| Post subject: | copying movie from CD |
I have a MPEG 4 movie that I am trying to move from a data DVD. I have done this before (with R4A4.1, I think). I am now running R5A12. I noticed the DVD eject issue has been worked out. Does this mean that the DVD is not mounted until called upon. I tried Code: mount /dev/hdc mount /dev/dvd mount /dev/cdrom mount /dev/scd0 and after each tried to Code: cd /dev/dvd
cd /dev/hdc etc. to no avail. when ever I tried the "cd" command it said not a valid directory, or something like that. I am learning, and have searched the forums for "copy movie from cd" and "copy from cd" and they all seem to lead to how to make a cd. Can someone point me in the right direction i know this is a simple linux command that i have used a thousand times, but i am missing a step somewhere to see the dvd. |

you are using the mount command wrong. the syntax for mount is mount device mountpoint for example mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom in the example above you would then cd /cdrom to access the information on the disk. the mountpoint must exist so in the example the /cdrom directory must already exist, and preferably be empty. to copy something off for example copy test.avi from the disk to your video dir after it's mounted you would do cp /cdrom/test.avi /myth/video/ |

You can cheat on the command line syntax for mount but only if mount can unambiguously find the device or mount point (directory) you're refering to in /etc/fstab. |

the way I do it is just insert the disc, ctrl+alt+F1; cp /cdrom/(what ever dir the file is in)/* /myth/video/ and then wait till it is done, and then as root: eject the alt+F7 back to myth and update my videos and there it is |
