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.

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.
