Frequently Asked Questions about cdrkit

=======================================

Q: What does "wodim" stand for?

A: It is not a forest troll and not a winner of the inpronounceability

   contest. It was simply the next alternative to wom (Writes Optical Media)

   which was unfortunately already used by other software products.

Q: What this name of ... mean?

A: Terminology: some names are based on pure imagination, some on

   abbreviations, some on permutations of chars in descriptions.

      genisoimage: Generate ISO IMAGEs

      icedax: InCrEdible Audio eXtractor

      librols: LIB Remains Of LibSchily

      libusal: LIB Unified/Universal Scsi Access Layer

      netscsid: NET SCSI Daemon

      readom: READ Optical Media (see also wodim)

      wodim: see above

Q: Are there additional depedencies, compared to cdrtools?

A: Yes. Libcap is required on Linux plattform. Libmagic is needed to support

   content-based creator/type tables with HFS (optional). Libiconv is needed to

   support iconv-based filename converstion, eg. from UTF-8 ins Joliet's UCS-2

   unicode (optional, on plattform where iconv is not already included in the libc

   system library).

Q: Burning dies with (logical unit communication crc error (ultra-dma/32)).

   Reason? Solutions?

A: Try enabling DMA for your device. Some CDROM readers/writters seem to send

   non-critical UDMA control/error codes without beeing in DMA mode and so

   those messages are not interpreted by the kernel but delivered to the

   applications instead.
