[George Lampman]

Thanks everone for all your help. I finally got it to work. I overburnt my first SVCD! Windows users ain't got nothing on me now.

I'm using an applescript called "open terminal here". I drag the folder for cdrdao onto the "open terminal here" icon, the terminal opens up and i am faced with the following:

[12-227-39-31:/Volumes/storage/cdrdao] username%

Then I type:

" ./cdrdao write --device IOCompactDiscServices --driver generic-mmc --overburn "

Then I drag the .cue file into the terminal window and I get something like this:

[12-227-39-31:/Volumes/storage/cdrdao] username% ./cdrdao write --device IOCompactDiscServices --driver generic-mmc --overburn /Volumes/storage/thoth\ downloads/Movie.cd2\ folder/Movie.cd2.cue

I hit return and it burns the cd!!!

Thanks for all your help in this.

George.

How does this work. Can it recognize an IDE drive? I have a beige g3 and have replaced the old CD drive with a tdk velocd 24/10/40. I drag the cdrdao file into the terminal then hit return. This comes up:

Included in the cdrdao folder are two files. One is called cdrdao.drivers and the other is cdrdao.man. How do I get my drive to work? The other question is I have a .bin file and a .cue file for the file I want to burn and I know it will have to be �overburnt� Can Cdrdao do this?

That list is a help page for cdrdao. You have to open terminal (not just run a script in it), navigate to the cdrdao folder (by typing "cd /Volumes/storage/ie\ downloads/cdrdao") and then type "./cdrdao " followed by one of the commands in that list. For example, "./cdrdao show-data" would print a list of the audio data on the currently inserted cd. For more help, read that .man file - it's the manual. "man cdrdao" should do it if the program was installed properly.

Heck I don;t even see that thing will run on OS X....how did you get it to compile and install?

[George Lampman]

Ok. Thanks for all the help. I need more though!

How do i setup my cdr drive?

[Gul Banana]

Gosh. My strong advice: use Disc Burner instead if at all possible. You're getting into _really_ complex territory here, and your best bet would be the OS X - UNIX forum.

I'm not positive about CDRDAO, but cdrecord does work. I installed it via 'fink install cdrtools'.

The key to getting it to work is the device. For cdrecord, you need to do "dev=IOCompactDiscServices" (or dev=IODVDServices if you have a superdrive or maybe even a combo drive).

Maybe try that dev= with cdrdao?
