcd tries to read 2 sectors more than the actual data sectors causing readcd to fail. In order to avoid the error at the end of reading I think I should use "sectors=" option with readcd. For a disc that I haven't written and thus do not know how many sectors it has, how do I find that out? In other words, how do I know what value should I give to "sectors=" when I get a CD/DVD from a thirdparty which might or might not have been written with "-dao" option? Is there a better option than using readcd? Thanks in advance for your help Ashish

I understand that for discs written with "-dao" flag, readcd will read exact number of sectors, whereas for those written w/o "-dao" flag, readcd tries to read 2 sectors more than the actual data sectors causing readcd to fail. In order to avoid the error at the end of reading I think I should use "sectors=" option with readcd. For a disc that I haven't written and thus do not know how many sectors it has, how do I find that out? In other words, how do I know what value should I give to "sectors=" when I get a CD/DVD from a thirdparty which might or might not have been written with "-dao" option? Is there a better option than using readcd? Thanks in advance for your help Ashish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cdrecord-ProDVD license
All, I would like to know if Joerg Schilling does not give the commercial use license for cdrecord-proDVD anymore. Please let me know if anybody knows about this because it appears that for some reason I can't get in touch with Joerg at all on this. Thanks for your help.

cdrecord-proDVD ,linux and IEEE1394
All, I would like to know if anybody has tried burning CD/DVD in linux on a drive with IEEE1394(firewire) interface and if it has been tried with cdrecord-proDVD. I am thinking of using cdrecord-proDVD on Mandrake 9.0 and the burner is a Pioneer DVD A-04 with IDE to IEEE1394 convertor in front. I wish to know how IEEE1394 works on linux in general and with CD/DVD writers having IEEE1394 interface. Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
