Hello List, I am rather new to this video DVD type applications. I have been working with DVD+RW for a couple of years for just normal data applications. I burned a udf DVD-R this morning using growisofs, and the end of the burning output is below. Perhaps someone can enlighten me on why my older drives mount the media OK but my newer drives do not, including the drive that burned the media. The filesystem is a valid DVD mpeg video that does play as designed in my DVD player. Perhaps I should use some more switches on the command line when I burn them for compatibility.
This is also the first time I have seen this behavior. During my learning process of my first DVD creation I burned others before, this same blank media, and they worked OK. I am playing one of them now in the HP 300n drive using xine just to make sure. Ending growisofs output from this morning: 99.89% done, estimate finish Tue Jan 27 08:33:59 2004 Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 4096 Path table size(bytes): 42 Max brk space used 5284 2112384 extents written (4125 Mb) builtin_dd: 2112384*2KB out /dev/scd1: flushing cache /dev/scd1: updating RMA /dev/scd1: closing disc I used the command line: growisofs -Z /dev/scd1 -dvd-video output The output from growisofs above appears normal enough. This DVD will play in my normal DVD player. It will also mount as a UDF file system in two of my HP dvd-writer drives, older 100i units.

I did notice from the units that will acknowledge the media; the older units identify the "mounted media" as 10h DVD-ROM and the Optorite as 11h, DVD-R sequential. I do not know if this is considered normal or not since the HP dvd writers cannot burn DVD-R to start with. But they all should be able to at least read them. Thank you for your consideration of this perplexing problem, at least too me anyway. The software versions are growisofs 5.16 and mkisofs 2.0.3.
