Hp dvd100i writer
Hello! I'm looking for a as cheap as possible dvd recorder and I've come with this new hp product. Is there any chance to use it on a Linux machine? I don't know much about cd and dvd writers, so I wonder is there any common interface that this products use? Or you must write a driver for each specific cd/dvd writer? If I can't use this dvd writer, please tell me what are the alternatives. Thanks, Nicolae Mihalache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Cdrecord--ProDVD test versions
Hello! After a lot of search and frustation about writing DVD on Linux, I decided to write my own free driver for cdrecord. The big problem is documentation that I don't have and I can only base my driver on last MMC3 draft from t10.org. The driver should be almost ready, but I did not test it in real mode because I just bought my drive and I have no DVD-RW yet. Anyway maybe today I will purchase a DVD-RW and do some more tests and monday I will release the patch. You can help me to test it more, maybe with other drives because I only have Pioneer A03 and Suse Linux 7.1 and eventualy Soalaris 2.6. mache [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Why not 4.7 GB in real mode? > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

dvd patch. help nedeed
Hello! As promised last week, I've made a patch that adds dvd writing support to cdrecord. You can take it from here: http://www.abcpages.com/~mache/cdrecord-dvd.html The big missing things from this patch are multi-session support and incremental writing. Please tell me if any of you can use the windows program shipped with the drive to create multi-session dvds. If so, it means that my drive is broken. If you don't succeed either it means that all Pioneers drives are broken :) Please report me any success or failure you have with this patch.

dvd patch
Hello again! After some research, I've discovered the black magic needed to use multi-session and incremental writing on DVD. Unfortunately I have problems adding incremental support because of the actual architecture of cdrecord which is too CD oriented. The problems I have: 1. if I use -packet to specify packet/incremental write mode, cdrecord complains that TAO mode is not supported. 2. in DAO mode cdrecord incorrectly assume that the write address should be negative for pregap to be written. There is no pregap on DVD. And also no CUE Sheet to be sent. 3. cdrecord gets the number of the tracks on the disk and other information from TOC. On dvd the TOC is fabricated and these numbers are not valid. The point is that I did not want to modify the cdrecord generic part in my first patch, but now I can't do that anymore. Otherwise the incremental writing and multi-session will not work. I really expect that this patch will be included in cdrecord since it will do something that dvdpro does not. Joerg, I wait for a nice answer from you this time. Thanks, mache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have 2 DVD-ROM and one Pioneer A03. The DVD-RW I wrote were only readable by both DVD-ROM only after first write. When I try to read a DVD-RW that has been written twice, I get "no medium found" error on both DVD-ROM. So DVD-R may be compatible with many drives but DVD-RW are not. This is an example of report that can be very easily biased. Maybe it is the same for DVD+RW disks, they are only readable after first write, and the person who tested has used new DVD-RW but old DVD+RW. mache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Can you reuse it in other drives than Pioneer A03? Maybe is just after a full blank that they become unreadable in other drives. The truth is that now I have 2 DVD-RW that are not readable in any of DVD-ROMs I have. Of course they are readable in Pioneer A03 drive.

Quote from mmc specs: >>> 13.11.3.7 Write Parameters Mode Page The values in this Page do not necessarily reflect the status on a given medium. They will be used as applicable when a write operation occurs. If any parameters have values incompatible with the current medium, the Logical Unit shall generate a CHECK CONDITION Status, 5/64/00 ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK when a write is attempted. >>> So the drive reports that mode even if the mode is not supported for the media inside. But we need only those modes that are supported for the media inside. Anyway, this does not answer to my question about packet and TAO. Is it true that if TAO is not supported and packet is, the cdrecord will refuse to use packet with the error "drive does not support TAO recording" ? I think so. Is just that all CD writers that support packet support TAO as well. This is not true for DVD. mache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That error is generated because you have retried the same write command after it succeeded. It takes so long to do the first write because it first has to write the Lead in area and only after that it will write the data from cache. After the Lead In is written the write will go much faster, about 1.35MB/s for 1x. Nicolae -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

How about cdrecord_dvdhack > You must admit that: cdrecord_dvdhack and cdrecord_prodvdhack look very similar. And you also must admit that many people think that hack=crack. So in the end the result will be cdrecord-prodvdCrack, ie a cracked version of cdrecord-prodvd which is not true at all. How about cdrecord-openDVD or cdrecord-freeDVD? mache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: CDRecord-ProDVD
ProDVD version can be obtained only speaking with Joerg. You may want to try my (free) version of dvd support from http://www.abcpages.com/~mache/cdrecord-dvd.html.

You also should non be unfair Is rather that you have posted the prodvd version on the website one week after I anounced that I'm working on a version of cdrecord that supports A103 drive. I had no problem implementing support for DAO mode, it is rather simple if you read the necessary documentation. But I had problems implementing multisession support.Keiji Katata from Pioneer Japan was the one that helped me in implementing this driver. But it was no magic, like you said I only did 10% of the job, the rest was already done in cdrecord. mache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
