cdrecord-ProDVD

2002-06-11 Thread Plamen Neykov

Hash: SHA1

Hi Guys,

I know it is a stupid question, but ... 
Do I still have to use cdrecord-prodvd to record DVD-R's or it is possible just to use 
the normal version of cdrecord?

Thanks

Re: Need help with cdrecord/rscsi

 Not possible because of UNIX restictition, but PLEASE RTFM for cdrecord.

Probably I didn't make myself clear here: I just found out that making
cdrecord suid root does infact work. It didn't orginally for me but that
was apparently due to a different problem. So, I'm a happy camper with
regards to this.

 o How can I use rscsi without having to have rshd running on the server=20
   machine?
 
 Impossible
 
 o Is there a way to use ssh instead of rsh?
 
 Why?
 
 ssh is way too slow for cd writing.

Hm...I think it depends. This is between the machines in question:

andree@aurich:~/downloads/kernelscp linux-2.2.17.tar.bz2 jever:
Password: 
linux-2.2.17.tar.bz2 100%
|| 13727 KB00:02

Between 2 and 3 seconds for 13+MB should be sufficient for CD writing
don't you think. Or is there a hidden latency problem somewhere?

A good reason to use ssh/sshd would be encryption of the datastream in
situations where you want to use it across a non-trusted net.

 If you have a ssh aware rcmd(3) implementation it should work.

I'll check that out, thanks! Would that give me encryption of the data?
I fear not, as rcmd is rcmd and doesn't come with encryption...

 Other questions:
 
 What is your opinion on http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-iscsi? I
 understand that this is only a client to access iSCSI services. Are you
 aware of any server iSCSI development for Linux? This would pretty much
 be what rscsi is doing, wouldn't it?
 
 The RSCSI idea is more than 5 years old and has been finally implemented short 
 before the ISCSI idea came up. If you believe that ISCSI makes sense, write
 a ISCSI transport implementaion for libscg and send it to me...
 
 I'm using SANE to access a remote scanner just as I'm trying to access a
 remote CD writer via cdrecord/rscsi. This prompts me to ask the question
 whether you've ever contemplated to turn cdrecord into a library just
 like the SANE folks did?
 
 Sorry, I contacted the SANE people many times to use my scsi trnaport 
 implementaion. They don't like it because their implementation is so InSANE
 that it is not possible to integrate a SCSI trabsport with a clean interface :-(

That is quite sad to hear as it sounds like triplication of effort. My
understanding is that iSCSI is an open (?) industry standard which can
be implemented by anyone. (Well, anyone that understands the matter, ie.
not me, so don't hold your breath... ;-) ) This to my mind gives it an
edge over rscsi and whatever SANE is doing.

I quite like the SANE approach as it doesn't require me to run rshd but
comes with its own custom-purpose daemon. This is purely from a user
perspective without any insight in the actual implementation of course.
 
What I really meant with my library question is this: In the SANE world
you have e.g. 

aurich:/usr/binldd xsane
libsane.so.1 = /usr/lib/libsane.so.1 (0x40014000)

In other words, the functionality is encapsulated in a library. Wouldn't
it be nice to have something like:

aurich:/usr/binldd gtoaster
libcdrecord.so.1 = /usr/lib/libcdrecord.so.1 (0x40014000)

I'd dare say that making the cdrecord functionality available as a
library should have a number of advantages over calling a separate
program. What is your opinion on this?

Best regards

Hello,

I think your problem is related to supermount and has no link to cdrecord 
and your cd-burner. Are you able to use 'ls' with a regular cd?

I can't help you with any supermount problem because it's one of the first 
thing I disable on my Mandrake machine. If it's a supermount problem you 
could send your question to http://www.mandrakeexpert.com (Mandrake 
support channel).

If you have pioneer DVDRW (A103,A104,103,104), you can use dvdrtools.
http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/dvdrtools/
It's an independent code fork of cdrtools.

Please don't be unfair...

This is not an independant fork of cdrtools!

It is rather an _unmaintained_ snapshot that uses an add on which 
most likely has been created by reverse engineering cdrecord-ProDVD.
Give me a better explanagtion why the hell the patch this beast is
related on appeard about a week after I announced my first test binary
and about two weeks after I put the binary on the server. Keeping in mind that
is is a 100 line patch and that the first binary test version of cdrecord-ProDVD
did not come with -V disabled...

In addition note that the author removed the tested and working
make file system and replaced it by some piece of junk that works
on Linux only by accident - it does not work on other OS!
It seems that this person did try to write own autoconf code from what
he did understand. Unfortunately it seems that he did not understand much :-(

Look at the web page and judge yourself. The first thing that comes into
mind is the 'pay' button. 

Writing portable code like cdrecord and make it work with all drives on
the market is a hard job. The person who claims that he is the author
of this project is somebody who is falsely taking all the credit  but
does not put own effort in development.

yes i'm using cdrecord... i could disable it

but i'm able to read ( using 'ls' ) my other cd's...
and could supermount interfere with the burning process?

because simply there's that .rr_moved folder which shouldn't be there...
