Command Line Recording (cdrecord)

**crazy01** · 04-21-2008

hi,

i've managed to burn an audio cd with the following command

cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=1,0,0 -dao -audio -swab *.wav

but i would like to be able to do a data disk. like photos and backups

any help would be much appreciated

how about creating an iso

Code:

mkisofs -o test.iso -Jrv -V test_disk /your/folder/

if you want to check the iso and make sure you don't burn a coaster

Code:

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 test.iso /mount_directory

and then burn the iso

Code:

cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,1,0 test.iso

man mkisofs
and
man cdrecord
for other options.
