Actual ATAPI burning

you don't need the scsi-modules to write a cd
if you have an atapi cd writer then do the following

Split from CD burning for dummies (SCSI Emulation - Standard Method) which was formerly known as ATAPI burning for dummies, but actually wasn't ATAPI burning at all.

To add a tip for those more console oriented:

I found it useful to make a script that I use for burning iso files created with mkisofs:

I've none of the emulation or scsi options compiled in or built as modules, but this seems to work just fine:

Strangely enough, I couldn't get it to work with the ATAPI:0,1,0 style notation, but /dev/hdd did the trick just fine for me. It's a bit odd. I'm also using the 2.6 kernel though--2.4 never had a problem with the other notation.

I think I'm missing something here... cdrecord gives me a command not found, and "emerge -s cdrecord" returns no results.

cdrecord is part of cdrtools

Oh yah, forgot about "-S" :oops:

Although, it takes forever on my computer. Anyways, thanks.

But if u use usb based storage devices, I think the scsi emulation is necessary, isn't it?

K3b detects my ATAPI DVD/CDRW and writes to it perfectly. No configuration was necessary. I had problems with .8.1, but .9 is running great!

I had to use

Great tip!!

xcdroast auto-detected and configured my ATAPI burner without issue, and in my opinion has a cleaner interface than gcombust. xcdroast also includes a wrapper that allows non-rooted users to burn CDs, which is quite nice.

wait wait, does this mean i could burn CDs without having this scsi emulation stuff in my kernel? grub also has an option that says ide-scsi=/dev/hdc or something. my cdr seems to be on ATAPI:0,0,0 (dev/hdc). would be cool if i could remove all this scsi stuff from the kernel.

another question: what's with "packet writing"? is this possible in linux?

I was just wondering, a few months back ATAPI burning was still in alpha status (and was really slow). Has this improved or should i wait a while longer before i drop all the scsi emulation?

I haven't noticed any problems with speed. However, my laptop has a combo DVD/CDRW drive which is pretty slow to begin with. It's pretty easy to setup SCSI emulation so if that's already working, just go with it. For a new setup, I'd try ATAPI burning first though. I'm a firm believer in, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

The reason I started experimenting with ATAPI was that I had a problem with my burner where it would not read audio CDs well through SCSI emulation. By removing SCSI and going to straight ATAPI. it fixed it right up.

I would be interested in some comparisons between burning speed if anyone can supply them.

hmm i have removed all scsi stuff in kernel and grub and my dvd/cdrw still works. but when i start k3b, it complains that cdrdao 1.1.7 doesn't support atapi burning. so what's going on? i thought it's working, or is just cdrecord working and i can't use cdrdao? is cdrdao better or needed at all? what's with speed (i have a 52x burner). well i'll just try to burn a CD now ... hope it works :-)

I was searching for help with cdrdao atapi burning when I saw your question. Bascially, cdrdao (DAO = disk at once) is a tool for burning cue/bin files. These files are often (s)vcd discs, but they can be any disc image.

It seems that cdrdao is no longer in active development, but some people are working on getting cdrdao compiled with the newer cdrtools libraries. Check out this thread.

Hot dog! I had no idea you could burn cue files with cdrecord. Hooo ah!

mlang, if you are ever anywhere near Missoula, MT, you lemme know. I owe you a beer.

Hmm... I just ran into a problem using cdrecord to burn a bin/cue that was created with vcdimager.

Here's the thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=589859#589859

Is anyone else burning SVCD images (that they created in vcdimager) with cdrecord? More specifically, is anyone burning SVCDs that have multiple tracks?

volumen1: Read your thread, sorry to say that I know nothing about why it doesn't/won't work. I've only burned single-track vcds.

But if the offer for beer still stands, I'll take you up!
