Insted of /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd I used /dev/sr0 and
everything worked just fine ...

Thanks for howto !

after using dvdshrink then making an iso growisofs still complains the iso is too large:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4682186752 Dec 23 10:20 MEETPARENTS.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.4G Dec 23 10:20 MEETPARENTS.iso

<edit>
this was my silly mistake i did:

growisofs -Z /dev/hdd MEETPARENTS.iso

when it should have been:

growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=MEETPARENTS.iso
</edit>

Anyone help with this?
Why do I get the I/O error?

Here's a neat tip to test how the dvd will work (or won't) before even burning.

you need the loop module/feature

Code: Select all

1) mount -o loop -t auto [iso] [mount_dir]
2) point software player to [mount_dir]

Thanks, thats a good test. Works ok, so I must have another problem. I can burn a data dvd ok using k3b so it must be something with the command itself?

Code: Select all

growisofs -Z /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd=/home/kamikaze_gerbil/media/dvd/filename.udf

edit Maybe not. If I try to burn an iso with k3b I get a similar error!

Sounds like a burner problem. Has it worked before? Hmm, with data -- well technically, the iso is data.

My bet would be that you need to try ATAPI support (instead of scsi.)

Hm. Even with buffer underun protection I have about 10 "lost" DVD (out of about 60)

I got a error message that the burner couldn't write to the disc, similar to that one posted above. I think the DVD mediums are of low quality because the error happened at 10% as well as at 98% of the medium.

Anyways, I disable xdm, cron, vmware before burning and it works fine!

i used dvdshrink and wine, then i created an ISO but when i try to use growisofs i get this..

Code: Select all

i didnt emerge dvdrtools, because its not in portage...

thats probably it, but how do i install it

Pink · Post by **Pink** » Mon Feb 02, 2004 8:08 am

Here it is:

Code: Select all

*  app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools
      Latest version available: 5.13.4.7.4
      Latest version installed: 5.16.4.8.5
      Size of downloaded files: 71 kB
      Homepage:    http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/
      Description: A set of tools for DVD+RW/-RW drives.

If you do this:

Code: Select all

emerge -s dvd

it will give you all the packages with dvd in the title, it is a long list but it useful.

well ok i have that

... im still getting the same error ;/

Sounds like your medium isn't empty.

growisofs is "supposed" to auto blank the medium for you, but in your case, it isn't working.

try growisofs again, but instead target /dev/dvd when writing. I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a shot.

most likey growisofs isn't compatible with your burner yet, so I would suggest
trying cdrecord compiled with the dvdr USE flag enabled.

SNo0py · Post by **SNo0py** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 8:50 am

As I said above, sometimes I get the same error, at 10% of the medium as well as at 99%

I don't have a solution yet - I believe it's an error on the medium. Nevertheless I shut down X, cron and other "expensive" processes before burning...

lain iwakura · Post by **lain iwakura** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 2:03 pm

yeah, um, I wasn't replying to you, SNo0py, I was talking to substance.

but, yeah, you shouldn't be running vmware while burning dvd's -- or anything else that cpu intensive while burning.

substance · Post by **substance** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 6:05 pm

i have a sony dvd-/+rw drive ;/ ... Sigh there isnt anything else that will write dvds?

lain iwakura · Post by **lain iwakura** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:18 am

sony, eh? weird. I have the same drive (4x version.)

I'm using the latest kernel (2.6.1) with ATAPI support and have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mobo. I've never tried DVD burning with the 2.4 series (if that's what you're using) -- not sure if that's the deal, though. I'm guess something's just set up funky with your kernel.

Hi,

I came across this thread as I'm looking to burn DVD's in linux it's about the only thing left I have to boot into windows for. You might wanna look at

http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~maxi/htm ... 00253.html

which is a forum for this program

http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettinge ... transcode/[/url]

edit : just found this, I've not tried any of them, but it looks like support for this type of thing is improving now

what about this?

substance · Post by **substance** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 6:39 pm

im using 2.6.1 yes...

Ive got the 4x version drive as well

I didnt use the -dvd-compat command, maybe thats why?

lain iwakura · Post by **lain iwakura** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 6:01 am

you could try it! I've never had to do that, though.

what type of dvd medium are you burning to (dvd+rw?)

also, try emerging k3b -- it's a buring frontend that uses kdelibs, growisofs, cdrecord, and a buttload of other utilities. I think it's worth a shot.

substance · Post by **substance** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 11:05 pm

yeah i have k3b its nice... i havent tried it with a dvd yet, i didnt know it worked with dvds (im using dvd-rw media)

There's an even easier way to do this if you have xine:

xine dvd://path to dvd files

that's good to know, but yeah, I like to test the iso right before burning.

HermanR · Post by **HermanR** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 7:58 pm

I have some problems running dvdshrink in Wine.

I first tried to run Wine using my Windows setup on another partition. This trashed my Program Files directory, so I decided to try it another way.

When I run Wine without Windows, I can install dvdshrink, but when I run it and try to open the folder where dvdbackup put the DVD-content, it crashes.

So what is the preferred way to run dvdshrink through Wine? And how do I prevent these errors from occurring?

Any help will be highly appreciated!
