Hi, I use something like this mkisofs ... path-to-directory-to-burn | cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 - Don't forget the - at the end, it tells cdrecord to read from stdin. The cd-writing HOWTO is quite informative. Burning at a lower speed can help with buffer underrun problems. It really depends on your system load, though (playing Quake3 to kill the time while burning the CD might not be such a good idea) and the size of the cdrw hardware buffer. In my case (ide system, cdrw with 4MB hardware buffer), burning at speed=8 through a pipe usually presents no problems, so it is possible.

3)Also I like to know how to (for data/files burning) run all that with a pipe (no bash expert, but learning), my pipe apparently was "too fast" for my burner, I had fifo underruns, do I have to switch down to speed=1 for piping to mkisofs?
Hmmm. I know very little about pipes, but I avoid doing this on my machine, as this can make the burn process more unreliable (especially on older systems like mine).
Well maybe someone else can help here.
