Detection If the auto detection of your devices fails, you may add them manually. You have to give pairs (A; B) where A is the "dev" argument of cdrecord (try "cdrecord dev=A -inq") and B is the device you may use with the "dd" command (try "dd if=B of=/dev/null"). Examples: "auto" "(0,0,0; /dev/scd0), (1,1,0; /dev/scd1)" "(ATAPI:0,0,0; /dev/hdc)" devices =

Default speed The speed suggested to the users for CD-Rs and CD-RWs. defaultSpeed = defaultSpeedCD-RW = The speed suggested for audio CDs. defaultSpeedAudio =

Burnfree Use "burnfree" if supported by the writer?

You may use cdrdao to copy CDs on-the-fly to a second drive. cdrdaoArgs =

overburnSupportArgs =

ATAPIRawDeviceSupport Use "dev=/dev/hd?" instead of "dev=ATAPI:bus,id,0" with cdrecord and ATAPI devices. This is still experimental. Try it with Linux 2.6.
