CDrecord and ISO's

IWhats the command to burn an ISO with cdrecord?

**Dolda2000** · 08-03-2003

Code:

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -data file.iso

hmm, i guess that might work, but i prefer:

Code:

cdrecord -v speed=XX dev=0,X,0 -eject filename.iso

* sub your speed for where the XX's are and also check your burner device # by typing cdrecord -scanbus.

it's on my guide, btw.

cdrecord? im unfamiliar. sounds like a terminal burner. is it good? does it come standard with most distros?

ahh cool. this one wont produce as many buffer underuns as k3b will it.....k3b isnt horible but i get about 3-5 wasted disks per 50 pack due to buffer underuns.

that depends on your burner and its technology and you computer hardware and the speed at which you burn, cdrecord is less risky tho, lack of a front end helps trim things down a bit

Most, if not all, GUI CD writing programs are just front-ends to cdrecord. I don't know about k3b, but gnome-toaster, x-cd-roast and the old KDE CD writing program (whatever it was called again) are.
Btw., the command I gave was just to be a bit generic, I usually use a lot more options. However, to make it really fast, just specify the defaults in /etc/cdrecord.conf. That's really the easiest way to do it, then you can basically just do this:

Code:

cdrecord filename.iso
