Dual-Layer DVD Burn Failure
Hello - I'm having some issues burning a dual-layer DVD. Yesterday I burnt my last DVD+R DL disc (Memorex 2.4x) so I got another pack of essentially the same, though this was rated at 8x. It looks like that's the one difference between the two packs of discs. Now, whenever I try to burn to these new discs, I get the following, apparently right around the layer split: 50.08% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 10 12:28:35 2008 :-[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error :-( write failed: Input/output error I know that this corresponds to POWER CALIBRATION AREA ERROR but that doesn't help much... I've found plenty of other references to this error online, but it looks like all of those are happening at LBA=0h, right at the start of the disc, not at the layer transition. Since my previous discs were just 2.4x, they were getting burnt at a slower rate. I can't get these discs to burn at anything other than 4.1x, though. I've tried -speed 1 and -speed 2 but growisofs always reports: /dev/dvd: splitting layers at 2061632 blocks /dev/dvd: Current Write Speed is 4.1x1352KBps. 0.12% done, estimate finish Thu Jan 10 18:26:46 2008 Nothing shows up in dmesg during the burn process. Mostly I'd just really like to find a way to force the burn process to go slower. It seems that the most major thing that's changed is that it's trying to burn faster, which I don't really care about. If I could get it to burn at 2x (I'd even settle for 1x at this point) and have it work, I'd be fine with that.

Well, I wish I would have thought of that before putting that whole post together, instead of right at the end before I sent it off. I upgraded my drive's firmware from 1.02 to 1.04, and it burned the disc properly. So, clearly my firmware just needed a kicking. Works like a charm now.

Ah, yes, that's what I meant, and what I was actually using. Chalk that up to a transcription error while writing the email. :) This is one of the rare times I would agree with Joerg that trying cdrecord is desirable, even though there may be a need to create a huge ISO image and burn from that. I have not had a problem with either program, but without some effort I can't tell you which drives and media I've been using, as I'm not on the right machines. Yeah, no worries. As I just put through, it turns out that a firmware upgrade on the burner itself did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion, though. -CJ -- WOW: Flemmy| The ships hung in the sky in much the same [EMAIL PROTECTED] |way that bricks don't. - Douglas Adams, 24.24.2.3171 | _The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy_ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: dvd+rw-mediainfo does not return enough data on DVD-R
Inlined.

Hi,
Running `dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw
RANDOM_STRINGS`, per the source code and miscellaneous posts
scattered across the web, returns a lot of debugging data. When
dvd+rw-mediainfo returns the media code, the equivalent to the ATIP
information for a DVD, it only returns 44 (4+40) bytes for a DVD-R[W].
I assume you mean this:
READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0eh]: 00 6c 00 00 01 40 c1 fd 9e d8 52 00 02 87 0d
13 87 88 90 00 03 52 49 54 45 4b 46 00 04 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 88 80 00 00
00 02 00
Media ID: RITEKF1
Precisely.
It _shows_ 44 bytes.
But the first two of them say that there are further 6*16+12
= 108 bytes available. My understanding of the source is that
this amount of 110 bytes is also requested for the reply.
Does anyone have an idea at what the official length of the media code is?
In MMC-5, the specs of command ADh READ DISC STRUCTURE
tell in 6.23.3.2.14 Format Code 0Eh about 4 header bytes
and 64 bytes of DVD-R Pre-recorded Information Structure.
The first two of the header bytes are not included in the
count. So it rather should be 66 = 42h.
No idea why it is 108 = 6Ch with my RITEKF1 DVD-R.
If i change
for (j=0,i=dvd_dash?sizeof(dvd._e):sizeof(dvd._11);ji;j++)
to
for (j=0; jlen; j++)
then i get
READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0eh]: 00 6c 00 00 01 40 c1 fd 9e d8 52 00 02 87 0d
13 87 88 90 00 03 52 49 54 45 4b 46 00 04 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 88 80 00 00
00 02 00 06 09 0f 15 87 88 90 00 07 a8 82 00 20 00 00 00 08 06 16 10 14 0f 0b
00 09 94 07 0d 0b 88 88 00 0a 80 00 00 00 00 10 00 0b 09 1e 17 a7 89 85 00 0c
b7 89 02 00 20 02 00 0d 00 00 d0 00 00 00 00 0e 0c
I just changed line 356 in dvd+rw-mediainfo.cpp from
{ union { unsigned char _e[4+40],_11[4+256]; } dvd;
to
{ union { unsigned char _e[4+48],_11[4+256]; } dvd;
and I got more than enough information for what I was doing. Thanks
for the info. I'll have to retweak my copy again.
The format of the 64 bytes after the first 4 seems
to be defined in ECMA-279, 28.3.2.1 RMD Field 0,
table 20 Copy of Pre-pit Information.
One has to subtract 22 of the BP numbers and then
gets the 4+index numbers as in these source lines out of
dvd+rw-mediainfo.cpp :
if (!dvd_plus dvd_0E dvd._e[4+16]==3 dvd._e[4+24]==4)
printf ( Media ID: %6.6s%-6.6s\n,dvd._e+4+17,dvd._e+4+25)
I.e. they look for field id 3 and 4 and print the
manufacturer ids from these fields.
I don't understand the 22 or BP part but I completely understand the
rest of it. It seems to be a simple format of 4B header then indices
of 6B fields.
Have a nice day :)
