Re: dvd+rw-tools 7.0: iso burning problem

2006-10-10 Thread Andy Polyakov
I faced a problem with dvd+rw-tools (6.0, 6.1 und 7.0) when I tried to 
burn a DVD-Iso-Image to a dvd using the command line


growisofs -Z 
/dev/scd2=/media/CDWserver/export/Server/DVD-Images/KNOPPIX_V5.0.1DVD-2006-06-01-DE.iso 


But it gives an invalid argument error:
 Output
Executing 'builtin_dd 
if=/media/CDWserver/export/Server/DVD-Images/KNOPPIX_V5.0.1DVD-2006-06-01-DE.iso 
of=/dev/scd2 obs=32k seek=0'

:-( write failed: Invalid argument

The following command line works well:

cat KNOPPIX_V5.0.1DVD-2006-06-01-DE.iso | growisofs -Z 
/dev/scd2=/dev/fd/0


Why is there is difference between these two commands. Why does the 
second work and the first not?


I'd bet on the fact that growisofs opens file with O_DIRECT, while cat 
doesn't.


For public reference. It turned to be the problem with ext3 
implementation under 2.4 missing direct I/O method, which appears to be 
trivial [and erroneous] omission in kernel source [at lest ext2 
implements this method]. One would normally expect O_DIRECT flag 
rejected already at open(2), but it doesn't seem to be the case. It 
remains mystery why it was not noticed earlier by 2.4 users. Next 
version shall compensate for this by banning O_DIRECT under 2.4 
[naturally at run-time]. Meanwhile those who suffer from this can modify 
#ifdef O_DIRECT line in growisofs.c as #ifdef __notdef__ to work around 
the problem. A.


P.S. for Marcus. The final conclusion slightly differs from one I gave 
you in private conversation, but it the workaround is the same.

Hi,

 [...] problem with ext3 implementation under 2.4 [...]
 It remains mystery why it was not noticed earlier by 2.4 users.

On my 2.4.21 kernel SuSE 9.0 and ext3 based /home there
is no problem with growisofs 7.0 and this command:

  growisofs -Z /dev/sr1=/home/fertig.iso

Shrug.


Have a nice day :)

Ok, I will wait for dvd+rw-tools 7.1 to compile a new package for the

This was a problem with 6.x on Linux for files residing on NFS, but it's 
fixed in 7.0. Double-check that you're running 7.0 and run the command 
under strace [on Linux or whatever system call tracing utility for your

The following command line works well:

Using dvd+rw-tools 5.21.4.10.8 both commands works perfect.

*was* in fact set anyway. To double-check could you locate

As I stated above, if I don't use the -dvd-compat option, the dvd burns

It should be noted that if image is exactly as large as media 
capacity, then the recording performed without -dvd-compat is 
identical to one performed with [at least according to specification]. 
Varying results are more likely to be caused by limited capability of 
second player to play DVD+R DL in general, rather than how this 
particular recording was performed.


Given that I misinterpreted the original query, there is a way to 
improve playability of media in question by running 'growisofs -M

playability in the above mentioned affected player though, as it still 
may have problems to play DVD+R DL media in general. A.

Can you try smaller image so that growisofs would try split at lower

My first thought is that you are having a firmware problem, so I'd look 
and see if there's an upgrade. After that you could consider media 
brand, but that's unlikely to be a solution.


Is your USB an old USB-1.0 by chance? I burn 8x here.

Re: DVD+R burning problem (other media okay)

David Willmore pe v t 16. 12. 2004 v 17:48 -0500:

   I did some more testing on windows using the supplied burning
   software and it made a bad disk, so I'm starting to think it's
   the burner at this point.
  
  Sony is known to be picky about media. I won't be surpised if you will 
  eventually find DVD+R media brand, which would work with your unit. If 
  not, it's most likely hardware deficiency and you should ask for 
  replacement. A.
 
 Thanks for the response, Andy.  If I were sure it was a media incompatability,
 I could live with it--DVD-R is plenty good and I don't need the 16x burning.
 And I was hoping the second media would be a good proof (either pro or con)
 that media was the issue.  Since they both didn't burn right, shall I try
 again (if so, what brand of media should I use?) or should I try to get a
 replacement--for which I have to find a 2k or XP box and duplicate the error.
 *sigh*

Go for replacement, absolutely. Your unit is defective. There's just no
justification for modern unit to not burn CMC Mag. +R media properly.

