Hi

I have a new DVD writer (an AOPEN DUW1608/ARR with updated firmware) that I cannot get to work:

and

The kernel is 2.6.10 (gentoo-dev-sources).

What am I doing wrong??

on 5 march 2005 the license key inside cdrecord-wrapper.sh expired.
the easiest way is to grab the new cdrecord-wrapper.sh with the new key here:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/cdrecord-wrapper.sh

which will work till 22 october 2005.

I tried downloading the new wrapper and it did not work. Acctually, it froze the box everytime I tried. Not much to debug.
Instead, I removed SCSI-CD support from the kernel and am now trying with the ATAPI interface.

No freeze, but still not 100% successful:

Some 'dmesg' output or output from 'tail /var/log/messages' could be helpful.
I also had problems with my external drive attached to the firewire bus unless I made the scsi buffer smaller with the '-ts 32768' argument, you could try that. And I think enabling burnfree with 'driveropts=burnfree' would also be a good idea.
Bye, Valentin.

I still have this problem, only mine won't fail on buffer underrun, as it never gets that far. It was working just fine for quite some time, now just refuses to do anything other than spit out "Alarm clock."

/var/log/messages is clean, but dmesg tells another story:

Code:
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
scsi: unknown opcode 0x01
hdd: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: command error: error=0x51 { IllegalLengthIndication LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 0
hdd: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: command error: error=0x51 { IllegalLengthIndication LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 0
hdd: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: command error: error=0x51 { IllegalLengthIndication LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 0


Tons and tons of that. I have absolutely no idea.

I've got the same problem as rakaur. I had cdrecord-ProDVD working flawlessly yesterday. I could even use it as a user (as I'm in the group owning /dev/dvd, nothing more). Now it's a mess and I guess it started after and update (I haven't done any other changes at all). Suddenly, cdrecord spits permission errors (mlockall) for user (root is ok) and fails wit Alarm clock after two seconds of the "starting real write" countdown.

Here are packages that got updated:

     Fri Jan  6 19:33:22 2006 >>> app-shells/tcsh-6.14-r2

env-update was related to tcsh, so I let it update, I haven't changed anything of that.

Here is the output of cdrecord (blanking, burning stops with the same error):

funtom, I've the same mysterious problem. Hopefully, someone makes or knows the solution. This is coming very annoying. :evil:

After a while, I get this message to my term:

Here's what I've figured out. I think the compiled programs are only good for one year. cdrecord-ProDVD-2.01.01 it timestamped 1/5/2005 on the berlios FTP site. If I move my system time back to 1/4/2006, then everything still works. Wonder if they'll compile a new one?

If your conclusions are true, I must say that is quite f**ked up thing to make that kind of trap, if they won't release regularly new versions or compiles.

The author of cdrecord-ProDVD is known to be a little paranoid about any users misusing his software licences, as it says in his readme:
Quote:
As I am not sure if people will follow my licensing rules, so these
keys are time limited and will expire on 2006 Jun 11 06:26:40
I will continue to make private/educational/research use free,
but it may be that you need to request your private key for free
after 2006 Jun 11 06:26:40.


Anyway, this is about the dumbest thing i encountered in the last 10 years. Since there is no other proper dvd-writing application around, i think we have to rely on good 'ole linux-paranoid-Schilling-cdrecord-Prodvd for quite a while. Best would be to bugger him with some mail to release a new version, at least.

Well, this issue ain't quite new. Full story is here http://lwn.net/Articles/97469/

In case you want to burn something before this gets sorted out.

# emerge app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=DVD.iso

replace /dev/hdc with your DVD device and DVD.iso with your iso you want burned.

I note from the README:
Quote:
You are using a Alpha binary that is more than a year old.
Note that cdrecord-ProDVD binaries that contain the letter 'a'
in the version string will stop working one year after
the day of the creation of the binary.
Also, checking the version
Code:
 $ cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-i686-pc-linux-gnu -version
Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
Unlocked features:
Limited  features:
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-i686-pc-linux-gnu: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r6
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-i686-pc-linux-gnu: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer.
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-i686-pc-linux-gnu: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris.
I've tried downloading 2.01.01 from the distrib site, which isn't labelled alpha, but it returns the a01 string when version is called. Not sure what exactly's up. Perhaps the warnings about linux 2.6 are involved?

Added a bug to this effect: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118396

cdrecord-wrapper.sh nor cdrecord-ProDVD do work anymore independent from the CDR_SECURITY envirionment variable.

The key I have in use currently is:
Code:
CDR_SECURITY=8:dvd,clone:sparc-sun-solaris2,i386-pc-solaris2,i586-pc-linux,x86_64-unknown-linux,x86_64-pc-linux,powerpc-apple,hppa,powerpc-ibm-aix,i386-unknown-freebsd,i386-unknown-openbsd,i386-unknown-netbsd,powerpc-apple-netbsd,i386-pc-bsdi,mips-sgi-irix,i386-pc-sco,i586-pc-cygwin:1.11::1160000000:::private/research/educational_non-commercial_use:7mdYPOtM7xevuyXKvT9rNV.x3B6SFV4MLrduxvxrhbY2X9ddw/oqJyoXZW/

which I have got from the wrapper script downloaded today and that should work until 2006 Jun 11 06:26:40.

The filesize of the file.iso I want to burn is 3.7 GB containing files not larger than 640 MB created by mkisofs with no errors as usual.

I have tried using the wrapper script, I exported the variable to the environment to use cdrecord-ProDVD directly (as root) but I always get the "Alarm clock" error.
I have used kernel 2.6.5 for months succesfully until today caused by this key mess.

app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd Latest version installed: 2.01.01-r1 which is the Latest version available.

I am looking forward to a fix of this bug...

I had the same problem. As I read in this thread, I changed the systemdate back to January, 1st 2006 and it starts working (no problems with an 2.6 kernel and ATAPI protocol). I'm wondering, why the programmer added this great option to his software. I spent half a day of my life to solve a problem, which has been added to the program on purpose.

Hi Folks,

I have got the same prob :roll:, and have also worked around it by setting back the system date. I wonder wether it would not be possible, to patch the sourcecode of cdrecord to deactivate this check ...

There is a new alpha out - as of yesterday (1/12/2006) and it works. He must have extended the time-bomb a year.
I looked through the code for awhile, but its deeply buried - I couldn't find it.

There is no sign of a new "key" to unlock >1GB burning, but perhaps the previous one will still work. I haven't tried yet.

There is an ~x86 updated ebuild that installs the b03 version and it works > 1GB without changing the date.

Is format the same as erase?

Thanks a lot for the advice! As an unexperienced gentoo user, I am always in trouble when I need to mask or unmask packages. Now that I have found out how to do it, I may as well post it here. Please correct me if this is wrong or if it can be done better.

Make sure that you have the new ebuild by performing an
    emerge --sync
Then add
    =app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01_p03 ~x86
to /etc/portage/package.keywords to unmask the new ebuild and
    =app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-r1
to /etc/portage/package.mask to mask the old forever. After that,
    emerge app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd
installs the new version.
