Hot to BURN FILES to a DVD DISK from Shell/Console Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

I was looking the way to burn some files into DVDs and I ‘course RFM ( Read the Fkn Manuals ) and this are the results:

—> Step ONE ( Start burning a multisession DVD )
# growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J file* dir/

–> Step TWO if you need to burn more that once don’t worry you can do that xD
# growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J anotherfile andanotherfile...

–> Finally CLOSE THE SESSION:
# growisofs -M /dev/dvd=/dev/zero

EASY :D

NOTES: I assume my DVD-WR are /dev/dvd you must be sure about yurs

Hot to BURN an DVD ISO from shell Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

This is just simple the trick is to know how but thats why we are here:

U can do that using 2 programas like this:
# dd if=/dev/dvd of=mydvd.iso
In this example I assume that /dev/dvd is my DVD-RW device you must change it to whatever applies to yo.
Or like this:
# wodim -v speed=8 dev=/dev/hda mydvd.iso
in this case I assume that /dev/hda is my DVDRW or a CD-RW device you must change it to whatever applies to yo.
