I know it might sound silly but is there any special Windows compatibility mode when burning a data DVD (containing photos) on linux? It's not the first time that I've burned some photos on a DVD and my Windows friends can't open them. Either the dvd doesn't open at all or it shows that the DVD is full but doesn't display any files whatsoever. When I try the DVD back in Linux (both my desktop and laptop) everything is fine. I've got a relatively new burner and my friends don't have old ones either. I usually use xfburn (sometimes k3b)
Is it me doing something wrong? I didn't burn it at the slowest speed, but it wasn't the maximum speed either.
I've never had a problem moving home-burned CDs/DVDs between Windows and Linux systems.
I did send a DVD of *.avi files burned with k3b to my brother (Windows user) once and he said that some of the files didn't open, but he could read the DVD; I had not tested all the files.
for me K3B always worked ..try to Burn with K3B and there will you find options of compatibility for windows and linux both....
If problem persists check for hardware issues..
If you specify iso level 2, it should work on Window$ and other systems.
hmm, I tested 2 Taiyo Yuden DVDs burnt "for Linux/Windows" in "iso level 2" with k3b and they seem to be empty on Windows machines (tried with 2 computers). If it hadn't happened to me before, I'd think that the DVD batch I bought is faulty. According to the comments under the product I bought, they are genuine Taiyo Yuden DVDs.
Thanks everyone. Both cli commands work fine. I checked the DVDs on a windows system.
h_texmex_h: you seem to have forgotten about the leading '-' before the 'dvd-compat' flag.
