Re: Close (complete) a DVD?

Check the cdrecord option -msinfo (which calls mkisofs, I believe)

So maybe its just:
cdrecord -msinfo

From cdrecord's man page:

=====================
-multi     

Allow multi session CDs to be made. This flag needs to be present on all
sessions of a multi session disk, except you want to create a session
that will be the last session on the media....
=====================

To me, this implies if you create another session w/o using the -multi option, it
will close the disk; however, I don't know if you can do this without adding
more data. Beware, many dvd drives (including burners) can only read the first
session of a multi-session dvd.

You may also want to check out growisofs.

Something similiar to:
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files

This command appends more - check the man pages of both growisofs and mkisofs to
learn how close it.


I think the easiest solution would be to use K3b. ;)
