CD/DVD Burning under Haiku
Written by Karl vom Dorff   
Saturday, 05 April 2008

I had previously tried CD recording under Haiku with the BeOS port of CDRecord, but that didn't work. Then I stumbled upon a Haiku port of CDRecord by porter extrodinaire Francois Revol (mmu_man)!

Simply install the CDRecord binary in /home/config/bin. I also used a front-end (BurnItNow) that actually worked quite well! Testing under Vmware with a CDRW, here you can see that the drive is detected:

And you can see the blanking of a CD.

This is great news!
One question, is that the directory that you would normally use for apps (/home/config/bin)?

not really sure, that's where a user's system binaries would go. i just put it there because its in the path, so when you run cdrecord from the terminal, it'll work without putting the path in (that way burnitnow knows where it is). it could have also gone in /boot/beos/bin. maybe someone else can give a better explanation. when i update haiku i just overwrite the whole beos folder with a new revision, that's another advantage of placing it in the home directory instead of the system dir.

No... your apps and plugins should get in your /home/ folder...

If you have problems later (for example a wrong driver and cannot start your system again. You can disable your user-add ons / plugins at system boot/start by pressing the space bar. This way you are able to correct or repair your system. If you used the boot folder you cannot start/reboot your system this easy way.

For apps I would suggest you to use boot/home/apps instead. If you update HAIKU you have to replace all folders except your /home/ folder.

Some Programs have to go to the boot/home/config/bin folder. This are usually programs which you run in the terminal. Read the instructions / readme before installing a program.

With the Superpack I put everything in the home folder, i.e drivers, apps for the reason he states. Easy for updating Haiku, and disabling drivers/user addons in case something goes wrong with the system.

There was a good article on Haiku's website that explained what all the directories in Haiku were for and what goes where, but I can't find it.

Would this program eventually allow for burning video DVD's and such?

From Cdrecord's website:

Cdrecord supports DVD -R and DVD -RW with all known DVD-writers on all UNIX-like OS and on Win32.
DVD writing support is implemented in cdrecord since march 1998. Cdrecord writes DVD media similar to CD media.
Here is the place from where you may download the cdrtools source packages that include cderecord-ProDVD.


It probably just works. BurnitNow includes the sources, so it could probably be updated to add support for video projects.

You can also see on the screenshot I made for CDRecord, that it does indeed include DVD support:
