Re: unable to cut a DVD from iso
I usually use only Sony burn decks. Everything Sony i've used from CDROM to BluRay is blissfully ignorant of whatever you run with it for an OS and burn software generally with no firmware upgrades. They just work without complaint. The Sony DRU series internal burn decks especially. 0 problems, they last forever. Samsung would be a 2nd bet. Plextors i've had nothing but problems with after campus IT ordered several hundred HP machines on their last contract and they were found to all need firmware updates.

unable to cut a DVD from iso
Hi All, For some reason, I am unable to cut a DVD from an ISO. Specifically, I am trying to cut DVDs of the SL61 DVD. I get bad md5sums when using from both growisofs and k3b. Just for kicks, I tried to boot off of DVD#1 and my BIOS won't even recognize it as bootable. Would kvm have anything to do with this? Many thanks, -T

I pretty much stopped trying other apps when I discovered that growisofs also cut bad disks. I am really suspicious of kvm. Back when I used Virtual Box (VB), I noticed that you could not cut anything properly while VB was running. I asked the guys at kvm if there was a way to temporarily disable kvm, but they have not gotten back to me. -T
Re: unable to cut a DVD from iso
Usually k3b et al are pretty good at checking the iso. If it tells you there is a problem with the md5sums, then the iso is corrupt. Try downloading it again or use an ftp client and ask it to resume the download.

I destroyed the bad disks already.
If is helps, I could not boot off the first disk. And,
I boot of my FC16 Live CD all the time to copy files
to my USB flash drives, so I know my bios boot options
are working correctly.
I wonder is qemu-kvm is doing this?

I am burning the iso file inside the dvd! I get a mountable DVD with the iso I just burned inside it! do cd/dvd that you have burned have a 'self check', or have you gotten that far? I tried booting off of SL61-DVD1. It would not boot. So, I could not do the self check. in finial thoughts, when you run 'md5sum source.iso /dev/sr0', are you running that in a 'real' system or are you running it from kvm? It was from the host. k3b crashes a lot when trying to do a verify. So I have always just used the md5sum above.

Let's try a naw, it can't be!
Try escaping all the hyphens in the name or simply renaming it to image.iso
and see what happens.
When doing it right doesn't work, try asinine solutions. The question this
will answer is whether growisofs interprets the hyphens to mean mkisofs
options are present.

-allow-limited-size --allow-limited-size
growisofs did not like the bad commands, so it sent them

Still a bad md5sum.
But, I ran the self check and this time Disk 1 both boots
and passes self check. Joy!
Thank you all for your patience and your tips!

Hm, TUV, bugreport, filed, one each?
But TUV about it. It sounds like the man page does not match reality.
Lemme see, I am using SL6.1. The growisofs tool is version 7.1. Not feeling
like wasting a DVD or CDROM I simply tried the command with no disk in the
drive.
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso (With an appropriate file.)
It trundled for a few moments then complained:
:-( /dev/sr0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0
growisofs is found at /usr/bin/growisofs and is seen as:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 93952 Nov 22 2010 /usr/bin/growisofs
I ran it as root for write privileges.
