Re: Adding MD5 to Image...

2004-08-13 Thread Ashish Rangole
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

Re: cdrecord-ProDVD key expired?

2004-05-03 Thread Ashish Rangole
Once again, what's the procedure for getting a *real* (non-expiring) key? We'd be willing to buy one for our organization if necessary. 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. I

write verification when using growisofs

2004-03-25 Thread Ashish Rangole
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.

Multi Volume CD/DVDs

2004-03-18 Thread Ashish Rangole
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

Extracting file system from an iso image

2003-10-15 Thread Ashish Rangole
Once I have read an ISO9660 image with or without Joliet/Rockridge extns, is there a way to simply extract files, directory sturcture from it (analogous to tar extraction), without actually mounting the iso image? Is there a utility to do this? I shall really appreciate your response. Thanks

Thanks for the response. However, isodump seems to be an interactive utility and not something that you could just call from another script/executable running in background. If it can be, then I would like to know how? Thanks Ashish On Wed, 2003-10-15 at 18:05, Volker Kuhlmann wrote: Once I

Using readcd to read 3rd party discs

2003-10-09 Thread Ashish Rangole
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
