Rip a CD/DVD to ISO format.

Rip a CD/DVD to ISO format.
An easy method to generate ISOs from CD/DVD media.
Alternatives
There are 2 alternatives$ readom dev=/dev/scd0 f=/path/to/image.iso
Create a CD/DVD ISO image from disk.
Many like to use 'dd' for creating CD/DVD iso
images. This is bad. Very bad. The reason this is, is 'dd' doesn't have
any built-in error checking. So, you don't know if you got all the bits
or not. As such, it is not the right tool for the job. Instead, 'reaom'
(read optical media) from the wodim package is what you should be using.
It has built-in error checking. Similarly, if you want to burn your
newly creating ISO, stay away from 'dd', and use:
wodim -v -eject /path/to/image.iso$ readcd dev= f=foo.iso The only problem here is that there is no error checking or correction. The cdrecord package includes a command line tool called readcd that rips CDs to iso files quite nicely
