Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
Ok. The media I bought are as follow: - TDK DVD-RW single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-2x; - TDK DVD-R single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-4x. Is there anything wrong whith these types of media? Advices? The medium quality should be OK. So it should become usable by cdrecord after you did run cdrecord blank=full on it... It is what I think, but when I tried: - either dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0; - or ./cdrecord-wrapper.sh -v -blank=all dev=3,0,0. I get some errors. In the case of cdrecord, it was about the fact that there is no support for autosense logic in my particular OS release... as you pointed it in past posts (related bug recently fixed in the development branch). As you may have noticed on another post, I gave a try to -CURRENT and fall with an usable FreeBSD system. I had to restore it completely. Hey, it's an active development branch after all! ;) In the meantime, and just to inform the list for my different tests, I tried to adapt the modified part for the fixed device from the -CURRENT tree... without success though (but as I'm not a developer...) :( Thanks, -- -jpeg. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
Hello, I am using a TEAC DV-W22E R.0A on my notebook, which is a all in one CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW player and writer.

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you ever did format it, you _need_ to run cdrecord blank=full to make it usable again. I get the following error trying to blank the DVD-RW media: You areusing a defektive kernel! Your kernel does not implement ATAPI CAP auto sense which is required. Upgrade to a fixed kernel Ouch! If you really mean emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI ditto via CAM, i.e. the 'device atapicam' in kernel config file: it IS present. I think I already use this _facility_ through cdrecord. As I say, I already write CD-R (cdrecord) / write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord) / write DVD-R (growisofs) which all use the device /dev/cd0: CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem.

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you need information about FreeBSD kernel bugs, ask the FreeBSD kernel team! You definitely need to replace your kernel with a working one! Ok, I understand that you are *not* responsible for the FreeBSD part, but since you said it is a FreeBSD kernel bug and since you provide a binary version of cdrecord-ProDVD which match the OS version with wich I get a problem, I just ask what is wrong. Maybe providing the different information/configuration used to buid this particular program may help me to found what I misunderstood?

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E withdvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you need information about FreeBSD kernel bugs, ask the FreeBSD kernel team! You definitely need to replace your kernel with a working one! There was a deficiency in kernel that it does not provided sense codes automatically, as required by specifications. This problem was fixed in CVS, but 5.2 and 5.2.1 releases does contain this problem. This explains the kernel bug answer... :( dvd+rw-tools were teached to obtain sense information from kernel manually, so they fully work on 5.2.1. cdrecord relies on working autosense and thus don't work on 5.2.1. I already try to use dvd+rw-tools according to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-dvds.html But here is what I get: # dvd+rw-format -force /dev/cd0 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9. :-( failed to locate Quick Format descriptor. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * formatting |:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h] :Input/output error Or: # dvd+rw-format -blank=all /dev/cd0 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9. :-( failed to locate Quick Format descriptor. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * blanking .:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h] :Input/output error If I can understand the problem relating to the internal bug with the FreeBSD kernel (and not using cdrecord-proDVD), what may be wrong here?

In this particular case: a choice between FreeBSD-CURRENT + cdrecord-proDVD or FreeBSD-5.2.1 + dvd+rw-tools I would prefer the second choice: staying with the OS release branch.

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you're new to the list, you'll find that Joerg is quite vocal regarding OS's that are not his favorite... Unfortunately, inspite of I don't have favorite OS, but I don't like kernel teams that piss at you which is only the case for Linux! FreeBSD developers usually take care about problems. I don't know however why they did introduce a fatal bug that they should know about even before testing. Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations. If cdrecord did work with the buggy OS, it was pure luck. That is well noted. the fact that you get a binary executable from him, you'll get little else in the way of assistance regarding your current problems without further abuse, although others on the list might prove to be helpful. Your message is not helpful at all! Why did you send it? But WHY do you try to denegrative me? Cdrecord is tested and knowmn to work. If it fails, it is usually caused by other circumstances. If people like the OP do not even provide the minimum information which is documented here: http://www.fokus.fhg.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/ private/problems.html it is hard to help. I though I provide it in the second reply. Sorry for the mistake in the first post. please note that I did give hine the right answer very quickly. If he does not like this answer, it is his problem only! I have no problem other than my DVD writer. I just wanted to know why the program provided isn't working for me. I now have an answer, not very good for me :), but that is the answer. And thanks for the prompt reply. -- -jpeg. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E withdvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If I can understand the problem relating to the internal bug with the FreeBSD kernel (and not using cdrecord-proDVD), what may be wrong here? Am I missing something? The help here is not easy. I'd suggest you to upgrade to -CURRENT, if you're ready to face all the possible problem of running CVS code. ... not really. In this particular case: a choice between FreeBSD-CURRENT + cdrecord-proDVD or FreeBSD-5.2.1 + dvd+rw-tools I would prefer the second choice: staying with the OS release branch. This sounds strange! Why do you like to stay with a broken OS and as a result not being able to use youe hardware? Because this is a _release_, and running the -CURRENT (CVS) version seems to me more dangerous than staying with this version. Note that the release may be buggy for some part (as for the point here) but not for others. Other than this particular problem, I'm very happy with this FreeBSD-RELEASE. But I understand your point of view. My question now is: If I understand why cdrecord-DVD isn't working whith this release; why seems it not working with dvd+rwtools too? In addition, you should have noted immediately after upgrading to the broken OS release and send out a bug report as well as downgraded back to the previous release. The notebook, in which there is the DVD writer I want to use, is relatively new... and I never had a DVD writer before. On the other hand, Pav Lucistnik has explained that this was corrected for now, so... It seems that you did not use cdrecord but dvd+rwtools and for this reason did not realize your problems early enough... I try to use dvd+rwtools in the first place because I follow the directions provided by the FreeBSD Handbook and because there is a FreeBSD port in order to managed its installation/upgrade process. Since it seems not to run as expected for me, I searched an other tool, and because I was very happy with cdrecord for CD-R/-RW in the past, I decided to give a try to cdrecord-proDVD (even if there is not a port yet: this is the reason for using the binary version of this program).

