 Please stop your hostile trolling, this is a mailing list to discuss

And the original question was about a CD burning program.

Could you please be more specific what was hostile trolling here
but the fact that I want this list to be open to everyone and every
CD/DVD/BD writing software?

 Note that your mails are called Verleundung unless you _prove_ your claims 

Verleumdung (not Verleundung)

Furthermore, it is *you* who are stating that something is against the law.
AFAIR in all the European law systems (both Latin based on the continent
and Anglosaxian based in the UK) it is still the job of the one
accusing someone to be against the law to provide proofs.

 with facts. So stop mailing or finally prove that the Debian fork is _not_
 in conflict with the GPL and not in conflict with the Copyright law.

As I said, it is *your* job to enforce that if you are so sure about it.
The German courts are open to your suitcases. I will happily follow
them and wish you good luck (not really).

But as long as you do *NOT* have sufficient proof, and putting something
on *your* websites is not sufficient proof, in any reasonable
law system, whatever you say in this respect can be considered Verleumdung.

  If you continue like that I will request to list master to ban you from
  this and other lists hosted here.
 
 I hope that I don't need to ask to ban you, as you are a person that is only 
 known for frequent trolling. So take care and unless you have something 
 substanceful stop posting to this list. 

Good luck, would be the first time (well in fact not, but that has different
reasons) that a DD is banned from a Debian hosted mailing list.

So please, go ahead, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I will enjoy the fun of it!

Now there is an implementation everyone can take without the need to

Here we go. That is open source. And Thomas (a lot) and I (a bit)

And the best of all, no need from you to answer on any announcement

So there is also an advantage for you (aren't we nice to you!), you can
stop writing these emails and concentrate on sueing other developers

 cdrecord-ProDVD becomes free for everyone
 
 later, someone takes parts of the cdrecord DVD code by reverse engineering and
 publishes patches that cause cdrecord to fail even with CD media.

You are lying: Proof:

From your website: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README:

NOTE: the DVD-recording drivers have been added to the OpenSource
part on May 15th 2006 with cdrtools-2.01.01a09.

That was 2006.

The first patch for adding DVD support to cdrecord I found in 1min
searching was for cdrecord 1.11a08:
http://www.abcpages.com/~mache/cdrecord-dvd.html
cdrecord 1.11 was already released before 2001. At that time
cdrecord-ProDVD was for sure not free.

One of the Debian bug reports discussing that #248187 starts Sun, 9 May
2004 for cdrtools release 2.0+a30

Guys please see the the reality WHO is lying here.

 This person claims that cdrecord missses isnan() on AIX5 but refuses
 to send any of the needed information to investigate the problem.

Well, he didn't provide you with the configure output, at least not in
the thread. But tarred up files from /usr/include is something one
normally not sends for bug reports.

Anyway, I don't care for your playground...

 Keep in mind that this is a *discussion* forum. Define backup program

 about DVD in context of these two definitions. Which backup programs did
 you use so far? Were they 'good'? Think about why can't you use then

We used self written scripts which in turn used dump for ext2 to tapes.
Unfortunately our tapes are now too small for full backups, which makes
it very cumbersome.

We are in the process of switching to rsnapshots (rsnapshot.org) onto a
remote computer with big hard disk (this is the alpha architecture).
From their we want to make backups from time to time of the full system.

Definition of `good' for me: It should run without more or less any user
intervention, only for changing media.

Reason for this: We are mathematicians working at the university and in

DVD writing, alpha architecture, recommendations wanted

2004-03-18 Thread Norbert Preining
Dear masters of DVD writing!

We are planning to switch from tape backups to DVD backups in our
institute at the university.

Our backup server is a alpha SX164, with a Promise PDC20267 UDMA100 IDE
controller, running debian/woody.

I have the following questions:
- Is writing of DVDs supported on alpha architecture, and if yes, is it
  still `buggy' or ok?
  For cdrecord-prodvd I do not see alpha/linux architecture. For
  dvd+rw-tools I have built my own backport from the debian/sid package,
  but got the following errors compiling:
growisofs.c: In function `setup_fds':
growisofs.c:503: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
growisofs.c:508: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
growisofs.c:517: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
growisofs.c: In function `main':
growisofs.c:1778: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
growisofs.c:1778: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

- Can I put the DVD writer on the Promise controller?
  I know that there are some controllers which do not accept CDROM
  drives (my HPT eg).

- Finally, which DVD writer could you recommend?
  Our main/only usage will be for backing up snapshots of the
  filesystem. From the following list, which do you think is most
  suitable:
Plextor PX708A
LG M4040B-R
LG M4081B-B
Benq DW400A
Benq DW800A 
Asus DRW-0402P/D
Sony DRU-530A
Philips DVD 824
Philips DVD 208K
Pioneer DVR-107D
MSI DR8-A
NEC ND-2500
  Personally I have very good experiences with Plextor drives, so I tend
  to them, but alas, they are expensive, and our university is very
  picky with money.

(really last one for now)
- Do you know a `good' backup program for DVD?