I can provide the info on the -R and +RW media which does work
if that would be helpful.  I'm going to reboot the box into
windows and use the copy of Nero that came with the drive and
see if it can burn +R media.  If not, it's probably a drive
or firmware issue.  If not?

Thanks for your help Jörg.

David

I did some more testing on windows using the supplied burning

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.  Sony support--
after a 20 minute wait--said that the drive is only supported
under 2k or XP and that they won't even try to help if I'm not
running either of those versions of windows.  From the way the
tech spoke, I fear they would be little help even if I was 
running one of those versions.

Does anyone have any experience trying to burn DVD+R media on
a Sony DRU-710A?

Sony is known to be picky about media. I won't be surpised if you will 
eventually find DVD+R media brand, which would work with your unit. If 
not, it's most likely hardware deficiency and you should ask for 
replacement. A.

Thanks for the response, Andy.  If I were sure it was a media incompatability,
I could live with it--DVD-R is plenty good and I don't need the 16x burning.
And I was hoping the second media would be a good proof (either pro or con)
that media was the issue.  Since they both didn't burn right, shall I try
again (if so, what brand of media should I use?) or should I try to get a
replacement--for which I have to find a 2k or XP box and duplicate the error.
*sigh*

Thanks, again, Andy.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2004-12-14 at 1230.31 -0500):
 Source drive is on a promise 20267 based controller PCI card
[...]
 The burn seemed to go nicely at just under 6x on the DVD+R
 media (marked at 4x on the label).  But the files on the
 media once it's mounted contain a number of errors.  But,
 they form a pattern--or so it seems.

I have a motherboard with an integrated PDC20267, so it has four IDE
channels, and I was using it with a secondary disk. Channel (mobo's) 1
for one IDE disk, channel 2 for optical drives, and (pdc's) 3 for the
other disk.

I discovered that it read at full speed but wrote at slow speed (or
the inverse, it is not the big issue). The worst was that things I put
in that disk had errors, detected it while verifying a CD.

Being busy with other issues, I just put both disks in channel 1 and
disabled the Promise chip. The kernel was 2.4.26, when I have time I
could a try with newer ones (but not soon, cos swapping capables in
that machine also means touching the SCSI disks).

I did a quick search (PDC20267 data error) today and got:

DVD+R burning problem (other media okay)

2004-12-14 Thread David Willmore

Hello, all.

I've got a problem burning DVD+R media in my drive.  First a 
little system information:

1.7G Celeron (P4)
Sis 645/961 based motherboard
768M memory
Sony DRU-710A drive with newest firmware BYX2
kernel/system is 2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686 on FC2 up2date system
burner is on a motherboard IDE connector as the slave
to another drive.
Source drive is on a promise 20267 based controller PCI card
and can source the burn rate worth of data easily.
All drives are using DMA.

I've tried using both 
cdrecord-2.01.1-0.FC2.1
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-1.FC2.1
for burning and growisofs comes the closest to working.

I've tired DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+RW media and only DVD+R
has refused to produce good burns.  It very well may be a
media issue as I'm very new to DVD burning and I just picked
up whatever was cheapest.

Here is what dvd+rw-mediainfo says about the three kinds of

Hmm. I checked the disc physically and saw a big scratch right where
the the last data was written.

I tried again with another media, and this time it worked until it
finished 100% and I checked all the files was working fine.

I'm almost certain it's the media now. Sorry for the noise, folks.
Hopefully somebody could benefit from my postings and not use the same
media (Mr.Data DVD-R 8x; CMC MAG. AE1) with LG GSA-4120B. I know I
won't buy CMC again.
  

I doubt any other media will work better with a "big scratch" and it's
unlikely to have been added in manufacturing. You may want to avoid
media with big scratches, and your firmware may be deficient, but I
don't think either of those indicates a general problem with CMC.

