PostPosted: Tue May 23, 2006 6:16 am    Post subject: Yet another DVD Burning Issue.... Reply with quote

I've been having some peculiar issues with attempting to burn DVD's.
I'm using ide-scsi with dvdrecord, and find that dvdrecord displays everything fine, (including the write output) but the DVD burner doesn't actually burn anything. I also noticed that the progress counter counts very quickly, and that the light on the DVD writer turns off when this starts (when it should be on even with -dummy). I'm of course, doing this all as root, and the image is valid. EDIT: Also, at the end of this, the blank DVD isn't written to at all, so I'm not ending up with coasters. The burner is also not broken, I've had it work fine with nero under Windows just now. I had this working before the recent kernel update (over to udev I think).

I've pasted the output below:

I'm doing a burn with these options:

Why are you using ide-scsi? From the kernel config option:
Quote:
WARNING: ide-scsi is no longer needed for cd writing applications! The 2.6 kernel supports direct writing to ide-cd, which eliminates the need for ide-scsi + the entire scsi stack just for writing a cd. The new method is more efficient in every way.

Also, in terms of support, I always thought cdrecord-ProDVD and growisofs from dvd+rw-tools were the best. Or you could unmask >=app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha09 which contains the DVD support from -ProDVD for free under Sun's CDDL.

Hey,

I've had it working with scsi emulation before, and I figured it still works with that. Switching over to proDVD yielded the same problems for me. I'm thinking that this might be a scsi driver issue with the newer kernel because I was looking at the debug output at the highest verbosity level, and everything seems fine in terms of the dvdrecord side.

The ide-scsi driver and dvd communication gets cruftier every kernel releaase since it is no longer a supported interface. Either move on to the 2.6 way (which is now >3 years old) or stick to an old kernel if you want it to work.
