cdrskin is a limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper which allows to use
|
|
most of the libburn features from the command line.
|
|
|
|
Currently it is only supported on Linux with kernels >= 2.4.
|
|
|
|
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-0.5.4.pl00.tar.gz, take it to a directory of your choice and do:
|
|
|
|
tar xzf cdrskin-0.5.4.pl00.tar.gz
|
|
cd cdrskin-0.5.4
|
|
|
|
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. Installation of libburn is
|
|
beyond the scope of cdrskin. For this, see included libburn docs.
|
|
|
|
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 statically 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'
|
|
|
|
So full and insecure enabling of both for everybody would look like
|
|
|
|
chmod a+rw /dev/sr0 /dev/sr1
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to the traditional setup chmod a+x,u+s cdrecord.
|
|
|
|
I strongly discourage to run cdrskin with setuid root or via sudo !
|
|
It is not checked for the necessary degree of hacker safety.
|
|
|
|
Consider to put all authorized users into group "floppy", to chgrp the
|
|
device file to that group and to disallow w-access to others.
|
|
|
|
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

|
|
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 and the inserted media
|
|
cdrskin dev=0,1,0 -atip -v
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 and DVD+R DL
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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.

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

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

does not suffice to fulfill a clear and neat request in open source
|
|
spirit that would otherwise be declined for mere formal reasons,
|
|
only in that case we will duely consider to issue a special license
|
|
covering only that special case.
|
