Hi,

I'm trying to burn an ISO to a dual-layer DVD+R disk, but these
programs instantly error out.  growisofs successfully burns the
disk, but mplayer and vlc can't read them.

Single-layer DVD-R disks work perfectly.

Am I missing something simple?

Here are some examples:

I can't give you a remedy, but I can confirm that having bought a bunch 
of verbatim DVD+R DL none of them burned correctly. With some I get 
errors and with others it's going well (growisofs) but the dvd can't be 
read. My dvd burner is certified DVD+R and very new, I have no problem 
with other disks including DVD-R.


The burning speed wasn't set correctly either with the DVD+R, I had to 
set it manually, but it didn't make a difference in the end...

I know it is of no direct help to you, but I have successfully burned
several DVD+R DL disks using K3b.  It 'just worked' without any fiddling
or anything.  I also successfully use DVD-R single layer and DVD+RW single layer
disks.

The drive is a Pioneer DVR-115D and the disks I have been using are
branded 'Zerodefex'.  The disks are read fine by Kaffeine and Movie
Player as well as a domestic standalone DVD player.

To answer your question, it seems Linux really does like DVD+R disks
after all.

I'm using a hand-rolled kernel.  Maybe I need some option?  Maybe
the burner's firmware need upgrading?

It's definitely worth booting into a stock kernel just in case. 

My memory of trying to burn DL disks is that it was spotty on this
Sony drive. And everything I've read suggests that it can often be a
combination of media and drive... try different brands of media. 

I know, that's not really helpful.

I must admit I have few problems with K3b, other than sometimes it tries
to write to old, cheap 4x or 8x DVDs at 16x resulting in some failures,
so I always manually set the speed.

http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=2model=1488l1=6l2=35l3=0l4=0
says that it will do 8x with DL on both +R and -R disks.

In fact, it looks like quite an impressive drive.

Trying different media is probably a good idea, but expensive if you
need to experiment.  Maybe just buy one or two of each before getting a
spindle of 25 or 50 ;-)

I've also hit a recent snag with DVD+R, single layer, disks.  In my case 
I'm able to burn them but not mount them.  I've also been wondering if I'm 
missing something simple but haven't dug into the problem too far yet. 
Basically my problem goes something like this:


I take an .iso video DVD image, which I can mount via -o loop, play with 
xine, etc.  I burn it to a DVD+R single layer disk via my external USB DVD 
burner.  It burns successfully.  Then if I try to mount it in the same 
drive it complains saying I need to specify the filesystem type.  When I 
mounted the iso image the type was detected as udf without having to 
specify it.  I try specifying udf as the type when trying to mount the 
disk and it still complains.  I can pop said disk into either of my DVD 
players and it plays fine.  Am I missing something simple?

I'm on Debian Etch; dvd burner is Sony optiarc.
I'm using Maxell SL DVD+R for backup purposes only without any problems.

I remember though I had some of Memorex DVD's (can't remember if they
were + or -) and they were causing troubles all the time, so I threw
them away.

I don't have a good answer except to say that on my sole DVD writer
DVD-R disks don't work and DVD+R do.  I think the DVD+R disks that I
