[gentoo-user] Using a remote DVD writer

[gentoo-user] Using a remote DVD writer

Hi All,

My laptop does not have a DVD writer, only a DVD/CD player.  On the other 
hand, my desktop has the works.  Other than booting the desktop in Gentoo and 
burning DVDs directly, is there a way to use it remotely from my laptop?  Can 
I define in K3B my desktop's DVD drive(s)?  How can I set this up for a LAN 
connection?

While at it, is there a way to achieve this at all when the desktop is not 
running Gentoo, but WinXP?

PS. I do not currently have SAMBA configured on either box.

Mick

You might try webcdwriter, it's in portage. It lets you write CDs and 
DVDs remotely using a web interface to control the process.

Use mkisofs (app-cdr/cdrtools) to prepare an ISO image and transfer that 
over to the box with the burner.

I think these two command chains should work:

"mkisofs -opt1 -opt2 -optN /files/for/burning | \
ssh desktop cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -driveropts=burnfree -" <---for CDs

"mkisofs -opt1 -opt2 -optN /files/for/burning | \
ssh desktop  growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/fd/0" <---for DVDs

If you decide to try the above commands, please, do it with *RW media*
first, because I haven't tested them.

Thanks for all suggestions.  Daniel's idea seems to be closer to what I was 
looking for (I do not have Java installed on either box, although I could run 
Knoppix on  the CD writer machine).  Only I have no idea what the options 
should be to copy a DVD - I guess an iso image of the original?  I'll need to 
go through that man page a few times, unless you can suggest an appropriate 
string of options.

PS.  When I used the k3b gui with default settings to copy a WinXP directory 
to a DVD it capitalised all filenames and substituted most characters 
like "&", spaces, etc with "_".  I assume that this is because it applied 
Jolliet standard.  How should I set it in K3B to get all the 
file name characters copied over intact?  How would I do this in mkisofs, too?

As you're already familiar to K3b, why not use that to build the ISO
image (tick the Only Create image box). Then transfer it to the other
computer to burn it to DVD.
