bashburn config

DePingus · 2009-10-19 04:15:56

I have a newbie question regarding bashburn, fstab, and mounting blank discs.

I followed the Beginner's Guide in the Wiki to setup Arch and I use HAL. Therefore, the fstab lines for my dvdrw drive are commented out.

When I use bashburn what do I put in the "CD-Writer", "CD-Reader Device File", and "CD-Reader Mount Point" part of of the config menu? Also, do I have to mount the blank disc before burning it?

I have the ''CD-Writer' set to 'auto' in bashburn's config. I'm trying to burn an audio cd from mp3s in /tmp/burn and after mpg123 decodes everything I get:

TOC Type: 0 = CD-DA
wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.scsidev: 'auto'
devname: 'auto'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
wodim: No such file or directory. 
Cannot open SCSI driver!
For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.
Burning failed.

Why use all these wrappers (ie bashburn)?
Use the commandline on the application itself (cdrecord/wodim) - eg:

cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree dev=/dev/sr0 -dao -eject -data {files-to-be-included}

or (if you want to make an audio cd:

cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree /dev/sr0 -dao -eject -audio /some/path/*.wav

Personally I have an alias in my .bashrc:

alias burn="cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree /dev/sr0 -dao -eject"

In which case all I do is:

burn -data /some/path/*
or
burn -audio /some/path/*.wav

*chuckles* I shall be the first to admit that this in itself is using a 'wrapper', but it is somewhat more transparent than the more complicated ones.

Wow, that all makes a whole lot of sense and seems way too simple.

Question though...
I noticed your examples use *.wav as their file type. Will 'cdrecord' decode mp3 files to wav before burning so that a normal cd player can play it? Or do I need to do that manually (hence the need for a wrapper)?

Either way, I like your idea; a script could make a nice simple wrapper to burn audio CDs...

Well, it just so happens that the failed bashburn attempt from earlier left me with a bunch of decoded .wav files along side my mp3s. So I tried

cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree /dev/sr0 -dao -eject -audio /tmp/burn/*.wav

This is the error that I got back.

wodim: No write mode specified.
wodim: Asuming -tao mode.
wodim: Future versions of wodim may have different drive dependent defaults.
wodim: Badly placed option. Global options must be before any track.

Strangely enough, when I tried burning with bashburn on /dev/sr0 it said the disc was already written to (on two discs that I know are blank).

hi there,

as much as I agree with the arguments above I'd still like to hear the answer to the questions.

when I hit;
"5) Configure BashBrun

what's best to enter for;
0) CD-Writer
1) CD-Reader Device File
2) CD-Reader Mount Point

for now I entered /dev/sr0 for all three and it works...even though I don't know if that's correct.

since I have /media/cd and /media/dvd I especially don't understand the 2). Do I have to change it whenever I have a CD or a DVD, or what?

And why is there no explanation on the web. Not even in the man page?

Greets, and thanks in advance
A
