- Cdrecord allows you to create multi-session CD's with all
- supported drives. Cdrecord comes with a hacked mkisofs
- that allows you to that on even on systems that don't support
- a sectorsize 2048 Bytes (e.g. SGI IRIX and old versions of Solaris)
- or systems that don't support raw device access (e.g. OS/2 W95/W98/WNT).
- This is possible because this hacked version of mkisofs
- uses my scg driver to read the old session from the CD-Recorder.
-
- According to www.cd-info.com, a CD+ is a CD with two sessions.
- The first session is an audio session, the second session a data
- session.
-
- Creating a CD+ is first writing an audio session in
- multi session mode and then writing a data session.
-
- This first audio session may be written in TAO mode with the command
-
- cdrecord -multi -audio file1 ....
-
- or in DAO mode with the command
-
- cdrecord -dao -multi -audio file1 ....
-
- To add the second session that contains the data track, you need
- to create an ISO-9660 file system that starts not at sector 0.
-
- With the current mkisofs (1.12b5), you must use the following method:
-
-
- - First call cdrecord -msinfo for your prepared multi-session audio CD.
-
- you will get something like 0,12345
-
- - Now call mkisofs:
-
- mkisofs -o fs.raw -C 0,12345 root_directory_for_new_cd
-
- replace 0,12345 with your actual cdrecord -msinfo output.
-
- the image in fs.raw may now be written with cdrecord as second session.
-
- See my README.multi for more info on how to create multi session CD's
-
-
- The procedure again in short form:
-
- cdrecord -multi -audio audio_tracks ....
- or
- cdrecord -dao -multi -audio audio_tracks ....
-
- cdrecord -msinfo ....
- (output is e.g. 0,12345)
-
- mkisofs -R -o cd_plus.raw -C 0,12345 root_dir_of_fs
-
- cdrecord -data cd_plus.raw
