About any CD, DVD, or BD recorder produced in the recent ten years.
<BR>
<A HREF="http://libburnia-project.org">libburn</A>
supports recorders which are compliant to standards MMC-1 for CD and
2010-06-11 10:53:56 +00:00
MMC-5 for DVD or BD. Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris allow to access drives
connected via SCSI, PATA (aka IDE, ATA), USB, or SATA.

<DT>The most common options of cdrecord for data and audio on CD media
are provided in a compatible way.<BR>
On all DVD media, cdrskin is able to perform any recording job
2007-05-29 16:27:25 +00:00
which is possible with cdrecord.
2008-05-17 12:05:36 +00:00
Other than with cdrecord, option -multi is supported with many DVD types and
BD-R. Write mode -tao works with anything but quickly blanked DVD-RW and
DVD-R DL, which both support no -multi.

Newer Linux distros enable rw-access for the desktop user automatically.
So try as normal user whether all your drives are found.
CD devices which offer no rw-permission will stay invisible.

<CENTER><H3>About the relationship of cdrecord and cdrskin</H3></CENTER>
First of all: this relationship is single sided, as cdrskin has to be aware of
cdrecord but not vice versa.
<BR>
<BR>
2011-08-08 12:20:01 +00:00
I was a long time user of cdrecord and it worked fine for me.
2006-08-21 08:25:32 +00:00
Especially i do appreciate its write mode -tao which allows to pipe arbitrary
data on CD and CD-RW via stdin. cdrecord is reliable, versatile and well
2011-08-08 12:20:01 +00:00
maintained. So for me - there would be no problem with using it for
burning CDs.
2006-08-21 08:25:32 +00:00
<BR>
But the author of cdrecord and the Linux kernel people foster a very hostile
relationship. Ok, that's their business, not mine (or ours if you are with me).
One has to be aware, though, that this relationship might lead to a situation
where cdrecord is no longer available for certain Linux kernels.
<BR>
To have my own project prepared for such a time, i began to implement its
cdrecord gestures on top of libburn.
From now on i invite other interested users of cdrecord to teach cdrskin
the gestures necessary for their cdrecord applications.
Contact me. Let's see what we can achieve.
<BR>
<BR>
libburn and cdrskin are now mature enough to substitute cdrecord in its
2007-03-12 15:58:19 +00:00
major use cases of CD and DVD burning. It is possible to foist cdrskin on
various software packages if it gets falsely named "cdrecord".
I do not encourage this approach, but of course such a replacement
opportunity is the goal of a cdrecord compatibility wrapper.
2006-08-21 08:25:32 +00:00
<BR>
<BR>
It is very important to me that this project is not perceived as hostile
towards Joerg Schilling and his ongoing work.
I owe him much. For cdrecord, for mkisofs, for star. Chapeau.
