I've been using cdrecord for Linux for years and been happy with the command line interface. Recently I got a DVD drive and now I can't find the right command line tool to burn ISO files onto the DVD. I tried cdrecord-ProDVD but it gives me a couple problems:

Code:


cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 -checkdrive

If I try to write an ISO file I've created I get:

Code:

cdrecord-ProDVD dev=ATA:1,0,0 -dummy -verbose speed=2 backup.iso
...

But the drive support TAO mode, if I try plain cdrecord I get:

So there appears to be a 1GB limit (the README file on the given ftp server claims that there is no such limit under linux) and cdrecord-ProDVD does not seem to understand that my drive support TAO. So wat is the recommended method of command line recording of DVD's?

Also a friend of mine (a window user) gave me a copy of his self-recorded snowboarding movies as a bin/cue file. How can I convert this into ISO format? I tried emerge bin2iso, but this seem to create separate ISO files for the various tracs. I would like to make a single ISO file to write a DVD.

Thanks, pegu

Thanks! growisofs did the job. I've seen the name before, but I did not guess that it could actuall recrod DVD's.

Now I'll only have to figure out how to convert cue/bin to iso...

I don't know about command line tools, but k3b burns those files directly.

I think k3b is based upon cdrdao, but does cdrdao write DVD's or just is it only CD-R's?
