 HP 9350i 10x4x32 IDE, slave on ide0

As of Linux 2.6 you don't seem to need to use SCSI emulation anymore as long as you tell cdrecord what to do using dev=ATAPI on the command line.

Line: 6 to 6
 Also make sure that the ide_generic and ide_cd modules are loaded.

DVD's

DVD's are very sensitive to scratches, fingerprints, etc. If you let your kids handle DVD's then it's a very good idea to make a copy and have them watch that so when they inevitably scratch it you've got the original someplace safe.

For many CD's you can use vobcopy to pull the vobs from the original disk and stash them someplace safe.

Some CD's are a little more challenging. They use the same trick that they used to use back in the C64 days: they put deliberate errors on the DVD in the hopes that they will confuse the software that people use to play them. For those disks you need to ddrescue them (dd_help helps greatly with this), then dvdbackup the vobs that you want to keep.
