Command Line DVD Burning Software

[steve1515]

Is there any software that can burn a DVD from the command line? I'm writing a script that burns a nightly Ghost image to a DVD. I need to able to just put in a blank DVD at night, and the script will take care of the rest. My script will run the burning program.

The image is about 4GB in size, so I need to use the UDF disc format. I have Nero 7 Ultra and have tried NeroCmd.exe that comes with it, but it never burns successfully.

Does anyone know of any software that would work correctly?

Thanks.

Have you tried Ghost's boot wizard to make a floppy with cd-r support? That might work or maybe you could replace the cd drivers with dvd drivers?

I recently got ghost to do a command line restore using a program called stuffit (lifesaver). https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1411710#1411710 Perhaps you can use a combination of stuffit and keyboard shortcuts to accomplish the task?

What about DAO.exe ?

Also here's some info on using Nerocmd.exe:

this part creates my backup:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\Weekly.bks" /n "Backup.bkf created 11/27/2005 at 10:04 AM" /d "Set created 5/27/2005 at 10:04 AM" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hcff /m normal /j "Weekly" /l /f "D:\Weekly Backup\Backup.bkf"

then this part burns to DVD:
"C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\nerocmd.exe" --write --drivename E --real --iso backup --underrun_prot --create_iso_fs --verify --dvd --disable_eject --dvd_high_compatibility --close_session "d:\weekly backup\backup.bkf"

I've also attached a text file with all the commandline options of Nerocmd :

nerocmd.txt


Or another option is to use mkisofs to make an ISO file then use DVDDecrypter in CLI mode to burn the ISO image.

The problem with the ISO is that the standard ISO format will only allow files with file sizes that are up to 2GB. I need to burn a 4GB file.

I did try nerocmd with the --create_udf_fs switch but it didn't work. I got a Failed Write error. The weird thing is that when I try to burn a UDF disk with Nero/Nero Express it works fine. Unfortunately I need it to be done via the command line.
