I had some .avi's that I wanted to burn, so I went out and bought a 10pack of |
2 |
Fujifilm DVD-R media (4.7GB) and fired up K3b. However, it kept asking me to |
3 |
insert a writable disk even though I put fresh disk after fresh disk in the |
4 |
drive. |
5 |
|
6 |
So I resorted to growisofs. I had an ISO I wanted to burn as well so: |
7 |
|
8 |
$ growisofs -Z /dev/dvdrw=/path/to/image.iso |
9 |
:-( /dev/dvdrw: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0 |
10 |
|
11 |
...so I started Googling and found numerous references to people making stupid |
12 |
mistakes (trying to burn CDs instead, putting +R discs in -R drives etc.) |
13 |
and a few people suggesting I flash my firmware. |
14 |
|
15 |
The thing is, this USED to work -- both with -R and +R and +RW... I just |
16 |
haven't done it for a few months. I burned a CDR just the other day, but |
17 |
this is the first time in a while that I've tried to burn a DVD. The drive |
18 |
is a good one: |
19 |
|
20 |
$ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw |
21 |
INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][DVD-RW DVR-108 ][1.10] |
22 |
GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: |
23 |
:-( no media mounted, exiting... |
24 |
|
25 |
And the binaries look ok: |
26 |
|
27 |
$ ls -l `which cdrecord` `which growisofs` `which mkisofs` |
28 |
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 321432 2007-12-16 19:08 /usr/bin/cdrecord |
29 |
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83620 2007-12-16 18:35 /usr/bin/growisofs |
30 |
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 432384 2007-12-16 19:08 /usr/bin/mkisofs |
31 |
|
32 |
As do my permissions: |
33 |
|
34 |
$ ls -l /dev/hda /dev/dvd /dev/dvdrw |
35 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-12-16 18:49 /dev/dvd -> hda |
36 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-12-16 18:49 /dev/dvdrw -> hda |
37 |
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 0 2007-12-16 18:49 /dev/hda |
38 |
|
39 |
...though admittedly, I'm not sure what that "b" is on /dev/hda... |
40 |
|
41 |
Lastly, my software is up to date: |
42 |
|
43 |
$ eix cdrtools |

My user is in the cdrom group and the above happens whether I'm root or my |
59 |
user. I gotta get this stuff burned ASAP and I'm even downloading Nero for |
60 |
Windows (shudder) just to get it done, but I really want this to work again. |
61 |
Suggestions? Help?? |