I apologize for my poor English, it might be confusing. Of course only
that particular disc has the unintentional scratch on it. As I said I
tried again with another disc (of the same brand from the same
spindle) with success. So basically the disc was borked, the write
failure most likely does not have anything to do with the drive,
firmware or the software.

Today I had a chance to try a Ritek DVD-RW 4x (RITEKW04) in a jewel
case but the maximum write speed I got was only 2x. I also have a
Ritek DVD+RW 4x (RICOHJPN/W11), which I have yet to try, but
dvd+rw-mediainfo indicates that the maximum possible write speed is
4x. Lastly I have a Ritek DVD+R 8x (RICOHJPN/R02), but
dvd+rw-mediainfo tells me that the maximum write speed is 12x! I also
haven't tried this one yet. I have a feeling that the +R[W] media will
work better with my drive compared to the -R[W].

So, this is my 4th coaster so far :( all of them failed with the
same error, I tried with K3b, dvdrecord, cdrecord-prodvd.

What could be the problem? Any ideas?

In the meantime, I'm going to put the DVD burner in another PC with
Windows XP on it just to make sure that there's nothing wrong with the
hardware. (I could've done this yesterday but I was too pi**ed off to
do anything.) Currently I don't have any other media to try with, but
I'll buy different brands and type just to make sure it's not the
media, well actually I hope it's the media that's causing problem.

There is an official firmware update A111 from LG, I'm going to update

This particular kernel from gentoo has the following patch applied, so the
whole fuss about 2.6.8-scsi-whatever-dvdwriting-bug(*) should not be a
problem(?):
This problem should have manifested itself prior such write failure, so 
that yes, it's most likely something else.

This is weird... According to dvd+rw-mediainfo your unit offers 4x and 
8x, so that -speed=4 should result on 4x, not 8x. But wait a minute! The 
code pulls the speed list from unit and simply assumes that lowest 
velocty is 1x, while in your case it's actually 4x. OK, it's time to 
reconsider this for next update, but as of now -speed=1 and -speed=2 are 
those which are mapped to 4x and 8x for your unit. Yes, it's somewhat 
confusing, and it will be fixed. Till then just bear with downscaled 
-speed arguments.

You should be able to read some files, those which physically residing

Hmm. I checked the disc physically and saw a big scratch right where
the the last data was written.

I tried again with another media, and this time it worked until it
finished 100% and I checked all the files was working fine.

I'm almost certain it's the media now. Sorry for the noise, folks.
Hopefully somebody could benefit from my postings and not use the same
media (Mr.Data DVD-R 8x; CMC MAG. AE1) with LG GSA-4120B. I know I
won't buy CMC again.

Thanks for the help.

I appended the following four lines to

options ide-cd ignore=hdd
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd

as Jan Labanowski writes in his review on the subject

My DVD writer is slave on the 2nd IDE interface as in

Note after reboot the system changes mount point names
in /etc/fstab and in the /mnt directory.

DVD burning then works.

cdrecord audio cd burning problem

2001-07-04 Thread Ronneil Camara

Hi,

I'm new on this list. cdrecord is a cool tool to burn cds. From my
experience,
I seldom had coasters, sometimes never, when burning data cds. But when
burning audio cds, then it looks like cdrecord doesn't excel.

I was reading www.mail-archive.com related to cdrecord mailing list, if you
will notice, most of errors are Sense Key 0x5 Illegal Request. It's
possible that there is an error in the code in cdrecord.

anyway, has anyone manage to escape this problem when burning audio cds?
I've tried cdrtools 1.10 and latest of 1.11, no luck w/ audio.

any help would be appreciated.

cdrecord audio cd burning problem

2001-07-04 Thread Ronneil Camara

Hi,

I'm new on this list. cdrecord is a cool tool to burn cds. From my
experience,
I seldom had coasters, sometimes never, when burning data cds. But when
burning audio cds, then it looks like cdrecord doesn't excel.

I was reading www.mail-archive.com related to cdrecord mailing list, if you
will notice, most of errors are Sense Key 0x5 Illegal Request. It's
possible that there is an error in the code in cdrecord.

anyway, has anyone manage to escape this problem when burning audio cds?
I've tried cdrtools 1.10 and latest of 1.11, no luck w/ audio.

any help would be appreciated.

Neil
