Dear All:
I have a bunch of VCD format movies in CD that I want to dd out
to my harddrive as iso.
So I did this:
mount /dev/cdrom
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/usr/local/cdfile.iso
The iso file created:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 450560 Feb 13 09:39
/usr/local/cdfile.iso
I know my movie is bigger than that. Not sure why it is only such a small
file.
Did I do something wrong or other there other dd options I need to provide?
Just for testing, I used cdrecord to burn the iso back to a CD-R. The
medium could not be recognized by any CD-drive....
Any tips much appreciated.