Help with hybrid CD

2003-07-29 Thread Norbert Preining
Hello friends!

I am looking for some help creating a hybrid iso image. I have to
produce a CD for a conference containing course notes in PostScript and
PDF files. I succeeded in making the CD autostart on Apple (9.X) using
the -auto option.

Unfortunately the file types of the PostScript and PDF files are not
recognized on the apple. Pressing Apple-i I get as file type file or
something, while on a `normal' pdf file (not from the CD) I get in the
information window `Adobe Exchange File' or something similar.

I thought it would be enough to use th option
-probe
for getting the file types right, but I think this was a
misunderstanding on my side.

I create the CD with:
mkisofs -V ESSLLI03 -hfs-volid ESSLLI03 -probe -o esslli.iso \
-f -r -J -auto index.html -hfs ESSLLI-CD

Hoping to get some suggestions to improve/fix this error!

Best wishes and thanks a lot for any comments/hints/fixes

 With the upcoming Linux-2.6 Kernel you will be able to burn with full

 Current 2.4 Kernel isn't capable of doing this.

 That's only true for non 2048 block sizes (audio, (S)VCD, RAW)).

Does this mean
* 2.6+ can talk to burner in DMA for all block sizes
or that
* 2.4 can talk to burner in DMA, but only for 2048 block sizes.

If the later, is there a kernel patch necessary for this? Generally, are
there any patches which would increase the throughput?

 If you like to write at maximum speed, you _need_ to disable Burn-Free
 because the drive reduces the maximum write speed if Burn-Free has been
 enabled!

OK, I understand.

 If you like to write in 52x, you just need a OS that implements DMA.

Hmm. Does this mean that, if the transferspeed TO the burner is too
slow, ie not UDMA but PIO, these underruns can occur?

I always thought that this is a matter of to slow hard disks not
delivering the data fast enough.

So, burning DATA should work in DMA33 modus at least, while burning
audio is only in PIO mode an thus slow.

What are the *theoretically* maximum speeds for audio, ie not DMA,
burning? 

I guess that it is around 12x, this is what I see at the final speed
result.

 The CD plays fine in my audio cdplayers.
 
 If it really does not help to reduce speed to 4x (speed=4)
 or/and to call 'ms -ss' to switch the drive to single session only
 I would be interested..

 There is nothing like a copy protected audio CD. The Audio CD standard


I have a similar problem with a Audio CD which plays fine in my SOund
system, but not in the CD changer in my car. Till now I could make
copies of all these discs for my private (car) use but the one I found
was really impossible to copy. I tried several approached (cdda2wav,
cdfs, cdparanoia, readcd, ...) nothing worked. It looks like it is a new
protection scheme calles key2audioXS. I suspect this because I have
already some CDs with key2audio which didn't pose a problem. Reading
this new Audio CD I get millions of scsi read errors (ide-scsi), and
then within seconds the files are existent in the right size, but
contain only rubbish.

Bottomline: What to do without buying a plextor drive (I do not have
one)?

 In general I can say that the was little or no interest at all
 for DVD writing in the last 3 and a half year. This changed 
 a bit during the last three weeks.

Well in the last months there has been quite often questions for
cdrecord-ProDVD and no answer from your side, no information on

 Okay... here is the first section of that last set of logs you sent us
 where things begin to look bad.
 
 The command is INQUIRY, and we're requesting 0x24 bytes (36 bytes).
 However, we provide an allocation of 512 bytes.  The driver sends the
 command and then attempts to transfer the data.
 
 It manages to put 56 bytes into the buffer (which is strange, but _should_
 be legal since we have a 512 byte allocation).  We manage to exchange
 status information, and then return with a good result code.
 
 Then, it looks like __free_pages_ok() goes bad when it notices that
 page-mapping != NULL.  At this point, I have no idea what's going on.  As
 far as I can tell, usb-storage is operating just fine.
 
 Following Doug's suggestion, I looked for places where the driver might be
 altering the information about the scatter-gather segments.  I can't seem
 to find any.  I'm pretty careful about not messing with those data
 structures, as I know they are managed by another part of the kernel.
 
 Doug, do you have any more ideas?

Matthew,
Yes!! In file:
/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/protocol.c
The processing of a SCSI INQUIRY assumes it will never
get a scatter gather list and has lines like this:
  ((unsigned char *)us-srb-request_buffer)[2] |= 0x2;

Notice if it _was_ given a scatter gather list [cause
sg is/was warped] then it would turn a 0th element address 
like 0xc59d8000 into 0xc59f8000 just as the sg's debug 
indicated. It wouldn't happen all the time because that
bit may already be set.

Rather than Matthew staying up all night making
protocol.c scatter gather aware, how about Norbert
fetches my latest sg driver (version 3.1.16) in
a tarball from the table in:
http://www.torque.net/sg
and trying it. It will fix this problem (I hope).
[That version has been out for 2 weeks but I haven't
got it into 2.4 yet, the corresponding fix is in
2.2.17pre? as a related problem broke the sym53c416
driver.]

Apologies for all the excitement.
