Howto: Read An Xiso Burned Dvd+r Under Linux
« on: January 08, 2012, 11:02:00 AM »
Huge bump, but..

Found a variation on this, I wanted to create an XISO file from a Backup and created a local symlink of my raw device:

ln -s /dev/cdrom cdrom

and ran extract-xiso:

extract-xiso -r cdrom

You need the symlink because extract-xiso likes to rename the original file to cdrom.old, not a good idea for the raw device.

Unfortunately, i didn't get it to work to completion, but I suspect it was too many scratches on the disk.
