Script to burn DVD on the fly?

Hi folks,


One DVD Writer installed on PC


To duplicate Data DVD or DVD Installer I run following steps;


1)
$ dd if=/dev/dvd of=image.iso bs=2048

to create an ISO image


2)
Remove the DVD disc on the tray and insert a blank DVD disc for
burning. Then run;


3)
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

Done



Following command worked for me previously burning CD on the fly;
mkisofs -R -joliet-long -graft-points -hide-rr-moved \
/dir-A/=/path/to/dir-A/ \
/dir-B/=/path/to/dir-B/ \
/dir-C/=/path/to/dir-C/ |\
cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 -v -eject -



Now I'm trying to burn DVD on the fly w/o creating ISO image. I haven't figure out;

- how to modify the command burning CD on the fly for burning DVD

- how to eject the DVD disc automatically after the command at 1) finished.

- how to evoke command at 3) automatically after an blank DVD disc inserted.


Please shed me some light. TIA

NAME
mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso DESCRIPTION
The mkcd utility takes media-root (the root of an on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a bootable Solaris ISO image in the file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1). (Neither mkisofs(8) nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.) Caution - The directory tree media-root must contain the file boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the media boot sectors. This file will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -l label Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image. -v Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: media-root Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media. iso Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD The following commands create an ISO image from the content of s10u1 and burn the image to a CD/DVD. # /usr/bin/mkcd s10u1 s10u1.iso # /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso ATTRIBUTES
