Re: Burning a Windows / DVD player compatible DVD
Thanks to everyone for the replies. I believe I have now produced a DVD which works (plays in Linux, Windows and my DVD player - something that I haven't had before) and I've asked some other people to test it to check if it works on their players. This was produced by following Joerg's instructions. If that doesn't work, I think I now understand what might be going wrong and how to further investigate and then hopefully fix the problem - so thanks everyone.

Burning a Windows / DVD player compatible DVD
Hi, I'm really struggling with this whole compatible DVD thing. For my amateur dramatics group, I have produced a DVD of our show, including menus and all sorts of fun like that. The DVD plays perfectly with "xine dvd://video/dvd". I have burned the DVD in many different ways, such as "growisofs -dvd-compat -dvd-video -Z /dev/scd1 ." and most of the ways I burn it will work perfectly on my panasonic DVD player. However, when I distributed these DVD's to other people, I have received reports that they don't work on Windows machines (they apparently show up as a blank DVD), Mac's (similar I guess - but no detail on that) or some DVD drives (which just refuse to read them). I believe the DVD that was written that works on Linux and my DVD player is using the UDF file system, but several real DVD's I have use iso9660. I tried burning it with iso9660 (actually using gnomebaker) and that fails to play on my DVD player, but it is recognised and can be played by a windows computer. I'm currently using DVD-R disks, which I understood to be more likely compatible with DVD players (although I may have that wrong because http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ suggests that DVD+R disks are more compatible). In case it is useful, I have pasted the output of dvd+rw-mediainfo for one of the burned DVD's at http://pastebin.com/m7479a9c Could anyone suggest how I should be burning these DVD's to ensure they are compatible with both windows and more DVD players?

can't read DVD+RW in Sony DW-G120A immediately after growisofs
I'm now quite confused. I'm attempting to use a Sony DW-G120A DVD+-RW which I have mounted in an external USB chassis. I have successfully burned CD-RWs with cdrecord, but am having no luck burning a DVD+RW. I have formatted two different DVD+RW blank and tried to record with what appears to be no success. I can not read the recorded DVD+RWs in a DVD-ROM drive in my laptop. nile:509 $ cat /dev/hdc | file - cat: /dev/hdc: No medium found (perhaps that drive is just stupid) I can read a commercial video DVD in the USB-attached Sony DW-G120A. I can burn a DVD-R in the Sony, I can read that DVD-R in both the Sony and in my laptop DVD-ROM (and play it with ogle). I am not experienced enough to figure out what is going wrong with the DVD+RW. dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8 alexandria 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 # uname -a Linux alexandria 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 #14 Tue Jun 13 22:57:38 EDT 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ GNU/Linux alexandria dvd+rw-tools # cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01.01a06 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2006 Jörg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.5.33 Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'. scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SONY' 'DVD RW DW-G120A ' 'MYS2' Removable CD-ROM alexandria dvd+rw-tools # dvd+rw-format /dev/sr0 * DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.10. * 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected. * formatting 92.3| alexandria 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 # growisofs -speed 8 -Z /dev/scd0=/home/thoth/music.iso Executing 'builtin_dd if=/home/thoth/music.iso of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0' /dev/scd0: "Current Write Speed" is 2.5x1385KBps. 2392064/628006912 ( 0.4%) @0.3x, remaining 26:09 5111808/628006912 ( 0.8%) @0.6x, remaining 20:18 7929856/628006912 ( 1.3%) @0.6x, remaining 16:56 10649600/628006912 ( 1.7%) @0.6x, remaining 16:25 13467648/628006912 ( 2.1%) @0.6x, remaining 15:12 15990784/628006912 ( 2.5%) @0.5x, remaining 14:40 18776064/628006912 ( 3.0%) @0.6x, remaining 14:36 21594112/628006912 ( 3.4%) @0.6x, remaining 14:02 24379392/628006912 ( 3.9%) @0.6x, remaining 13:37 ... 598376448/628006912 (95.3%) @0.6x, remaining 0:39 601161728/628006912 (95.7%) @0.6x, remaining 0:35 603914240/628006912 (96.2%) @0.6x, remaining 0:32 60752/628006912 (96.6%) @0.6x, remaining 0:28 609452032/628006912 (97.0%) @0.6x, remaining 0:24 612171776/628006912 (97.5%) @0.6x, remaining 0:21 614989824/628006912 (97.9%) @0.6x, remaining 0:17 617807872/628006912 (98.4%) @0.6x, remaining 0:13 620560384/628006912 (98.8%) @0.6x, remaining 0:09 623280128/628006912 (99.2%) @0.6x, remaining 0:06 625868800/628006912 (99.7%) @0.5x, remaining 0:02 builtin_dd: 306656*2KB out @ average 0.5x1385KBps /dev/scd0: flushing cache /dev/scd0: stopping de-icing /dev/scd0: writing lead-out /dev/scd0: reloading tray alexandria 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 # cat /dev/scd0 | file - cat: /dev/scd0: Input/output error /dev/stdin: empty alexandria 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 # dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 INQUIRY:[SONY][DVD RW DW-G120A ][MYS2] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 1Ah, DVD+RW Media ID: OPTODISC/OP1 Current Write Speed: 2.4x1385=3324KB/s Write Speed #0:2.0x1385=2770KB/s GET [CURRENT] PERFORMANCE: Write Performance: 2.4x1385=3324KB/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> 0] Speed Descriptor#0:00/0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 92h, DVD+RW book [revision 2] 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 Free Blocks: 2295104*2KB Track Size:2295104*2KB READ CAPACITY: 1*2048=2048 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I bought a new DVD burner and all is well again. Burned my first CD-R in quite a while and it's fine. So it was hardware failure rather than software - it was just strange that the more demanding DVD was working and not the CD-R, but there you go.

