Re: iso file from a cd

[<arora.himanshu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've already tried this. This doesn't work. Even mkisofs is not able to recognize the cd. But gnome-cd is able to play the songs well. The cd seems to have some other format, I think all the song cds(original one) have the same format(might be I'm wrong). If any one could help I would be happy.

You should be able to do this:
        dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/file.iso

You can probably speed up the copying with the bs option, but I don't
use this very often, so I'm a bit rusty, so I'd suggest you read up dd's
man file.

You may come up with problems since you can't mount the cd, but that is
only a wild guess, so...

Hope this helps you,
