You can't create an .iso for an audio CD, as an audio CD doesn't contain a filesystem.
Normally you would use bin and cue files to create audio CDs.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I was really hoping to get an exact copy since it is already in the cd dstabase. I have also noticed that Pcd doesn't recognize the cd text on the master however VLC does. I am wondering if perhaps K3b might do an exact copy?

I will do a bit more research before I give up on the master copy.

ISO master wikki site (in German) says that it reads NRG
---> Nero's format

After extensive research it appears that I can only do this with Nero. I think my best bet at this point is to remaster the album and re-submit it to all the databases.

I may make one last attempt to boot the old win machine and see if I can save it as an iso from there. it is (in theory) possible to do this with the original program.

Next step is the lightscribe label. ;)
Thanks for the help :)

Once again, you can't save an audio cd as an iso because it doesn't have a filesystem. It is not possible "in theory", so neither is it in practice.

Hi Zigbert - I am having a problem trying to copy an audio CD "on-the-fly" from my laptops inbuilt drive (SR0) to an external usb drive (SR1). It looks as if pBurn should handle this but unfortunately it fails.
I have tried pBurn 4.0.5 and also 4.3.16
(The system has no problems with either drive - I can use pBurn and Peasy disc tools to read and write to/from both drives ok)

EDIT : I should have mentioned that I am using a Slacko 5.6 derivative on the following laptops:
- Acer 5720Z of Windows Vista vintage (2GB ram)
- Toshiba M700 of similar age, also with 2GB ram.

Here is what I do:
- select "copy audio cd"
- Tick "On-the-fly"
- Set "burner device" to SR1 and "input device" to SR0

The error I get is shown in the text below.

After the error appears I checked for the ".inf" file mentioned in the error text but I see no files in the /root/my-documents/tmp/pburn_symlink_tree directory.

Do you have any ideas please?

To greengeek...

I would never try what you have done.
I would rip the CD first to obtain the music files, then burn.

Hi Don - is there any reason why you would not do an on-the-fly copy? Pburn offers the option and I suspect that modern hardware has sufficient processing power and I/O throughput to make it successful (in theory anyway).

The devices are not sharing a common IDE bus so I suspect that there should be no choke point other than cpu and ram?

I used to do this probably 10 years ago on a Windows box so if it can be made functional on Linux I am keen to give it a go.

The error message I am seeing makes it seem like a configuration / scripting problem rather than a real failure or bandwidth issue of some kind.

is there any reason
When you say 'on the fly' -->
mksifos & cdrecord together (piping)

The output of mkisofs can also be piped to cdrecord to burn "on the fly". This means that there is no actual iso image generated, but that the iso being created is written directly to CD.
Advantages:

Faster (for a single burn) ~ mkisofs writes it's images faster than cdrecord can burn, meaning the only time taken is the time it takes to burn, and not write an image and then burn.
Saves temporary space. If you have 650MB's of data waiting to be burned, and ISO image will also require 650MB's, meaning you have to have that amount of free space to burn.

Disadvantages:

buffering an image and burning is more intensive than just burning itself. This can lead to buffer-underruns meaning a coaster instead of a nice new CD.

CDRECORD has the ability to
burn the whole audio CD as one file or each song individually,
but it expects the song to be available as a file on your hard disk.

CDParanoia can be used first as explained here..

I have only one burner device, so can't test this...
from cdda2wav.de:
Q: How can I burn audio cds with cdda2wav and cdrecord on-the-fly?
A: This has not been tested very well, so caveat emptor. It is possible to use cdda2wav and cdrecord with pipes, but there are several issues.

The cd drive may become too slow to keep cdrecords buffer happy, when a scratch on the audio cd is encountered, and several retries take place.
Currently there is no way to carry individual track information from cdda2wav to cdrecord. Several information bits are available very late but are needed in advance from cdrecord.
Some operating systems have limitations in multiple SCSI accesses and other ressources (shared memory). cdda2wav and cdrecord may block each other, or might fight over limited ressources.

For these reasons it is not recommended to burn on-the-fly with cdda2wav.
Either this option should be removed, or someone are able to offer the correct command... There is obviously something weird, as cdrecord is looking for a *.inf file (greengeek's log), and I can't see the logic ??? in such files when burning on-the-fly.

The command is built in /usr/local/pburn/func_build_command, line 70.

