You can add tracks, look at them and delete portions or add quiet sessions, etc. And it does not change anything in the files themselves, it simply changes the .toc file to tell cdrdao what parts to record. I find that very very useful. As far as I know cdrtools has no such graphical interface. (Of course I would be delighted if I were wrong-- just as I have now discovered that my comment above, that you need an initial .toc file for gcdmaster is wrong. You can open it with no argument and add files with Edit> Append Track) The features of gcdmaster is for me the great advantage of cdrdao, and is a feature that cdrtools does not (yet?) have. The front ends (k3b, etc) I find clunky in comparison. And the ability to edit that .toc file by hand is an added bonus. I know you do not like cdrdao's .toc files, probably for good reason, but for my purposes they are just what I need. Maybe because I have never learned the .inf files. >

Thank you Andy The main thing you need to do is to undo the changes that the installation of cdrkit probably made to your system-- eg the links from cdrecord, and mkisofs to wodim or genisofs, and make the links from wodim to cdrecord, etc. I believe that wodim has actually changed a very few of the command line arguments, but do not know if anyone uses them. Most of the front ends make themselves cdrecord compatible.

They've always worked fine for me (well, they're unreliable as hell, but so are CD-Rs: you get a 'medium not found' a few years after burning them, no matter what. I lost a few hundred Mb of old data that way once... not again.) But burning stuff to them (with wodim and with the kernel's UDF support and cdrwtool) has always worked for me, even in DVD burners. |
