Readme is currently very CD-orientated
Hi, many thanks for this project.
Currently, the README is almost entirely written as if the program is only for CDs, in the drive types sections for example. Can information about DVD and BD drives and dumping commands be added?
Hi John,
Yes you're very correct, redumper started as CD centric dumper and other functionality was added later. CD is very complicated when you take into account read/write offset, lead-in/lead-out, mastering issues and a lot of other things.
I will have to update the documentation at some point but overall other media "just" works. If you want to dump DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray media, it's enough to run redumper
without any options for the most scenarios.
Usually, the primary redumper user base are members of redump.org. If you happen to come from the outside, I'd suggest to look into MPF (https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF) that is basically a frontend for redumper that knows default settings depending on a disc type etc.
Thanks for the quick reply :). I'm already a dumper on redump.org and am familiar with MPF, although I'm trying to move to using Linux for dumping so cannot use MPF on that.
Indeed, simply running "redumper" seems to work great for DVDROMs I've tried. :)
I did some README changes, hopefully more clear now.
Thank you!
