NAME
xcdroast - graphical frontend to create or copy optical discs.
SYNOPSIS
xcdroast
[-d <debug-level>]
[-c <config-directory>]
[-l <lib-directory>]
[-n] [-w] [-a]
[-f "<list of scsi-devices>"]
[--display <display>]
[--no-xshm]
DESCRIPTION
xcdroast
is a program-package dedicated to easy CD/DVD creation. It combines
command line tools like cdrecord,
cdda2wav, readcd and mkisofs
into a graphical user interface.
With a few simple mouse-clicks you can copy or create your own CDs/DVDs,
without long study of any command line parameters.
OPTIONS
- -d <debug-level>
-
Run X-CD-Roast in debug mode, which causes a lot of text to be output on the
console. Set the debug-level to 10 and reproduce the problem to generate
a useable bug-report.
- -c <config-directory>
-
Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast should look for the config files. By
default this is set to $HOME/.xcdroast.
- -l <lib-directory>
-
Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast should look for its library files (like icons, translations and sounds). By default this is /usr/lib/xcdroast or /usr/local/lib/xcdroast (depends on your installation).
- -n
-
Disables the cdrtools version check and allows X-CD-Roast to start when even
wrong versions of cdrecord, mkisofs, readcd or cdda2wav are installed. Use at
own risk! This also overrides the forced exit when you don't meet the
800x600 (1024x720, if using bigger fonts) minimal resolution requirement.
- -w
-
Don't use cdrecord-ProDVD, even when it is installed. Sometimes it may
be desireable to use only the free version of cdrecord. In this case you
can disable ProDVD support here without needing to deinstall the
ProDVD-binary.
- -a
-
Disable additional scans for Disc-Writers or Disc-Readers. In addition to the
usual SCSI transport support (generic scsi), X-CD-Roast also supports the
experimental ATA-transport of the latest linux kernels. If you set
this option then this extra support will be disabled.
- -f <list of scsi-devices>
-
Will not scan for devices, but force X-CD-Roast to use the given ones (semicolon seperated list). Most useful on AIX or OpenBSD system where scanning fails. Can be also used to use remote-SCSI devices. You can set these devices also within the setup menu.
- --display <display>
-
Use the designated X display.
- --no-xshm
-
Do not use the X Shared Memory extension. If X-CD-Roast is being displayed
on a remote X server, this probably needs to be enabled. Also useful
for any X server that doesn't properly support the X shared memory extension.
This will result in slower performance than with X shared memory enabled.
Multiple concurrent instances
It is possible to start X-CD-Roast more than once at the same time. This way
you can write to several CD-Writers if your system can handle the load.
Be sure to give each instance of X-CD-Roast
own devices and don't scan for devices while another copy of X-CD-Roast
is already running. Also note that writing two discs at the same time requires
that the writers are connected to an own IDE bus each. (Real SCSI devices should
be fine.)
