Re: [Staffslug] DD
Thanks Chris,
I have seen this article whilst googling yesterday. And I have also picked
up, eventually, the fact that Audio CDs are different. dd can't read audio
cds for that reason. Anyway, there are quite a few utilities that can do
what I want. This was/is an educational exercise and I'll be interested to
see if dd can be used to backup dual layer and copy protected DVDs.
I'll give that a go next.

Thanks Russ,
I have Brassero and that works like a treat. I also have several
Windows ISO creators and they also work fine (most of the time). I
just want to understand why dd is messing up when I use an Audio CD.
I feel certain its to do with the file system used in Audio CDs. And
also, how to I get a listing of all the media devices including DVD/CD
players?

Audio CDs don't have a filesystem
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_%28audio_CD_standard%29)
compared with CD-ROMs which use ISO9660 or UDF.
I found this article whilst googling:
