Hello All,
From the net I found a command to copy a cd into an iso file.
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso
This has to be given to an unmounted disc. However I got a series of continuous errors when running the command and the operation failed. What could have gone wrong?
Regards,
Rony.

This is due to scratches, etc. on the CD. Try this ... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso conv=noerror Hope this helps ... Regards, BG

Hi, I tried it out but this time instead of throwing errors and returning back to the prompt, it went on and on with these errors repeating with the speed slowly reducing. Here is a sample output below. I had to stop the process after 800+ seconds.

Rony.

Further to the above mail, I am not even able to copy the cd contents after mounting it and using simple copy/paste in gui mode. I tried it with 2 different movie cds. One a Hollywood movie and one Marathi. Both are original but suspecting that maybe the holly one is copy protected, even the Marathi movie dat file cannot be copied. Both movies play properly in VLC Player. Even K3B burning gave read errors.
I cross checked with a magazine data cd and it created a full iso using the simple dd command dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso
Does the Linux kernel have some cd movie copy protection? Any known application or dependency thats causing this?
Regards,
Rony.

dvd copying and playing is user space. Nothing to do with the kernel as long as you have iso9660 and udf fs (for rewritable cd /dvd) support. While copying with k3b specify ignore read errors. A player will play the cd cause it is very tolerant to bit errors. However copying is not. You might want to install libdvdcss2.

JTD and Sharukh, the cds can be read properly in Windows. I later copied the hollywood cd using Nero on the same hw. This is surely some copy protect issue. Could the K/Ubuntu 5.10 users try this out on their computers? Try to copy a *.dat file from the mpegav folder in any movie cd and paste it on the desktop.

The so-called DAT file can never be copy-pasted directly in GNU/Linux as that file is _not_ a real file. A VCD doesn't contain a file system, it contains raw data. But as Winblows can't access raw data directly from a device those DAT files are provided which act as gateways to the raw data. GNU/Linux won't copy those files as they don't exist, while in Winblows the actual RAW data pointed to by those DAT files will be encoded to MPEG format and copied on-the-fly. Just copy the file on Winblows and then do a `file` on that on GNU/Linux and you will know. So the only way to copy a VCD on GNU/Linux is to either `dd` it or use some VCD ripping program like vcdimager. Hope that helps ... Regards, BG

What about vcdfs ?

I don't know about linux not seeing the the dat files. vcd's _can_ be successfully copied with cdrdao. Been there, done that. Do try it and let us know.

The simplest solution to this problem I have found is: 1. Use K3B(or any cd burning tool on linux) to create an ISO image of the VCD and store it on your system. One may face problems with k3b unable to read cd, but this can be fixed by properly configuring it(I dont remember the configuration but you can always try out different combinations. I could find it in around 3 attempts.)
2. The name of the image file would be <anything>.iso 3. Change the extension of this image file by simply renaming it as <anything>.mpg
Since VCD's are in mpeg format and u have just copied entire raw data, just saving it as .mpg makes any video player supporting mpeg movies play it properly. Only problem that may remain is the track info. You wont get separate files for separate tracks as it appears on the vcd.

If the cd is not scratched, do this:
cdrdao copy
man cdrdao.
I've noticed that if a cd/dvd is scratched, you can't copy it on your pc but it migh run just well on a vcd/dvd player. I don't kow why.

You may want to look out for the right byte select option. Usually it is bs=512 so your command would look something like dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=512
In any case have a look at this URLs :
