cdrskin is a limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper which allows to use
most of the libburn features from the command line.
Currently it is supported on GNU/Linux with kernels >= 2.4,
on FreeBSD and on OpenSolaris.
IDE drives under Linux 2.4. need kernel module ide-scsi.
ATA and SATA drives under FreeBSD need kernel module atapicam.
On other X/Open compliant systems there will only be emulated drives, but no
direct MMC operation on real CD/DVD/BD drives.
By using this software you agree to the disclaimer at the end of this text
"This software is provided as is. There is no warranty implied and ..."
Compilation, First Glimpse, Installation
Obtain cdrskin-0.8.1.tar.gz, take it to a directory of your choice and do:
tar xzf cdrskin-0.8.1.tar.gz
cd cdrskin-0.8.1
Within that directory execute:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
This will already produce a cdrskin binary. But it will be necessary to
install libburn in order to use this binary.
In order to surely get a standalone binary, execute
cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh
Version identification and help texts available afterwards:
cdrskin/cdrskin -version
cdrskin/cdrskin --help
cdrskin/cdrskin -help
man cdrskin/cdrskin.1
Install (eventually as superuser) cdrskin to a directory where it can be found:
The command for global installation of both, libburn and cdrskin is
make install
If the library libburn.so.4 is not found with a test run of cdrskin, then
try whether command
ldconfig
makes it accessible. With the statically linked binary this should not matter.
With that static binary you may as well do the few necessary actions manually.
If cdrskin was already installed by a previous version, or by "make install"
in the course of this installation, then find out where:
which cdrskin
Copy your standalone binary to exactly the address which you get as reply.
E.g.:
cp cdrskin/cdrskin /usr/bin/cdrskin
Check the version timestamps of the globally installed binary
cdrskin -version
It is not necessary for the standalone cdrskin binary to have libburn
installed, since it incorporates the necessary libburn parts at compile time.
It will not collide with an installed version of libburn either.
But libpthread must be installed on the system and glibc has to match. (See
below for a way to create a totally static linked binary.)
To install the man page, you may do: echo $MANPATH and choose one of the
listed directories to copy the man-page under its ./man1 directory. Like:
cp cdrskin/cdrskin.1 /usr/share/man/man1/cdrskin.1
Note: The content of the cdrskin tarball is essentially the complete libburn
of the same version number. You may thus perform above steps in a local
SVN copy of libburn or in a unpacked libburn tarball as well.
Usage
The user of cdrskin needs rw-permission for the CD burner device.
A list of rw-accessible drives can be obtained by
cdrskin --devices
CD devices which offer no rw-permission are invisible to normal users.
The superuser should be able to see any usable drive and then set the
permissions as needed. If this hangs then there is a drive with
unexpected problems (locked, busy, broken, whatever). You might have to
guess the address of your (non-broken) burner by other means, then.
On Linux 2.4 this would be some /dev/sgN and on 2.6. some /dev/srM or /dev/hdX.
The output of cdrskin --devices might look like
0 dev='/dev/sr0' rwrwr- : '_NEC' 'DVD_RW ND-4570A'
1 dev='/dev/sr1' rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GSA-4082B'
On Linux, full and insecure enabling of both for everybody would look like
chmod a+rw /dev/sr0 /dev/hda
This is equivalent to the traditional setup chmod a+x,u+s cdrecord.
On FreeBSD, device permissions are to be set in /etc/devfs.rules.
On Solaris, pfexec privileges may be restricted to "base,sys_devices".
See below "System Dependend Drive Permission Examples".
I strongly discourage to run cdrskin with setuid root or via sudo !
It is not checked for the necessary degree of hacker safety.
Better consider to grant the necessary permissions to group "floppy"
and to add users to it.
A behavioral conflict is known between any burn software and demons like hald
which probe CD drives. This can spoil burn runs for CD-R or CD-RW.
You may have to keep your hald away from the drive. See for example
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html
Helpful with Linux kernel 2.4 is a special SCSI feature:
It is possible to address a scsi(-emulated) drive via associated device files
which are not listed by option --devices but point to the same SCSI addresses
as listed device files. This addressing via e.g. /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd1 is
compatible with generic read programs like dd and with write program growisofs.
For finding /dev/sg1 from /dev/sr0, the program needs rw-access to both files.
Usage examples
For options and recordable media classes see
man 1 cdrskin
Get an overview of cdrecord style addresses of available devices
cdrskin -scanbus
cdrskin dev=ATA -scanbus
cdrskin --devices
Adresses reported with dev=ATA need prefix "ATA:". Address examples:
dev=0,1,0 dev=ATA:1,0,0 dev=/dev/sg1 dev=/dev/hdc dev=/dev/sr0
See also "Drive Addressing" below.
