What's the best way to copy CDs? I'd like to be able to do a straight copy from my DVD drive to my CDRW drive, but none of the burning apps I've tried (arson, k3b, cdbakeoven) have let me. I emailed k3b about it, and they said it's not possible. Is this true? So do you have to just copy the CD to a temporary file first and then burn it to a CD?

I would have thought "dd if=/dev/dvd of=/dev/cdrw" might work, or at least a similar operation using cdrdao or cdrecord and the proper burning tools.

Maybe you can try this =>
Code:
cdrdao copy --source-device 0,0 --device 1,0 --on-the-fly


Replace source-device and device by your own DVD Drive et CDRW Drive !
You can get this information with :
Code:
 cdrecord -scanbus


I think that some frontend like gcombust, gnome toaster, xcdroast... can purpose that but I didn't have try it !

Doesn't scanbus only give you SCSI devices? I'm not on my machine at the moment so I can't check, but I'm sure it does. Maybe I'm wrong!

I only have an IDE TEAC CDRW Drive, and with cdrecord -scanbus I get :
Code:
charli@gentoo:~$ cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'TEAC    ' 'CD-W524E        ' '1.0A' Removable CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *

        0,5,0     5) *

But I'm using SCSI emulation (normaly by default you too) !

arson has a tool to copy cd's, it will let you copy via a temp file or on the fly (i guess is the same command of the previous post but wih a gui)

OK, I worked it out... I added "hdd=ide-scsi" to my kernel options in GRUB, which meant that scanbus found it, and so burning apps could use it for copying, etc. etc.

Does anyone happen to know why copying can't currently be done between an ATAPI cd/dvd device and a SCSI emulated CD writer?

I'm not sure but I think that the last version of cdrecord has ATAPI native support. Search in gentoo forums, there is thread about it !

thanks for the information, but is there an interest to change from SCSI emulation to ATAPI native support ?
