How to make the system to know my cd writer

[hlahlahtay]

Dear friends,
I'm linux newbie. I installed Red Hat Linux 9. I know only ms window. When I burn cd, it does nothing. How should I do?
When I use cdrecord, this information shows.

no, I try with this command, cdrecord --scanbusat that time, my cdwrite is 0,0,0. I forgot how to call. It starts with sci something like that.
Then I try with this command
cdrecord /home/mythein/*.mp3 when I try this command, it shows above message
If you know how to do, tell me exactly what should I do. When I read in linux bible, it tells many steps to do. I tried already. But I can't.

[sarumont]

What command did you use to generate that output? Also, post the output of cdrecord -scanbus

just a hunch.. but is the CD ur trying to write writeable.. from the error messages i see an incompatible device. try replacing the media. Aslo just to check try writing a CD as the root. Maybe there are some permission errors.

Hi Thank you. I already tried as a root. I have two os. I can use in window xp. But I can't in Linux.

I got a feeling, looking at you log there, that you might be specifiyng WHAT to write in the wrong way.

Firstly of all, you have a line that says "Input/Output Error", which indicates something like that. But what I find most interesting is the three lines below, which clearly indicate ( since no cd-writer of date can write in 999x) that the writer never actually writes anything.

"cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 240s
Writing time: 0.050s
Average write speed 999.0x. "


What options are you using when trying to write the cd. Post those and everything will be much easier.

Thanks. I want to give you. But It will be a little longer.
Starts from here.

I can't really say that I fully understand what you are trying to do...

just writing *.mp3 at the end will make it write those files as tracks on the disc....which will NOT make them playable...

My tips of the day:

1) If you want to make an mp3 disc, with a filesystem, do :
mkisofs -o Songs.iso Songs
cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 Songs.iso

This will put all the files in the directory Songs into an .iso file, which you then burn onto your disc, resulting in the disc looking exactly like the Songs directory.

2) If you want to burn the music tracks directly to the disc, like a normal audio-cd do ;
[ Create .wav files out of the mp3:s with some nice tool (don't know one myself) ]
cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 *.wav


Hopefully this will be helpful,
good luck

Forgot one thing :

try -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 if you have an ATAPI cd-rom, and not a SCSI

[sarumont]

And the -audio switch.

When I did this, I used lame to decode to wav and normalize to normalize (imagine that ) the tracks. Do this all in it's own dir. then run the cdrecord command to burn the disc.

Hi
This is the first time to burn cd. The most important thing is I want to burn data file to cd.


before I am doing this , I prepare in /etc/modules.conf

options ide-cd ignore=hdb # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdb
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
#pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm # uncomment for some ZIP drives only
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi



then As I have only one CD-RW drive

cd /dev && rm cdrom && ln -s scd0 cdrom
when it asked me that to remove link, I said yes.

then I burn CD using this
cdrecord speed=2 dev=0,0,0 perl.pl
like this
but still I can't .
I really want to know.