Obtain some info about the drive
cdrskin dev=0,1,0 -checkdrive
Obtain some info about the drive and the inserted media
cdrskin dev=0,1,0 -atip -v -minfo
Prepare CD-RW or DVD-RW for re-use, DVD-RAM or BD-RE for first use
cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sg1 blank=as_needed -eject
Format DVD-RW to avoid need for blanking before re-use
cdrskin -v dev=0,1,0 blank=format_overwrite
De-format DVD-RW to make it capable of multi-session again
cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=deformat_sequential
Burn image file my_image.iso to media
cdrskin -v dev=0,1,0 speed=12 fs=8m driveropts=burnfree padsize=300k \
-eject my_image.iso
Write multi-session to the same CD , DVD-R[W] or DVD+R[/DL]
cdrskin dev=/dev/hdc padsize=300k -multi 1.iso
cdrskin dev=/dev/hdc padsize=300k -multi 2.iso
cdrskin dev=/dev/hdc padsize=300k -multi 3.iso
cdrskin dev=/dev/hdc padsize=300k 4.iso
Get multi-session info for option -C of program mkisofs:
c_values=$(cdrskin dev=/dev/hdc -msinfo 2>/dev/null)
mkisofs ... -C "$c_values" ...
Burn a compressed afio archive to media on-the-fly
find . | afio -oZ - | cdrskin -v dev=0,1,0 fs=32m speed=8 \
driveropts=burnfree padsize=300k -
Burn 6 audio tracks from files with different formats to CD (not to any DVD).
Anything except .wav or .au files has to be converted into raw format first.
See below "Audio CD" for specifications.
ogg123 -d raw -f track01.cd /path/to/track1.ogg
oggdec -R -o track02.cd /path/to/track2.ogg
lame --decode -t /path/to/track3.mp3 track03.cd
madplay -o raw:track04.cd /path/to/track4.mp3
mppdec --raw-le /path/to/track5.mpc track05.cd
cdrskin -v dev=0,1,0 blank=fast -eject speed=48 -sao \
-audio -swab track0[1-5].cd /path/to/track6.wav
Restrictions
Several advanced CD related options of cdrecord are still unsupported.
See output of command
cdrskin --list_ignored_options
If you have use cases for them, please report your wishes and expectations.
On the other hand, the capability of multi-session and of writing streams
of unpredicted lenght surpass the current DVD capabilities of cdrecord.
Inspiration and Standard
cdrskin combines the command line interface standard set by cdrecord with
libburn, which is a control software for optical drives according to standard
MMC-5. For particular CD legacy commands, standards MMC-3 and MMC-1 apply.
For the original meaning of cdrecord options see :
man cdrecord
(http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/man/cdrecord-2.0.html)
Do not bother Joerg Schilling with any cdrskin problems.
(Be cursed if you install cdrskin as "cdrecord" without clearly forwarding
this "don't bother Joerg" demand.)
cdrskin does not contain any bytes copied from cdrecord's sources. Many bytes
have been copied from the message output of cdrecord runs, though. I am
thankful to Joerg Schilling for every single one of them.
I have the hope that Joerg feels more flattered than annoyed by cdrskin.
Many thanks to Andy Polyakov for his dvd+rw-tools
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools
which provide me with examples and pointers into MMC specs for DVD writing.
Startup Files
If not --no_rc is the first argument then cdrskin attempts on startup to read
arguments from the following three files:
/etc/default/cdrskin
/etc/opt/cdrskin/rc
/etc/cdrskin/cdrskin.conf
$HOME/.cdrskinrc
The files are read in the sequence given above.
Each readable line is treated as one single argument. No extra blanks.
A first character '#' marks a comment, empty lines are ignored.
Example content of a startup file:
# This is the default device
dev=0,1,0
# Some more options
fifo_start_at=0
fs=16m
Audio CD
Lorenzo Taylor enabled option -audio in cdrskin (thanks !) and reports neat
results with audio data files which are :
headerless PCM (i.e. uncompressed)
44100 Hz sampling rate
16 bits per sample
stereo (2 channels)
little-endian byte order with option -swab, or big-endian without -swab
Files with name extension .wav get examined wether they are in Microsoft WAVE
format with above parameters and eventually get extracted by cdrskin itself.
In the same way files with name extension .au get examined wether they are
in SUN's audio format. For both formats, track format -audio and eventual
endianness option -swab are enabled automatically.
Any other formats are to be converted to format .wav with above parameters
or to be extracted as raw CD track data by commands like those given above
under "Usage examples". Those raw files need option -audio and in most cases
option -swab to mark them as little-endian/Intel/LSB-first 16-bit data.
Incorrect endianness setting results in random noise on CD.
I myself am not into audio. So libburn-hackers@pykix.org might be the
best address for suggestions, requests and bug reports.
