back out changes that prevent non-root users writing cds until userspace catches up
seems to be a con kolvitas patch so in ck-kernels and derivatives like nitro.  |
I know that, that's why I ask these questions... |

What about burning an iso file to a dvd ?
I saw that in the man page : growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
But I would have done growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd image.iso
It isnt the same? |

Ok, using K3b, cdrecord and growisofs I've managed to get my burner working "almost" perfectly. I can burn CDs and CD-RWs perfectly every time at full speed. I can burn DVD+RWs just fine as well. I can also burn DVD-R just fine, but I don't have any DVD-RW to try.
However, DVD+R does not work. If I try to burn a DVD+R it starts out ok. It actually works for a few seconds and burns what its supposed to. But then it gives me an io error and stops burning, thus coastering. As I said above I have a plextor PX-712A. Theoretically it is supposed to like DVD+R better than DVD-R. It is supposed to burn DVD+R at 12x and DVD-R at 8x. However, I am using 8X DVD+R media, but I'm only burning at 2x, so that isn't the problem. And the media is on the list of supported media on the plextor site.
One thing to note is that in the devices section of the k3b configuration it does not think that my drive supports DVD+R(W), but it does think it supports DVD-R(W). However, the hardware does support both, there is no doubt about that. Could this be related to the problem somehow?
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I've got a spindle of DVD+Rs and I don't want them to be useless to me. |

Apreche, to be quite honest I'm not sure how K3B would even know the difference between DVD+R's or DVD-R's. I think that is completely handled by the hardware.
Did you try running growisofs via the command line and burning a DVD? I've burnt DVD+R's, DVD-R's and DVD+RW's and I've never noticed anything different in the output of growisofs. Also, I never set the speed of the burn process. Again, this is something the hardware should figure out. |

no its not. with
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
you invoke a special instance of the -Z option, which tells it to the image is already mastered. growisofs acts as a frontend for mkisofs, so if you write
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd image.iso you will write the .iso as a data file, as it will be remastered with mkisofs as data, rather than as a dvd movie.
@Apreche: I too would suggest burning a +r from command line and seeing what it says. if you can burn +rw, you can burn +r. there is a hardware difference, but there is also a software difference. for example, dvdrtools which yields dvdrecord only supports -r; you CANNOT burn +r with it.
I am still learning about all this myself, but I will post back here as I learn more. Cheers |
