Hi, Just at the idea phase at the moment. I have played with various command line tests, but would like to make sure I am not re-inventing the wheel before I progress further. Therefore: 1. Just wondering if anyone knows of a robotic DVD burner/printer that can be integrated with FreeBSD. Ideally I would like it to be able to run 'growisofs' and have it burn the DVD on the networked robotic CD/DVD burner. The burner would have a built in CD/DVD printer. I am thinking the software package would have a web page to allow people to upload a graphic, and/or just a CD/DVD text title, that would be printed onto the CD/DVD. Having one central burner would save me having to issue out DVD burners to multiple users. 2. Conversely, I am looking into having a central DVD reader, that staff would insert a DVD, type some meta-data into a webpage, and then click on the convert button. FreeBSD would then read the CD/DVD and create an iso image of it. The iso image would be placed into a repository, from where they could be mounted as needed, and shared out via samba. An email would be sent out once the CD/DVD has been converted detailing how to access the iso file. This all becomes important when a site moves to using thin clients and Terminal Servers. Any thoughts and ideas are welcome. Regards, Paul Hamilton Busselton, 6280 Australia --=20 This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
