<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 except DVD-R DL, cdrskin is able to perform any recording job
|
|
which is possible with cdrecord.
|
|
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.

<DT>
|
|
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>
|
|
I am a long time user of cdrecord and it works fine for me.
|
|
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
|
|
maintained. So for me - there would be no problem with it.
|
|
<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
|
|
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.
|
|
<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.
