Is there a way writing cd's on the fly with cdrecord <creating the image on the fly>?

CD to CDR

Well, cdrecord read an image file, right. So, would it work to just point it to the device file of the cd drive?? (unmounted)

Or maybe you can dd and pipe, like:

dd if=/dev/hdb bs=512 | cdrecord -blabla -

Worth a try but maybe you want to test it on a RW disk first.
