ripping cds to iso

UnderDog138 · Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2002 12:28 pm Post subject: ripping cds to iso

What program is capable of ripping data CDs to ISO images? xcdroast rips to .img, but I want an actual .iso. Anyone know what does, and can I find it in portage?

Funny you should say that because I'm trying that already. Thing is, I'm using that jerry-rigged thing where you mount the cdrom as a SCSI emulated device so I can burn CDs but I can't actually read CDs regularly because I don't know what the actual SCSI emulated device is called. If I knew that I could do the dd command.

mkisofs might be what you're looking for, but seriously, I use ide-scsi as well and I can read from my burner.

Well so could I if I new the name of the scsi-emulated device so I could mount it somewhere and read it. That's what I've been trying to find out.

Do you know what it is?

No, I was referring to other posts of mine where I ask a question and I wait two days and nobody replies with anything that I don't already know which is no help to anybody, especially myself. I was predicting this one would go the same way, which it has so far and it's only been half an hour since I posted.

I'm forcing hdc (my cdrom) to be an scsi emulated device (hdc=ide-scsi in the kernel line in grub.conf) so my burner software can read it. My drawback is I can't look at CDs unless I mount it and I don't know the name of that device so I can't do so.

@UnderDog138: Gee, slow down. Are you looking for /dev/scd0 ?

U want to extract the iso from the cdrom doent need to have ide-scsi module. All you have to have is a working cdrom drive and valid device node (normally /dev/hdc) then just follow peha's instruction. Do not mount the cdrom when do this.

I liked CdbakeOven which runs under KDE. A little hard to get used to the interface but it works quite well.

Mounting the cdrom and checking to which device it is attached by simply typing "mount" would had told you what it took you a few days to be told.

use dmesg to see where it is attached to. In my case, it is attached to sr0 to sr6. I'm using a dvd/cd-rw combo on my notebook.
