some problems
Authored by: huzzam on Feb 11, '04 10:35:52PM

I have a problem running the copycd script. I have an ibook/500 with combo drive, so I enabled the "IOCompactDiscServices" line & disabled the DVD one. It succeeded in unmounting the disk, but failed to rip the cd. If I change it back, it will rip ok.

Also: DID you install cdrdao using fink, or are you just mentioning fink for our convenience? The version I have (installed via fink) seems to want a slightly different syntax, as it complains "Expecting only one toc-file" if I specify both the toc & bin files on the command line. If I specify just the toc, it runs, and dumps all the binary data into "data.bin", which I'll just rename appropriately after ripping.

I'm about to try burning... I'll let you know if that fails.

Actually at the last minute I decided that I shouldn't rename "data.bin" before burning, and it looks like I was right. Seems the toc file knows the name of the data file....

So to get the script working for me, I had to keep the IODVDServices line, and remove "$1.bin" from the command towards the end of the script, leaving:

sudo cdrdao read-cd --device $DEVICE --driver $DRIVER --read-raw $1.toc
