It was a Memorex DVD-R, as I mentioned in the previous message. Anyway, I got it to work with the same media type on the second try by adding speed=1 to the options. Since this experiment was successful, our next step will be licensing. We are one department in a non-profit hospital and we plan to use DVD for data backups. Does this fall under the private/educational/research license for cdrecord-ProDVD? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ProDVD 2.0 HP-UX Medium Error
Hello. This is partially a request for help, and partially a test to see if I'm actually subscribed to this list. (I haven't gotten any sort of confirmation message yet, and couldn't find a direct subscription address -- just one of these silly web things.) Replying to me directly might be necessary. :( I'm using cdrecord-ProDVD 2.0 on HP-UX 10.20. I'm trying to burn my very first DVD ever. I've got a Sony DRU-500A drive and a Memorex DVD-R disc. I used the following commands as root: # mkisofs -split-output -R -J -o ../tempfile . # cd .. # prodvd -v dev=1,0,0 tempfile* (prodvd is a script in /usr/local/bin that sets the CDR_SECURITY variable and runs cdrecord-prodvd.) It seemed to be going pretty well for the first several minutes, then aborted with a Medium Error, and the resulting disc cannot be mounted. My first thought, of course, is that the DVD-R disc itself was defective. But I only have 3 of them (oops! make that 2 now), and I can't get hold of any DVD-RWs at the moment, since our supplier is out of both brands that they sell. So I'm reluctatant to throw another DVD-R in and try again without understanding exactly what went wrong the first time. Has anyone else (in the world?) written a DVD under HP-UX yet? Have I done something wrong, or is this just a bad disc? Is there something I should do differently to improve my chances of success? Should I go shopping for a DVD-RW in a local retail store and hope to be reimbursed for it by the local bureaucracy eventually? :-/ Here is the full output: scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.0 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 JM-vrg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: speed This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commercial_use TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' atapi: 0 Device type: Removable CD-ROM Version: 2 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : SYNC Vendor_info: 'SONY' Identifikation : 'DVD RW DRU-500A ' Revision : '1.0f' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.

Re: ProDVD 2.0 HP-UX Medium Error
From: Greg Wooledge [EMAIL PROTECTED] My first thought, of course, is that the DVD-R disc itself was defective. But I only have 3 of them (oops! make that 2 now), and Which is in principle correct!
