Subject: [newbie] Multisession with CDRecord?
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to make multi-session CD's with
CDrecord.
I use cdrecord 1.11a19 and tried burning with the -multi switch.
The program writes a new session, I can see that from the
entrypoint on the
CD-R/W. But after the burn I still only see the first session
that I burnt.
you first have to create an iso image with mkisofs
$ mkiso -o image.iso -J -R directory of files
this will create image.iso with the directory you specified as the root
directory
of the image file. the J option is for Joliet extensions and R is for
Rock-Ridge extendsion
enabled
now to burn that you do:
$ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -data -multi image.iso
to write the image.iso, ofcourse you need to specify your dev parameters
now to do a add a session to that cd you need to get the
start and end sector of the previous session on the cd like this:
$ cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -msinfo
this will return something like 0,51635
this gives the start and end point of the previous session.
first create the iso image to append to cd like this:
$ mkisofs -o image2.iso -R -J -C 0,51635 -M 0,0,0 directory
with the -C switch you enter the numbers return by the -msinfo option of
cdrecord
the -M switch tells mkisofs to merge this image with the image found on dev
0,0,0
and then you ready to burn that image to the cd like this:
$ cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -data -multi image2.iso
and that is it, now if i remeber everything right this should work
just check with the man pages.
hope this helps
