Can't record to dvd with cdrecord

billehunt · 06-07-2005, 10:39 PM

I'm trying to burn an ISO to DVD using the latest cdrecord (Cdrecord-Clone 2.01-dvd)

I get:

Code:

I'm really no expert, but isn't http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/ what you need?

Well, I had tried that, but it had failed, even worse; it couldn't find the dvd drive. There's a funny thing, when I install dvdrecord (using apt), it removes cdrecord, and when I install cdrecord, it removes dvdrecord.

dvdrecord can't see the device, and the scanbus option doesn't see it either:

Dvdrecord is based on cdrecord, the packages have conflicting files.

Cdrecord 1.* requires ide-scsi emulation to work with IDE drives.

The growisofs program from DVD+RW-tools package should work better.

billehunt · 06-08-2005, 03:02 AM

well, I couldn't get growisofs to work either:

Code:

# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=file.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=dr_strangelove.dvd.img of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
:-( /dev/dvd: 2295104 blocks are free, 2768931 to be written!

I should note: in the case of all three tools (cdrecord, dvdrecord, and growisofs), it complains that there is too much data to fit on the DVD (there isn't). In the case of growisofs, I can't figure a way to do a "force". In cdrecord, there is an -overburn option.

straight from the man page of growisofs, make sure your file is small enough to fit:

Quote:

-overburn
Normally DVD media can accommodate up to approxi_
mately 4.700.000.000 bytes (in marketing speech
4.7GB). In other words a DVD can contain about
4.377 GiB or 4482 MiB. Growisofs won't start with_
out this option, if "overburn" condition appears to
be unavoidable.

Both cdrecord-clone-dvd and dvdrecord are modifications of the original cdrecord. Sometimes they work and sometimes the do not work. However, there is a tool cdrecord-ProDVD, which appears to work very good. The only thing you have to do is to google cdrecord-ProDVD, download cdrecord-ProDVD for your architecture and install wrapper script. Of course you need to read license:)
