Re: How To Burn CDs
If you have the physical memory sure however if you don't then you will start swapping and most likely your cd recording will fail. Hence my recommendation for a small size buffer. And to the list. Please keep the comments or suggestions rolling and hopefully by early next we will have a nice "How To Burn CD " document.

To me in the context of cdrecord, cdrecord's option "fs" and team are about the same. Perhaps someone more familiar with cdrecord fifo.c's circular buffer algorithm and team can express a different opinion.

How To Burn CDs
This is a summary of the information that I gather over the last few days with respect to CD recorders. It appears that the preferred and better supported CD recorders are scsi . To shorten the gap what is needed is for ATAPI cd recorders to be integrated into CAM so that we may present a unified interface to both ATAPI and SCSI CD drives. Post on -hackers if you are interested in working on such a project. The rest of this document will deal with scsi cd recorders. Software Tools : cdrecord is used to burn the CDs . cdrecord http home: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdr ecord.htm cdrecord supports CD-R, CD-RW and Audio CD (Red Book) formants. cdda2wav which is now bundled with cdrecord can extract audio CD tracks. cdrecord is part of the ports/sysutils collection. toshais another scsi tool to extract CD audio tracks and it is in the ports/audio directory . tosha is native program to FreeBSD. tosha was written by Oliver Fromme [EMAIL PROTECTED] cdd another native freebsd program to extract CD audio tracks was written by Charles Henrich and is part of the ports/audio collection. mkisofs is used to create an iso 9660 cd image. It is located in the ports/sysutils collection If one of the audio "rippers" does not work report the problem after first making sure that the program does indeed support your CD disk unit and then just try another one.