DVD+RW , DVD-RAM , BD-RE
These random access media get treated as blank media regardless wether they
hold data or not. Options -audio and -multi are not allowed. Only one track
is allowed. -toc does not return information about the media content.
Speed is counted in DVD units (i.e. 1x = 1,385,000 bytes/second) or BD units
(1x = 4,495,625 bytes/second). Currently there is no difference between -sao
and -tao. If ever, then -tao will be the mode which preserves the current
behavior.
BD-RE media need formatting before first use. cdrskin option "blank=as_needed"
recognizes unformatted BD-RE and applies a lengthy formatting run.
During write operations DVD-RAM and BD-RE automatically apply Defect
Management. This usually slows them down to half nominal speed. If drive
and media produce flawless results anyway, then one can try to reach full
nominal speed by option "stream_recording=on".
In this case bad blocks are not detected during write and not even previously
known bad blocks are avoided. So you have to make your own readability tests
and go back to half speed as soon as the first read errors show up.
Instead of "on" one may also set a start address for stream recording.
Like "stream_recording=100m". This will write slowly to the first 100 MB of
the media and accelerate when writing to higher addresses.
Option --grow_overwriteable_iso allows -multi (although unneeded), enables
-msinfo and -toc, and makes blank=fast an invalidator for ISO filesystems
on overwriteable media.
Initial session (equivalent to growisofs -Z):
mkisofs ... | cdrskin --grow_overwriteable_iso blank=fast ...
Add-on session (equivalent to growisofs -M):
cparms=$(cdrskin dev=/dev/sr0 --grow_overwriteable_iso -msinfo)
mkisofs -C "$cparms" -M /dev/sr0 ... | \
cdrskin dev=/dev/sr0 --grow_overwriteable_iso ... -
DVD-RW and DVD-R
DVD-RW are usable if formatted to state "Restricted Overwrite" or if in state
"Sequential Recording". DVD-R are always in sequential state.
"Sequential" is the state of unused media and of media previously blanked
or written by cdrecord. dvd+rw-format -blank can also achieve this state.
The according cdrskin option is blank=deformat_sequential .
If "Incremental Streaming" is available, then sequential media are capable
of multi-session like CD-R[W]. (But not capable of -audio recording.)
This means they need option -multi to stay appendable, need to be blanked
to be writeable from start, return useable info with -toc and -msinfo,
eventually perform appending automatically.
Without Incremental Streaming offered by the drive, only write mode DAO is
available with sequential DVD-R[W]. It only works with blank media, allows only
one single track, no -multi, and demands a fixely predicted track size.
(growisofs uses it with DVD-R[W] if option -dvd-compat is given.)
Overwriteable DVD-RW behave much like DVD+RW. "Restricted" refers only to the
granularity of random access and block size which have always to be aligned to
full 32 kB. Sequential DVD-RW are converted into overwriteable DVD-RW by
cdrskin dev=... -v blank=format_overwrite
(Command dvd+rw-format -force can achieve Restricted Overwrite, too.)
Formatting or first use of freshly formatted DVD-RW can produce unusual noises
from the drive and last several minutes. Depending on mutual compatibility of
drive and media, formatting can yield unusable media. It seems that those die
too on blanking by cdrecord, dvd+rw-format or cdrskin. Perils of DVD-RW.
There are three DVD-RW formatting variants with cdrskin currently:
blank=format_overwrite uses "DVD-RW Quick" formatting (MMC-type 15h)
and writes a first session of 128 MiB. This leads to media which are expandable
and random addressable by cdrskin.
blank=format_overwrite_quickest uses "DVD-RW Quick" formatting (type 15h) too,
but leaves the media in "intermediate" state. In the first session of writing
one may only write sequentially to such a DVD. After that, it gets random
addressable by cdrskin. DVD-ROM drives might show ill behavior with them.
blank=format_overwrite_full uses preferrably "Full Format" (type 00h).
This formatting lasts as long as writing a full DVD. It includes writing of
lead-out which is said to be good for DVD ROM compatibility.
De-formatting options are available to make overwriteable DVD-RW sequential:
blank=deformat_sequential performs thorough blanking of all states of DVD-RW.
blank=all and blank=fast perform the same thorough blanking, but refuse to do
this with overwriteable DVD-RW, thus preserving their formatting. The specs
allow minimal blanking but the resulting media on my drives offer no
Incremental Streaming afterwards. So blank=fast will do full blanking.
blank=deformat_sequential_quickest is faster but might yield DAO-only media.
DVD+R , DVD+R DL , BD-R
From the view of cdrskin they behave much like DVD-R. Each track gets wrapped
into an own session, though.
DVD+R DL appear as extra large DVD+R. cdrskin does not allow to set the address
of the layer break where a reading drive might show some delay while switching
between both media layers.
BD-R are sold unformatted blank. If used without initial formatting then the
drive is supposed to format them to maximum payload size with no Defect
Management (see also above with BD-RE).