Note that you'll hit this problem on CD-R too, and dvd+rw-tools don't do CD-R. Can you blank a CD-RW using cdrecord? Does cdrdao works for you? There are no alternatives to these programs. Maybe I will reconsider my position on using the -RELEASE. As I said before: maybe this will resolve this particular problem, but running a -CURRENT has some other disavantages!... :-\ Because this is related to a bug, is it not possible to integrate a patch for this in the security advisories and other critical fixes branch for RELENG_5_2?

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you ever did format it, you _need_ to run cdrecord blank=full to make it usable again. I get the following error trying to blank the DVD-RW media: You areusing a defektive kernel! Your kernel does not implement ATAPI CAP auto sense which is required. Upgrade to a fixed kernel Ouch! If you really mean emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI ditto via CAM, i.e. the 'device atapicam' in kernel config file: it IS present. I think I already use this _facility_ through cdrecord. As I say, I already write CD-R (cdrecord) / write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord) / write DVD-R (growisofs) which all use the device /dev/cd0: CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem.

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you need information about FreeBSD kernel bugs, ask the FreeBSD kernel team! You definitely need to replace your kernel with a working one! Ok, I understand that you are *not* responsible for the FreeBSD part, but since you said it is a FreeBSD kernel bug and since you provide a binary version of cdrecord-ProDVD which match the OS version with wich I get a problem, I just ask what is wrong. Maybe providing the different information/configuration used to buid this particular program may help me to found what I misunderstood? Thanks a lot for your replies, -- -jpeg.
Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If you're new to the list, you'll find that Joerg is quite vocal regarding OS's that are not his favorite... Unfortunately, inspite of I don't have favorite OS, but I don't like kernel teams that piss at you which is only the case for Linux! FreeBSD developers usually take care about problems. I don't know however why they did introduce a fatal bug that they should know about even before testing. Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations. If cdrecord did work with the buggy OS, it was pure luck. That is well noted. the fact that you get a binary executable from him, you'll get little else in the way of assistance regarding your current problems without further abuse, although others on the list might prove to be helpful. Your message is not helpful at all! Why did you send it? But WHY do you try to denegrative me? Cdrecord is tested and knowmn to work. If it fails, it is usually caused by other circumstances. If people like the OP do not even provide the minimum information which is documented here: http://www.fokus.fhg.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/ private/problems.html it is hard to help. I though I provide it in the second reply. Sorry for the mistake in the first post. please note that I did give hine the right answer very quickly. If he does not like this answer, it is his problem only! I have no problem other than my DVD writer. I just wanted to know why the program provided isn't working for me. I now have an answer, not very good for me :), but that is the answer. And thanks for the prompt reply. -- -jpeg.
Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E withdvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
If I can understand the problem relating to the internal bug with the FreeBSD kernel (and not using cdrecord-proDVD), what may be wrong here? Am I missing something? The help here is not easy. I'd suggest you to upgrade to -CURRENT, if you're ready to face all the possible problem of running CVS code. ... not really. In this particular case: a choice between FreeBSD-CURRENT + cdrecord-proDVD or FreeBSD-5.2.1 + dvd+rw-tools I would prefer the second choice: staying with the OS release branch. This sounds strange! Why do you like to stay with a broken OS and as a result not being able to use youe hardware? Because this is a _release_, and running the -CURRENT (CVS) version seems to me more dangerous than staying with this version. Note that the release may be buggy for some part (as for the point here) but not for others. Other than this particular problem, I'm very happy with this FreeBSD-RELEASE. But I understand your point of view. My question now is: If I understand why cdrecord-DVD isn't working whith this release; why seems it not working with dvd+rwtools too? In addition, you should have noted immediately after upgrading to the broken OS release and send out a bug report as well as downgraded back to the previous release. The notebook, in which there is the DVD writer I want to use, is relatively new... and I never had a DVD writer before. On the other hand, Pav Lucistnik has explained that this was corrected for now, so... It seems that you did not use cdrecord but dvd+rwtools and for this reason did not realize your problems early enough... I try to use dvd+rwtools in the first place because I follow the directions provided by the FreeBSD Handbook and because there is a FreeBSD port in order to managed its installation/upgrade process. Since it seems not to run as expected for me, I searched an other tool, and because I was very happy with cdrecord for CD-R/-RW in the past, I decided to give a try to cdrecord-proDVD (even if there is not a port yet: this is the reason for using the binary version of this program). That's all. Thanks for your answers, -- -jpeg.
Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E withdvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
I already try to use dvd+rw-tools according to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ creating-dvds.html But here is what I get: # dvd+rw-format -force /dev/cd0 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9. :-( failed to locate Quick Format descriptor. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * formatting |:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h] :Input/output error Or: # dvd+rw-format -blank=all /dev/cd0 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9. :-( failed to locate Quick Format descriptor. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * blanking .:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h] :Input/output error If I can understand the problem relating to the internal bug with the FreeBSD kernel (and not using cdrecord-proDVD), what may be wrong here? Am I missing something? I'm not absolutely sure but I guess only growisofs accounts for the kernel deficiency and not dvd+rw-format. Andy? This can explain why I succeed writing a DVD-R using growisofs; but not to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, nor change back to the sequential format using dvd+rw-format. The help here is not easy. I'd suggest you to upgrade to -CURRENT, if you're ready to face all the possible problem of running CVS code. ... not really. In this particular case: a choice between FreeBSD-CURRENT + cdrecord-proDVD or FreeBSD-5.2.1 + dvd+rw-tools I would prefer the second choice: staying with the OS release branch. Other posibilities are running FreeBSD 4.x or avoid using cdrecord. Is there no chance to use FreeBSD-5.2.1 + dvd+rw-tools together? You should really go to a working version of FreeBSD instead. Note that you'll hit this problem on CD-R too, and dvd+rw-tools don't do CD-R. Can you blank a CD-RW using cdrecord? Does cdrdao works for you? There are no alternatives to these programs. Maybe I will reconsider my position on using the -RELEASE. As I said before: maybe this will resolve this particular problem, but running a -CURRENT has some other disavantages!... :-\ Because this is related to a bug, is it not possible to integrate a patch for this in the security advisories and other critical fixes branch for RELENG_5_2? For the second part of your answer, I already succeed to: - write CD-R (cdrecord); - write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord); - write a DVD-R (growisofs). So, as stated by Jörg Schilling in a previous post: Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations. If cdrecord did work with the buggy OS, it was pure luck. Maybe is it some luck, but it seems to run correctly... Thanks, -- -jpeg.
Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E with dvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
Because the three software I try seems not working, I tend to think that this particular writer is not (yet?) supported. Is there something I can do in order to make it working? The fact that you see failed to locate Quick format descriptor alone most likely means that your media is poorly supported by your firmware. Then 3/11/05 L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR doesn't make much sense either... What media is it anyway (see dvd+rw-mediainfo output for Media ID)? Poor media support manifests itself in most bizarre ways. There were reports that DVD-RW media acts as write-once, -twice or three times. In other workds I'd really recommend to test other media brands, preferably explicitly recommended by unit manufacturer, before drawing final conclusions. A. Ok. The media I bought are as follow: - TDK DVD-RW single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-2x; - TDK DVD-R single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-4x. Is there anything wrong whith these types of media? Advices?

Re: Problem using a TEAC DV-W22E withdvd+rw-tools/cdrecord-prodvd/dvdrtools.
Why do you like to stay with a broken OS and as a result not being able to use youe hardware? Because this is a _release_, and running the -CURRENT (CVS) version seems to me more dangerous than staying with this version. Note that the release may be buggy for some part (as for the point here) but not for others. Other than this particular problem, I'm very happy with this FreeBSD-RELEASE. But I understand your point of view. Fact is that you like to use this kernel for CD/DVD writing. As (beacause of named bug) your kernel is absolutely unusable, you have to decide whether you like to keep the broken kernel of whether you like to write CD/DVDs. Ok. I've decided to give a try to -CURRENT in order to be able to write some DVD-RW. Then, and because I seem to be lucky these days, maybe I now have a 'fine' kernel... but I also have a broken system (argh!) :( -- -jpeg.
