K3B fails to burn DVDs, works ok for CD's

scharkalvin

I used to be able to create dvd's and burn them.

BTW I think my setup is actually creating a CD file system
of a DVD size instead of a true DVD file system. (Must have
the wrong tools installed).

I can burn a cd iso (to a cd-r disk) but I can't
burn a DVD-R disk. The drive IS a DVD ± R/RW DL drive.

Getting the following debug output:

Any ideas? (This used to work, recent upgrade of something must have
caused this. I also tried this as root, same thing.

Have you tried ?

I got the very same problem in AMD64. My installed package versions are the same, also.

Why should I install the masked dvdrtools when k3b is emerged with dvdr support (I'm just asking, not arguing

):

Try running this before you burn:

I've had the same or similar problem. It couldn't burn dvd's and cd's -rw. unmerged k3b and now I'am using cdrecord from command line. It seems that it is only option for me to burn cd's and dvd's with gentoo. Unfortunately I didn't know that I can burn dvd's with cdrecord and spend a lot of time trying growisofs, cdrecord-ProDVD and dvdrecord. None has worked, except cdrecord as I mentioned.

It seams I have the same problem but I could not solve it downgrading to dvd+rw-tools-6.0.
I would like to try to burn directly with cdrecord but I get error.
Sorry if I ask your support for this but
what is the exact command?

thx

I'm having the same problem with my amd64 pc.

Here's my output:

Yukimura--

That's right, you don't need dvdrtools. Did you notice that my post referred to app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools ? It is a dependency of k3b.

"I would like to try to burn directly with cdrecord but I get error. "

This is what I use:

For dvd rw
cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 driveropts=burnfree -sao /home/d3n/Desktop/JavaTut.iso

For cd rw:
cdrecord dev=b,t,l -sao blank=fast -v xx.iso

Blanking DVD-RW
cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=4 driveropts=burnfree -sao blank=fast

check "HOWTO ATAPI CD Burning" in gentoo wiki.

I tried the cdrecord way but failed again:

here is the output:

deno · Guru Joined: 13 Sep 2006 Posts: 411

Well 'cdrecord -scanbus' gives me '0,0,0 0) 'ATA ' 'WDC WD2500JD-00H' '08.0' Disk'. And again I use ATAPI instead of ATA and it works. Yes, I noticed that if I want to burn cd than I can not use that option, instead i type dev=/dev/hda or dev=b,t,l.

OK but that's the output when I try with ATAPI:

Installing the unstable version of dvd+rw-tools (7.0) took care of this problem for me.

Paul Yard · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 29 Mar 2005 Posts: 106

The problem is still there with dvd+rw-tools-7.0:

deno · Guru Joined: 13 Sep 2006 Posts: 411

... did you try with dev=/dev/hda (or whatever)

The idea seems to be good but:

Have you tried with different kernel? You could also try some other tools. check this wiki article:

I'v tried with windoz and ...... surprise!!! It does not work too!
I argue it's an hardware problem.
Sorry for the time you lost to help me.
I'll repair the hardware and see if the problem is still there.

Thx

Just a little addition to the thread....

I had issues burning DVDs in K3B originally.. my solution was to go to
Settings -> Configure K3B -> Advanced -> Manually Writing Buffer Size -> 2MB

Might help some of you, might not.