@greengeek: A little googling suggests the following script for cloning an audio CD from /dev/sr0 to /dev/sr1:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp
mkdir -p clone-audio-cd
cd clone-audio-cd
rm -f *.inf
cdda2wav -D /dev/sr0 -vall cddb=0 -info-only
cdda2wav -D /dev/sr0 -no-infofile -B -Oraw - | cdrecord dev=/dev/sr1 driveropts=burnfree -speed=nn -v -dao -audio \ -useinfo -text *.inf
One suggestion is to set "-speed=nn" of the output drive to a lower speed than that of the input drive.

I ran a few tests from an internal CD to an external USB drive and it worked.

Thanks rcrsn51. I just tried that with speed set to different values (1, 2, 4) but without success. Results as follows:

I think I'm almost there now - it seems that the space needs to be removed from before -useinfo.

I just burnt a CD with the following modification to the burn line:

Code: Select all

cdda2wav -D /dev/sr0 -no-infofile -B -Oraw - | cdrecord dev=6,0,0 driveropts=burnfree -v -dao -audio \-useinfo -text *.inf
- I changed dev=/dev/sr1 to dev=6,0,0
- Removed the space between the backslash and -useinfo.

The CD seems to be working but I haven't listened all the way through every track yet. The terminal output suggests that the buffers ran down to zero quite a bit so there may be defects. I need to add the speed spec back in for next trials.

Tried it again with speed=2 and it did seem to improve the buffer fill situation ("cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty") as follows:

Code: Select all

....

Average write speed  10.0x.
Min drive buffer fill was 69%

I am not sure if the speed specification actually worked as expected though as it still shows "Average write speed 10.0x."
Don't really understand that.
Testing was done on a Toshiba M700 2GB T7250 @ 2GHZ dual core centrino pro laptop.
I will try to test this on a slower machine when I can.

Just to be clear, the last line of the script is a continuation of the second-last line. Remove the back-slash.

I suspect that the burn speed should be a little slower than the read speed. Making it a lot slower may cause other problems. Unlike many Puppy users, I rarely set a burn speed - I let the drive pick its own.

There are good reasons why on-the-fly cloning is not recommended.

PBurn - problems with Copy/Shrink Video DVD option

#2276 Post by mow9902 »

I am using
(a) tahrpup 6.02.
(b) pBurn 4.3.16

I am trying to copy a DVD video.
I can successfully use the "Burn Video" option and create a working DVD - but I cannot get the "Copy/Shrink Video DVD" option to work. I confess I might not understand how to use it - but have tried my best by reading the help.

Can someone please help explain:
(a) when it is appropriate to use this option
(b) how it differs from the "Burn Video" option
(c) how to correctly use it
(d) why my jobs are failing.

Thanks in anticipation.

I am using temporary storage on a USB connected NTFS formatted drive.

If I choose the first option ie "Copy the complete DVD" - it fails trying to write the file into temporary storage:
[Error] Creating of directory /mnt/WD_USB/tempburn/pburn-DVD/WHITE_CRANE_QI_
failed!

If I choose the second option ie "Copy only the movie" - in the 'exec_preburn' function:
/root/.pburn/tmp/exec_preburn: line 2: 30471 Floating point exceptionvobcopy -i /dev/sr1 -n 1 -t the_video_you_wanted -o "/mnt/WD_USB/tempburn" -v -l -f
mv: cannot stat ‘/mnt/WD_USB/tempburn/the_video_you_wanted1.vob’: No such file or directory
du: cannot access ‘/mnt/WD_USB/tempburn/WHITE_CRANE_QI_1.vob’: No such file or directory
(standard_in) 1: syntax error

How to covert pBurn 4.3.16 to a .deb-file

#2278 Post by .petto.deb »

Hi, after not being able to write or rewrite ANY cd,s or dvd,s at all in my Sun Ultra 40-machine with Linux Mint,Debian or Open Suse I tried to dio it with Slacko and succeded!!!
8 times without a flaw, using the same dvd,s and cd,s I couldnt use in K3b, Brasero xfburn etc.
pBurn worked!!!
Hallelujah!
BUT....Is there a way to use pBurn in Linux mint or Debian?
Or can I somehow convert the .pet file to a .deb file?
I tried Alien to no avail.
What backend does Slacko pBurn use?

ONE dvd was burned OK with flburn. An ISO.
Then I tried to burn mp3;s to two kind of cd-r,s TDK and a cheaper variant.
7 times I tried again to no avail.
The dvd-drive is newly bought on ebay(when I suddenly couldnt burn anymore, about two months ago I bought a refurbished one cause I thought the old one had died).
The cable (pata) is new.
Can it really be something on the mainboard that broke?
It used to work like a charm with different operating systems.
Ideas?
