GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315265
On the fly disc writing
Last modified: 2014-09-01 09:59:12 UTC
This is a must have feature. This is why I have k3b in my ubuntu system installed. I think a lot of people don't want to wait a long time each audio cd she is burning.
What do you mean by on the fly disc, the convertion must be performed, k3b also does it.
On the k3b info page: Creating audio cds: * Write audio cds on-the-fly without decoding audio files to wav before. This is what makes writing a cd on k3b a lot faster than on serpentine, and is the only reason I have to use it.
OK I am going to look at this and re-open the bug.
(forgot to re-open it)
The only solution to this problem would be to make nautilusburn add support for this set of commands: for I in *.mp3 do mpg123 --cdr - "$I" | cdrecord -audio -pad -nofix - done cdrecord -fix Which basically is, we need nautilusburn.Recorder to expose the 'No Fixate'/'Fixate' option, this means this feature: - disables DAO mode (since the -nofix is incompatible with it) - if accepted in nautilus-cd-burner package will only exist post gnome 2.14 (April 2006)
Can you please check if k3b supports mp3 writting on the fly in DAO mode? If it does it means: a) cdrecorder has some kind of option to issue pipes or something that makes it possible for an application to stream bytes directly to it. b) k3b does not uses cdrecorder to write mp3 on the fly c) k3b has no actual mp3 on the fly support d) there's a way of doing this that i haven't figured it out If if doesn't it "confirms" my assumptions on how to use cdrecord+on-the-fly-streaming
I will look into it, but I think that it writes the cd in trak mode.
Another option would be to feed only one file from STDIN and send a CUE for specifying the disc structure.
There is a documented may to write an audio CD on the fly. first call: cdda2wav dev=1,0 -info-only -vall cddb=0 then call: cdda2wav dev=1,0 -no-infofile -B -Oraw - | cdrecord dev=2,0 -v -dao -audio -useinfo -text *.inf If you reduce the write speed and if you switch on "burnfree", you may add -paranoia to cdda2wav.
Serpentine maintainer(s) have not worked on Serpentine for some years now. This project is not under active development anymore. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
