Re: Layer Break positioning in DL DVD-Video recordings

2004-07-19 Thread Joerg Schilling
From: Andy Polyakov [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Layer Break positioning in Double Layer DVD-Video recordings presents 
certain challenge. The trouble is that we have three rather loose 
components which need to work together: 1) DVD-Video content preparation 
program, something similar to dvdauthor 2) file system layout generator, 
mkisofs in our case and 3) a recording program. Ultimately it's content 
preparation program responsibility to pick the Layer Break point. Then 
file system layout generator has to make sure that it's aligned at DVD 
ECC block boundary of 32KB and perhaps even that it resides in second 
half of the image. Finally recording  program has to pass it down to 
burner unit.


--- ./mkisofs/write.c.orig Wed Jul 14 18:28:41 2004
+++ ./mkisofs/write.c  Fri Jul 16 23:04:20 2004

There is no original write.c with date Wed Jul 14 18:28:41 2004

This is the latest:

-r--r--r--   1 joergbs 68378 Jul  9 14:59 write.c


BTW: as cdrtools-2.01a34 is the first release candidat for 2.01-final,
it is impossible to include similar changes now.

Re: remove the pointless delay

2004-07-19 Thread Joerg Schilling
From: Volker Kuhlmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Me too. The delay is good some of the time, simply annoying at other
times.

 Unless it has been removed, there should be an option for
 gracetimer.
 Read the docs..

Not a good answer. Using gracetime=0 still enforces a minimum of two
seconds. The docs don't mention this fact (is that a bug by omission?).
Any chance of a change Jörg? When I say 0, then generally I mean 0, not
2.

It is definitely not the first time that I answer this question:

-   The crive needs far more than 2 seconds to initialze.

-   2 seconds is far less than 1% of the total time.

-   If the time is reduced, cdrecord will no longer work
properly with respect to all supported funtionality.

Well, I must have omitted -p when making reference copy of write.c. My 
'md5sum ./mkisofs/write.c.orig' is 9dbbf9db225d6e2fc5ef5545d8851540 and 
I bet the copy you're referring to has the same. Once again, the main 
idea behind this initial submission is to have public audit, test and 
iron the framework code. So I'd really rather discuss technical issues 
than checksums:-)

Then I suppose I have to maintain the patch on my page... A.

The original discussion suggested that another process might be accessing 
the drive. I suggested using lsof to see if there was such a process. I 
didn't add or delete you from the original list of recipients as it came
