Re: cdrecord and multisession audio/data cd's?
Right, I meant to follow this up but never did.

cdrecord -scanbus strangeness?
Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question. I just downloaded cdrtools-2.01a20pre2 to try out its ATAPI support. (Linux 2.4's ide-scsi seems to be very broken.) I noticed the following: - cdrecord dev=help says bus scanning is supported for the ATAPI transport; - However, if I run cdrecord -scanbus, I just get Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a19 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. strace seems to indicate that cdrecord stopped scanning after it failed to open the /dev/pg files. It may be this is the intended behaviour, but somehow it feels wrong that it would not scan ATAPI because it can't open the pg devices. Is this a bug, or is there some special notation I need to use to tell cdrecord to scan the ATAPI bus? (This is basically a DIY distribution, but I remember this also happening on my Debian box at the office. So I am suspecting that this behaviour is not related to the OS.) Thanks.

Well, it seems that you make unproven assumptions on the quality of DVD+, so I believe that it is fair to tell people that in theory it would be possible to enhance DVD- firmware and hardware so partially formatted media may be adddressed ramdomly. >> Note that the kernel also first reads a 512 byte sector from a hard disk >> if you like to write only 64 bytes. >Yes. But as already implied, if you want to extend this to 32KB to >accomodate DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite, you have to modify kernel file >system driver. The question was "why is there random access possibility >for DVD+RW, but not for DVD-RW?" A. If you believe that the kernel filesystem driver needs to be modified, then you are taling about a broken OS. On a typical OS, the filesystem code talks to the block abstraction layer. This layer has been the buffer case on historic implementation and is the semgment driver layer + VM Cache in modern implementations. What you have to do is to change this layer to know that there may be 32 KB Blocks.

In order to make a recording that is as good as a real SAO recording (as you may have it e.g. with DVD-R) you need to be more acurate than the size of a single bit. I am sure that both, DVD+R and DVD-R are no better than approx. one byte. BTW: High frequency ADIP is not a grant for high positioning accuracy.

Well, it seems that you make unproven assumptions on the quality of DVD+, so I believe that it is fair to tell people that in theory it would be possible to enhance DVD- firmware and hardware so partially formatted media may be adddressed ramdomly. >> Note that the kernel also first reads a 512 byte sector from a hard disk >> if you like to write only 64 bytes. >Yes. But as already implied, if you want to extend this to 32KB to >accomodate DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite, you have to modify kernel file >system driver. The question was "why is there random access possibility >for DVD+RW, but not for DVD-RW?" A. If you believe that the kernel filesystem driver needs to be modified, then you are taling about a broken OS. On a typical OS, the filesystem code talks to the block abstraction layer. This layer has been the buffer case on historic implementation and is the semgment driver layer + VM Cache in modern implementations. What you have to do is to change this layer to know that there may be 32 KB Blocks.

In other words single >DVD+R recording mode is more than enough. A. Please don't repeat unproven statements. We did already discuss this and you never have been able to prove your claims. In order to make a recording that is as good as a real SAO recording (as you may have it e.g. with DVD-R) you need to be more acurate than the size of a single bit. I am sure that both, DVD+R and DVD-R are no better than approx. one byte. BTW: High frequency ADIP is not a grant for high positioning accuracy. Left alone, it would be much worse than the ADIP + Prepits in DVD-*. Only the fact that DVD+ uses phase shifts (as marks similar to the pre-pits) makes DVD+ usable Jörg -- EMail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED](uni) If you don't have iso-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED](work) chars I am J"org Schilling URL: http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/usr/schilling ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
