/usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools for mkisofs
and
/usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools for growisofs and DVD media creation. It
requires cdrtools for creating FS for DVD.

And you probably have it installed, because mkisofs is in the same port. :-) It does need atapicam, though.> But as almost any new computer is supplied with a dvd drive this nice > program has become quit useless. It does not support those drives.Hmm, cdrecord happily burns CDs in a recorder that's also capable of burning DVDs.> My question is: will it ever do? > > I mean, cd-rom drives are losing terrain with each day passed. > Or will I be "forced" to either buy an oldfashioned cdrom drive in my > new machines? ; or recompile for atapicam ? ; or any other solution?For burning DVD's you can use /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools. I'm using atapicam, so I don't know if it works with plain ATAPI drives. The manual page for growisofs implies you need (simulated) SCSI.

(dvd's are different).Why aren't you using cdrecord? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html Pay attention to 16.6.9 Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver

(dvd's are different). >burncd is capable of burning dvd+rw and dvd+r and for this purposes I use it frequently. It is easy to use, part of the OS and, in my opinion, a very powerful tool. But burncd has problems burning and especially __closing__ cd-r, cd-rw (fixate does not work, fixating with cdrecord remains the previously broken media clear and usable after burning with burncd and fixating with cdrecord.

It would be nice if the Schily SCSI library could support multiple transport types at once then you could have a version that could speak to both ATA *and* CAM at the same time. (I believe sos wrote patches for Schily lib to talk to the ATA subsystem but then you can't use it to talk to SCSI devices) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
