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 made a bootable USB stick which successfully installs Windows 7.
I'd also like to use it with VM Ware, which only recognises DVD drives.
Can I mount my bootable USB drive to emulate being a DVD drive?

Not without using an ISO image..
No, is the answer I seem to have found.
But you can create an ISO image from it using ISORecorder , then mount it with a tool like Virtual Clonedrive to achieve the same effect .
Not that I know of.

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 have updated the firmware but to no avail.
Any ideas?

I'm trying to install Fedora on a really old (1999-2000) PC, even though I have set it to boot the CD/DVD drive first it wont boot from the CD, I know the CD 'im using is bootable, do you think that the CD might be too new or something?

If the machine is from 1999-2000, I would say the most likely cause is that the optical drive is broken .

Sound card choppy while read/write DVD drive.
Whenever I play DVDs via VLC, the sound is choppy. Playing with PowerDVD does not have this problem.

It wasn't...

Either option is very cheap.
I suspect the problem is you are trying to write huge amounts of data to the DVD drive on the PCI to get a normal DVD drive on IDE/SATA or a USB sound card.

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?
