Hi I'm new to this list.I've used the packet-cd patch until my last kernel-upgrade and was very impressed.it allowed me to record videos to a cdrw in realtime using ffmpeg. great!. Well but it was very hard for me to change the kernel. and i can't even find the newer kernel patches. well now that i am in this list i'll update to the 2.4.18 version some of you seem to be using. but where is it? Another thing: I read that cdrs will be supported as soon as the cdrw support works nicely. well imho that time has come and i'd be so very happy if i could record tv to cdrs intead of rw. very great woork you did. Thanks Jonas

CD-R packet writing (aka. variable length) is fundamentally different from the fixed length packet writing that is used on CD-RW media, and it probably won't find its way into pktcdvd before the port/rewrite for Linux 2.5, which happens at an unspecified (?) time. Search the archive for more info on this.
However, there is another way to record video to CD-R in real-time, with my patch to 'vcdimager'. You can find my thesis about this at http://users.evitech.fi/~arndb/project/ and check out the 'arnd' branch from the CVS at www.vcdimager.org. It's made to write VCD compatible streams encoded with mp1e, but you can basically pipe any real time data stream into the vcdrecord program and will get a data track (but only mp1e streams currently play in DVD players). The program is even harder to install than pktcdvd and if it fails, it is usually my fault, so contact me when you want to try it. Arnd <><
