Hello I'm trying to growisofs burn Moviestyle dvds with mixed results. I've already used another brand of DVD (prodye) without a problem. I was ready to dismiss the Moviestyle dvd as junk, but the tests I ran with these DVDs shows that the problem is not so clear-cut.
First the short story: For a dvd written with -dvd-compat - burning goes well - Then, I can mount and read the dvd in the writer (before ejecting the media) - Then I eject and reload the dvd. - Then, I can no longer mount the dvd in the dvd-writer. I get a lot of I/O and IDE errors in kern.log. dvd+rw-mediainfo also fails - But I can mount the dvd in a dvd-rom drive on the same machine. dvd+rw-mediainfo returns consistent results Without dvd-compat, I get the same problem with the dvd-writer. On top of that, mounting the dvd in the dvd-rom drives works but I get a lot of IDE errors in kern.log. In this case dvd+rw-mediainfo returns consistent results. Since there are huge difference in IDE between 2.4 and 2.6, I've tested the burnt dvd in 2.4.17: The same dvd will mount without error with linux 2.4.27 in the dvd-rom drive. But I still cannot mount it in the dvd-writer drive. At this this point, I still don't know if: - the Moviestyle dvds are bad - growisofs has a bug - My DVR-106D dvd-writer has a bug (although i've the latest official version of the firmware) - IDE layer in 2.6 has a bug. Or if it's a mixed bag of bugs :-/ Here the setup of my machine: * PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D on hdc * HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7500 on hdd Here's the long story with much more details (and logs): -> First here are the media info on a blank dvd: $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][DVD-RW DVR-106D][1.07] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 1Bh, DVD+R Current Write Speed: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #0: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #1: 2.4x1385=3324KB/s Speed Descriptor#0: 00/2295103 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/2295103 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: A1h, DVD+R book [revision 1] Media ID: IS01/001 Legacy lead-out at: 2295104*2KB=4700372992 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: blank Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 2295104*2KB Track Size: 2295104*2KB READ CAPACITY: 1*2048=2048 -> I burn it with growisofs with dvd-compat mode $ growisofs -Z /dev/hdc -dvd-compat -R -J <some files> Executing 'mkisofs -R -J <some files> | builtin_dd of=/dev/hdc obs=32k seek=0' INFO: ISO-8859-15 character encoding detected by locale settings.
