I'm on Mac OS X, have a DVD in the DVD-drive and can look at it in the Finder. I'd like to try to create an iso of it by using the dd command. But to do that I need to know what device to use as an input. How can I find what device my DVD-drive is?

I have a problem with writing data to a DVD drive - Burning NeroROM starts to burn a disc, then halts and gives an error: Power callibration error. I now am the proud owner of many DVD coasters.

I see this as a VERY common problem either when the optical drive is heavily used for writing in a relatively short period (1), or if the machine ... .

Are there any other devices connected to the cable with the DVD-ROM drive?
How was the drive configured? Master or slave? Maybe you changed something on your computer and forgot to insert the master jumper?

How can I discover any USB storage devices and/or CD/DVD writers available at a given time (using C# .Net2.0).
