15 xcdroast is a program-package dedicated to easy CD creation. It com‐
16 bines command line tools like cdrecord, cdda2wav, readcd and mkisofs
17 into a graphical user interface.
18 With a few simple mouse-clicks you can copy or create your own CDs,
20 without long study of any command line parameters.
21 OPTIONS
24 -d <debug-level>
25 Run X-CD-Roast in debug mode, which causes a lot of text to be
26 output on the console. Set the debug-level to 10 and reproduce
27 the problem to generate a useable bug-report.
28 -c <config-directory>
30 Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast should look for the config
31 files. By default this is set to $HOME/.xcdroast.
32 -l <lib-directory>
34 Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast should look for its library
35 files (like icons, translations and sounds). By default this is
36 /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98 or /usr/local/lib/xcdroast-0.98 (depends
37 on your installation).
38 -o This disables multibyte font support. This might be handy when
40 you have problems to display some special characters in the on-
41 screen texts. (e.g. german umlauts)
42 Note: This option has no effect on GTK2 builds.
44 -n Disables the cdrtools version check and allows X-CD-Roast to
46 start when even wrong versions of cdrecord, mkisofs, readcd or
47 cdda2wav are installed. Use at own risk! This also overrides the
48 forced exit when you don't meet the 800x600 minimal resolution
49 requirement.
50 -w Don't use cdrecord-ProDVD, even when it is installed. Sometimes
52 it may be desireable to use only the free version of cdrecord.
53 In this case you can disable ProDVD support here without needing
54 to deinstall the ProDVD-binary.
55 -a Disable additional scans for CD-Writers or CD-Readers. In addi‐
57 tion to the usual SCSI transport support (generic scsi), X-CD-
58 Roast also supports the experimental ATA-transport of the latest
59 linux kernels. If you set this option then this extra support
60 will be disabled.
61 On Mac OS X this option will disable the display of the
63 autodiskmount daemon handling code. Useful when you have other
64 means to handle the mount issue.
65 -f "<list of scsi-devices>"
67 Will not scan for devices, but force X-CD-Roast to use the given
68 ones (semicolon seperated list). Most useful on AIX or OpenBSD
69 system where scanning fails. Can be also used to use remote-SCSI
70 devices. You can set these devices also within the setup menu.
71 --display <display>
73 Use the designated X display.
74 --no-xshm
76 Do not use the X Shared Memory extension. If X-CD-Roast is being
77 displayed on a remote X server, this probably needs to be
78 enabled. Also useful for any X server that doesn't properly sup‐
79 port the X shared memory extension. This will result in slower
80 performance than with X shared memory enabled.
81
84 It is possible to start X-CD-Roast more than once at the same time.
85 This way you can write to several CD-Writers if your system can handle
86 the load.
87 Be sure to give each instance of X-CD-Roast own devices and don't scan
89 for devices while another copy of X-CD-Roast is already running. Also
90 note that writing two CDs at the same time requires that the writers
91 are at a own IDE bus each. (Real SCSI devices should be fine.)
