Linux equivalent of ImgBurn "Discovery" feature?

[Red Blade]

Hi,

The Windows ISO burning program ImgBurn has a feature called "Discovery"
where it tells you information on the type of disc, the Chinese factory
it came from, tracks and sessions, etc.

I am looking for a program in Linux which will emulate this "Discovery"
feature of ImgBurn.
My biggest need is the ability to tell factory-pressed CD/DVD from burned
CD-R/DVD-R/etc.

Thank you,

Eyeball v 1.0 works for me....all the disks I buy for my use have CD-R
or DVD +R or other in fairly large letters.
Factory-pressed disks don't - no need for a program to do that!

You might be able to use either 'cdrdao disk-info' or 'wodim -atip' to
get the information you are looking for.

dvd+rw-mediainfo may also help, but seems to be dvd only.

Slackware includes cdrdao and dvd+rw-mediainfo. Downloaded cdrkit
(includes wodim), all three are helpful command line tools, but not all
cover everything.

I found out however that K3B's "Media Info" will tell me everything I
need.

Thank you!

This is simple, just use "cdrecord -minfo"

It displays the media information that allows you get all information about the
current media status. You may need to add "-v".

cdrdao seems to me unmaintained since aprox. 5 years. It only supports CDs.

Wodim does not support DVDs or BluRays.

In short: wodim is made from a cdrecord from September 2004 with Debian
specific bugs added. You don't like to use it.

Check cdrtools for maintained CD/DVD/Bluray software:

Seconding the motion that wodim works fine for DVDs. It burns my
weekly backups, each of which gets bit-perfect verified by the
drive that burned it and then by a second drive. It burned the
DVDs of the best home videos taken when my children were young.
They were verified as well.

Mr. Schilling has written some brilliant software, but he has a
troubling habit of being contradicted by reality.

Thank you for verifying that you did never use wodim and thus have no clue
about it's features and drawbacks.

While cdrecord supports the -atip option since 15 years, wodim did remove the
CVD support code and introduced something half baken that does not work at all
with -atip and that only sometimes works for writing.

[octothorpe@desktop ~]$ rpm -qa | grep wodim
wodim-1.1.11-14.fc17.x86_64

Now shut the hell up

Spew your garbage/non sense elsewhere

Go tell someone who cares. I will not use cdrtools ever, you happy now.