Re: CD-RW mayhem
An update on my Inspiron 8100 Matsushita UJDA330 CD-RW woes: I got my hands on some different media. This was some pathetic no-name crap that doesn't have a bit of printing on it (fingerprints show up beautifully), but my UJDA was able to re-write it several times. The drive is clearly biased against the Memorex CD-RWs. When I told Dell, they offered to replace the CD-RW drive. When I get the replacement unit and perform the swap, I'll see if it can use the Memorex CD-RWs properly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Holy shit, you have a Matsushita too? Is it a UJDA330 Rev 1.50? If so, then either my particular drive is defective, or it's the same-IDE channel that is a problem (either a problem for that model of drive, or a problem for all drives). > So I've > nothing on the same channel.

Unfortunately, with a laptop, you don't have much choice about which IDE channel your drives are connected to. The IDE channel freeze is apparrently an unavoidable thing. My inability to re-write all of a CD-RW I think is an actual problem. I'm going to try to get Dell to give me a drive that works, whether that means replacing the internal, or just giving me a bay-based CD-RW. Action items for y'all: I recommend that the cdrecord manual page be augmented with a few sentences about how fixation and "blank=" will seize control of the IDE channel, preventing access to any other device on the channel until the operation is complete (mildly irritating for fixation and blank=fast; excruciating disdain-inducing for blank=all). There should be a reference in the blank= paragraph and a special note beside blank=all. Add a few same-channel configurations to your test suite (preferrably /dev/hdb). It may be a bad choice for a desktop machine, but you don't often have a choice with a laptop. Perhaps you can find a way to reproduce this problem and hopefully solve it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you saying that you can do a blank=all without having all accesses to the HD block until the blank is complete? Whenever I do a blank=all, some programs keep working, but if I do anything that I know accesses the disk, that process blocks until the blank operation is complete. I can also freeze programs that would otherwise work by telling them to access the disk.

BTW, this makes the machine unusable for more than 15 minutes (the duration of the blanking operation), probably because the CD-RW is on the same channel as the HD. It still fails almost every time (I think I have had ONE success re-recording with these Memorex CD-RWs. I can't remember if it was with blank=all or not).

Since the only other recorder I own is an old external SCSI CD-R (vintage 1999) I have very little experience with failed CD burns. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

CDrtools 1.11a17 [root@herakleion zim]# uname -a Linux herakleion.purplefrog.com 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 i686 unknown [root@herakleion zim]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma) I'm having poor luck re-writing CD-RWs. I almost always get errors when burning to CD-RW media. I can rarely record a full image. I have succeeded with fresh (un-recorded) CD-RWs, and once with a used CD-RW. Failures happen whether I am actively using the machine or not (I can go to bed with an image burning, and wake up to a failure message and a disk whose tail end is un-readable) I have burned two successful CD-Rs, and one coaster. Other non-critical problems: This is a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop, and the stinking CD drive is on the same IDE controller as the hard drive. While blanking or fixating, the machine is unable to access the hard drive, and any program which attempts to access the hard drive will freeze until the blanking operation is complete. For a blank=all, I have time to go to lunch. While recording data, I can read mail, surf and do other stuff, though. I have not yet attempted a cdrecord from single-user mode (no daemons running).

I may have a problem....
Hello! I am on FreeBSD-4.1.1. I recently upgraded cdrecord to version 1.9 and mkisofs to release 1.13. All of a sudden, I can no longer build correct bootable CD's. The burn is OK, but when they boot they are corrupted. This is the same script I have been using for over a year. In fact the image is an old one No sure what is going on. Any other complaints? I am at whits end. The drive is an HP-4020i. Nothing else has changed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Bob Liotta Mad Scientist p: 203-578-4475 f: 203-597-5364 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
