Hi,

I'm using GnomeToaster 1.0Beta6 with RH9.0.

I'm trying to burn some files into a CD-R. I dragged the files from the source windows to the Filesystem Editor (first icon on the lower left). Burning process was completed successfully.

However when I mounted the cd, there were no files in it. In GnomeToaster source window under CDROM drives, the files which I have burned are listed as "Datatrack". Example:

Trackname: Datatrack #1 of CD 0x12020b20
Tracksize: 1.063.104 (00:00:06)

There are many more tracknames like the one above listed in the CD. What happened to all the files I have burned? Can someone please help? Thanks.

Hallo.

Can anyone help? Or did I post in the wrong Forum?

Did it create a seperate track for each file? It sounds like you dragged it as a bunch of little cdimages rather than as files to create a new cd from. Especially since your sample track is 6 seconds long. Not sure what in gtoaster picks which way it should work though. (maybe it has a "cd type" wizard when you do a new cd?)

perhaps the cd didn't burn correctly

i know gnome uses a cd burning utility through its nautilus file manager

in nautilus, type burn:/// and drag files into that; then hit write cd and it should work

you will probably need a new cdr for this (if you have any cdrw's lying around, those are best when testing cd burning since you can reuse them)

Thank you to Qzukk and TheOneAndOnlySM for replying.

Yes, I think gtoaster did create separate track for each track. No, there is no "cd type" wizard when I burn a new cd. If I didn't read the instructions wrongly, if I want to burn a data cd, I'm supposed to drag the files into the Filesystem Editor. If I want to burn an iso or audio cd, I'm supposed to drag the files into the Tracklist editor.

I also tried to drag the files into burn:/// in nautilus. I managed to get as far as "Complete creating a CD image" and then it hangs at "Writing".

....

Okay, I tried again using a cdrw. Blanking the disc was successful. Writing data CD was surprisingly successful too IF I checked Disc-At-Once.

However when I tried to burn using multisession I get this error:

cdrecord: input/output error. send opc: scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB: 54 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Conclusion: I can burn data cd if I checked the Disc-At-Once but not Mutisession. Help!

Have you given K3B a try, I find that this is the best program I have come across to burn CDs very straight forward, I never did have much luck with GnomeToaster. Plus with K3B you can set up a regular user to burn CDs.

Thanks. Maybe I will give K3B a try when I install KDE. At the moment, I'm using Gnome.

If you want to stick with Gnome centric programs maybe give gcombust a try.
