Re: MATSHITA DVD-RAM/R Drive Supported?
From: Mike Fox Morrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey all, anyone have one of these? I'm testing one for work, and it seems to be a combo drive, DVD-RAM/R drive. I can do a -prcap on it, and it will report yes to DVD-RAM and DVD-R, but if I actually try to do a but, I get: cdrecord: Sorry, no CD/DVD-Recorder or unsupported CD/DVD-Recorder found on this target. Drive info: Device type: Removable CD-ROM Version: 0 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info: 'MATSHITA' Identifikation : 'DVD-RAM LF-D310 ' Revision : 'A116' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD. IMHO, I thought DVD-RAMs were a completely different monster all together. DVD-RAM is not compatible to media loke CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. DVD-R is! and this drive supports DVD-R. But this seems to be able to do both. (Not DVD-RW, however..) Info? Should I stick with the Pioneer A03? (I like that one..) Cdrecord-ProDVD supports this drive too Jörg EMail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uni) If you don't have iso-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) chars I am Jorg Schilling URL: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/usr/schilling ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

(With thanks to Seth Kurtzberg at MIS Corp for passing the advice for using dd instead.) In summary - to write ISO images to a DVD-RAM drive - try using dd instead of dvdrecord or cdrecord. This seems to work. e.g., dd if=/tmp/isos/1.iso of=/dev/scd0 (make sure you are writing to a valid device or you will fill up your /dev area pretty quickly) For Linux: Otherwise - just use it as a removable disk drive and copy to it directly. Udf tools at the following address seems to work on the latest Redhat (which in theory means the disc would be readable on other DVD-RAM drives on Windows and Mac)?: http://packages.debian.org/testing/otherosfs/udftools.html make sure /sbin/modprobe udf is in your startup. Take a look at the following links (some of the information is wrong as I am still going through the permutations and combinations of things) Still working out if there is a size limit for writing ISO images to DVD-RAM such that they cease to be bootable after a certain size(?) For read/write to DVD - dar backup page is most relevant. http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14admin/linux-server/mondorescue/index.html http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14admin/linux-server/dar_backup/index.html http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp14admin/linux-server/iso_images_to_dvdram/index.html Lachlan. --- Lachlan M.

Re: MATSHITA DVD-RAM/R Drive Supported?
I've been working with this drive. I have it working in DVD-RAM mode, and I was planning to test it with the latest cdrecord over this weekend for DVD-R. Joerg says that he has reports of this drive working with cdrecord. I think the DVD-RAM/DVD-R combo reports a slightly different identifier than the DVD-R only drive, and that is why cdrecord isn't recognizing it, so I think all that needs to be done is to tweak the name in the cdrecord source. I'll know for sure by Monday. Allright, cool. I just finished updating to RH7.3, and will go grab the latest CDRECORD, just to make sure, see what I come up with.. THanks!
