LinHES Forums :: View topic - writing recordings to 'external' dvd-writer

I don't remember what version of MythTVBurn E50 has, but if it has the option to create an ISO file, do that, copy the file over to the machine with the DVD recorder (using Samba or scp), and then use a command like this:

Code:

cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 /tmp/blah.iso

## hi Nigel,
Thanks!
i had found this 'iso way' already, but was interested in a 'direct' way; but know too little about Linux to know if a drive (the dvd-writer) in an other machine can be mounted by the KM-machine...

will use your work-around for my purposes.

The remote writing sounds like a good idea, I can't recall of hearing any app that allows this.
I suppose one way would be like SANE. with some daemon process on the machine with a DVD drive, either the machine looks at a directory and if an ISO image appears there, it writes to a disc. Or a bit more complex, client machines, talk to the machine running the daemon, saying "Write this data to the DVD".

hi, with the KM R5E50 installation on a machine connected to a thin ethernet lan, i would like to write a recorded tv-show to a dvd-writer on another machine in the network... (have multiple machines, only one dvd-recorder). is this possible? when yes, how do i arrange that? (mythtv.org/documentation doesn't mention it) thanks for yre help. rob

Linux probably has a way to mount the drive, (maybe using the /etc/fstab file) but it would probably be too slow over the network. I bet it would just waste the blanks. You might be able to use it to read the remote drive though.

I guess this isn't necessarily "the Linux way" but you could probably buy a DVD burner 3 times over in the time you spend trying to figure out how to write to one in another PC. I don't know where you are from but here in the states you can get a good DVD burner for $30-40 shipped. I know that's taking the easy way out but really that is what Knoppmyth is after all isn't it? Otherwise we would all be running Myth under Slackware or something. Martian

Yeah, that would do it, but a direct mounting of the drive would probably be too slow.
