readdvd(1) readdvd 1.0 readdvd(1)NAME
readdvd - is creating an image of your source dvd media or medias even if it has / they have corrupted blocks
SYNOPSIS
readdvd [-l] [-h]
readdvd -d DEVICE1 [-d DEVICE2] [-d ...] -o file.iso [-s #] [-v] [-vv]
DESCRIPTION
readdvd reads even a corrupted dvd and writes the the result into a new image file on your harddisk.
DEVICE
can be an IDE, SCSI, SATA, USB or FireWire connected optical drive. Not all SATA controller support all Plextor features.
Linux:
/dev/hdX: IDE device
/dev/scdX: Linux 2.4: SATA, SCSI, USB device, or IDE device via ide-scsi emulation
/dev/srX: Linux 2.6: IDE device via new ATA layer, SCSI or USB device
OpenBSD/NetBSD:
/dev/rcdX
FreeBSD:
/dev/cd: SCSI device
/dev/acd: ATA device
MacOS X:
/dev/disk:
win32:
C:,D:,E:, ... X:,Y:,Z:
OPTIONS -l scan busses for all available CD and DVD devices
-h help shows available options.
-o file.iso
write data to imagefile named file.iso
-s # read source media with selected speed
-v use verbose mode
-vv use extended verbose mode
INTERACTIVE MODUS
q stop reading media and exit
w save sector map which is currently read and continue with the next one
EXAMPLES
readdvd -d /dev/sr0 -o filename.iso -s 8 -v
create an image filename.bin of inserted media in device /dev/sr0 with read speed 8 in verbose mode.

DESCRIPTION
qscan is the linux console tool for error correction measuring with optical devices. The related plugin allows to use vendor specific com-
mands on your optical device. Currently supported vendors are Asus, Benq, Liteon, NEC, Pioneer and Plextor. For detailed information look

OPTIONS -l, --scanbus
scan busses for all available optical devices
-h, --help
show help
-S, --speeds
detect available read and write speeds for selected -d DEVICE and the relating media
-i, --info
show device info of selected -d DEVICE
-m, --media
show media info of selected -d DEVICE
-p, --plugins
list all available plugins
-f, --force-plugin PLUGIN [ ASUS | BENQ | BENQ_DVDROM |GENERIC |LITEON |NEC |PIONEER |PLEXTOR ]
force usage of the selected plugin to use the vendor specific commands for the slected device.
Default behaviour auto detection modus.
[ASUS] use Asus vendor specific commands
[BENQ] use Benq optical writer vendor specific commands
[BENQ_DVDROM] use Benq optical reader vendor specific commands
[GENERIC] use generic mmc commands
[LITEON] use Liteon vendor specific commands
[NEC] use NEC vendor specific commands
[PIONEER] use Pioneer vendor specific commands
[PLEXTOR] use Plextor vendor specific commands
-r #, --rspeed #
set read performance speed to selected value.
Use -S option before, if you are unsure which speeds are supported
-s #, --speed #
set measurement speed to selected value.
Use -S option before, if you don't know what speeds are supported by your device.
Don't use this with -r or -w option.
-t, --test [rt|wt|errc|ft|jb|ta]
select the q-check you want to be proceeded. Not all tests are supported by all devices.
For detailed information about the terms read the project page:
http://qpxtool.sourceforge.net/glossar.html
[rt] read transfer rate measurement
[wt] write transfer rate on blank media
[errc] errror correction - Cx-scan / PIE, PIF, POE, POF
[ft] focus and tracking error measurement
[jb] jitter and beta measurement
[ta] time analyzer measurement
-w #, --wspeed #
set write speed to selected value.
Use -S option before, if you don't know what write speeds are supported by your device.
-v, --verbose
gives verbose output and debug information
-W, --write
perform real write instead simulation for write transfer rate
EXAMPLES
qscan -l
scan all buses for availabale optical devices
qscan -d /dev/sr2 -S
Show available speed steps of device /dev/sr2.
qscan -d /dev/sr2 -t errc -s 5
Proceed an error correction scan on device /dev/sr2 with 5x speed.
qscan -d /dev/sr0 -t wt -s 12
Proceed a write performance test in simulation mode on device /dev/sr0 (dummy mode) with 12x speed