If Defect Management is desired then BD-R need to be formatted before the
first attempt to write a session to them.
blank=format_if_needed will detect the situation and eventually apply
default sized Defect Management formatting.
blank=format_defectmgt_* will apply non-default parameters to formatting.
Emulated Drives
cdrskin can use filesystem objects as emulated drives. Regular files or block
devices appear similar to DVD-RAM. Other file types resemble blank DVD-R.
Necessary precondition is option --allow_emulated_drives which is not accepted
if cdrskin took another user identity because of the setuid bit of its access
permissions.
Addresses of emulated drives begin with prefix "stdio:". E.g.
dev=stdio:/tmp/my_pseudo_drive
For safety reasons the superuser is only allowed to use /dev/null as emulated
drive. See man page section FILES for a way to lift that ban.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special compilation variations
All following options of ./configure and cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh are
combinable. After runs of ./configure do as next:
make clean ; make
In some situations Linux may deliver a better write performance to drives if
the track input is read with O_DIRECT (see man 2 open). The API call
burn_os_open_track_src() and the input readers of cdrskin and libburn fifo
can be told to use this peculiar read mode by:
--enable-track-src-odirect
But often cdrskin option dvd_obs=64k will yield even better performance in
such a situation. 64k can be made default at compile time by
cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh -dvd_obs_64k
It can also be enabled at configure time by
./configure ... --enable-dvd-obs-64k ...
Alternatively the transport of SCSI commands can be done via libcdio-0.83.
You may install it and re-run libburn's ./configure with option
--enable-libcdio
You may get a (super fat) statically linked binary by :
cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh -static
if your system supports static linking, at all. This will not help with kernels
which do not properly support the necessary low-level interfaces chosen by
your compile-time libraries.
A size reduced but fully functional binary may be produced by
cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh -do_strip
An extra lean binary with reduced capabilities is created by
cdrskin/compile_cdrskin.sh -do_diet -do_strip
It will not read startup files, will abort on option dev_translation= ,
will not have a fifo buffer, and will not be able to put out help texts or
debugging messages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System Dependend Drive Permission Examples
Accessing the optical drives requires privileges which usually are granted
only to the superuser. Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris offer quite different
approaches for avoiding the need for unrestricted privileges.
---------------------
On all three systems:
---------------------
Add the authorized user of CD drives to group "floppy" in /etc/group.
If missing: create this group.
Changes to /etc/group often only affect new login sessions. So log out and in
before making the first tests.
---------
On Linux:
---------
Allow rw-access to the drives
chgrp floppy /dev/sr0 /dev/sr1
chmod g+rw /dev/sr0 /dev/sr1
It might be necessary to perform chgrp and chmod after each reboot or to
edit distro dependent device configuration files for permanent settings.
-----------
On FreeBSD:
-----------
On FreeBSD:
Edit /etc/devfs.rules and make sure to have these lines
[localrules=10]
add path 'acd*' mode 0664 group floppy
add path 'cd*' mode 0664 group floppy
add path 'pass*' mode 0664 group floppy
add path 'xpt*' mode 0664 group floppy
[localrules=5]
add path 'pass*' mode 0664 group floppy
add path 'cd*' mode 0664 group floppy
add path 'xpt*' mode 0664 group floppy
add path 'acd*' mode 0664 group floppy
Edit /etc/rc.conf and add the following line if missing
devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"
This gets into effect by reboot or by command
/etc/rc.d/devfs start
-----------
On Solaris:
-----------
Run cdrskin by
pfexec cdrskin ...arguments...
The following settings will make pfexec keep original UID and EUID and prevent
most superuser powers. Be aware that you still can manipulate all device files
if you have the file permissions for that.
Full root privileges for cdrskin can then be aquired only by command su.
Edit /etc/security/exec_attr and add this line to the other "Media Backup"
lines:
Media Backup:solaris:cmd:::/usr/local/bin/cdrskin:privs=basic,sys_devices
Edit /etc/user_attr and add profile "Media Backup" to the user's line:
thomas::::profiles=Media Backup,Primary Administrator;roles=root
See also man privileges, man exec_attr, man user_attr.
Then allow the group r-access to the drives
pfexec chgrp floppy /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s2
pfexec chmod g+r /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s2
The last two commands have to be executed after each boot. I do not know
the relevant device configuration files yet.

Don't blame me or other authors of libburn if anything goes wrong.
Actually, in case of severe trouble, nearly always the drive and the media
are the cause. Any mistake of the burn program is supposed to be caught
by the drive's firmware and to lead to mere misburns.
The worst mishaps which hit the author imposed the need to reboot the
system because of drives gnawing endlessly on ill media. Permanent hardware
damage did not occur in 3.5 years of development. But one never knows ...
