Notes:
- See this earlier hint and this tutorial for more info on these tools
- You have to tell the Finder to Ignore when it asks you what to do with the inserted CD-R
- If you get a cdrecord: Bad file descriptor error, try with cdrecord dev=IOCompactDiscServices -v -
% vi ~/bin/burndirThen insert this code:
mkisofs -R -J $1 | cdrecord dev=IODVDServices -v -Save it, quit the editor, make it exectuable (chmod +x ~/bin/burndir), and then you only need to type burndir FolderName/ to burn FolderName to CD-R in one step.
