Please help me with DVD burning. I have been successful ripping a whole DVD-9 to the hard disk using dvdbackup. And I can transcode using DVD Shrink under wine. The question is: how do I burn to a DVD-5?
I have used K3b (and the command line growisofs, which K3b is based on) with no success due to the following error:
Failed to change write speed: 0->11080
I am currently trying to use dvdrecord (really cdrecord), but it can't locate the DVD burner. Here's the output:
$ dvdrecord speed=1 -dao dev=1,0,0 friends3-2.iso
scsidev: '1,0,0'
scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
I am using 1,0,0 because cdrecord -scanbus told me to do so:
What am I doing wrong? Anybody? Are there any other tools that I should know about for burning or do I have to keep my Win2k partition for a while? Please help... desperately needed....
# dvdrecord speed=4 -dao dev=0,0,0 ~us/friends3-2/friends3-2.iso
scsidev: '0,0,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such device or address. Cannot open '/dev/pg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
I gotta think that Linux can do this at least as well as Win2k and Nero, but no luck so far. I tried getting Nero to work under wine, but that's a whole other thread.

Rep:
Unfortunently, getting Nero to work with Wine doesn't have good chances, since Wine isn't designed to interact with devices, just to run apps/games. Anyhoo, is the drive in question an IDE drive or SCSI drive? Do you know its /dev/ name?
The drive is /dev/hdc. That makes it an IDE drive, right? But don't most (or all) IDE drives act like scsi drives too? (possibly have to recompile the kernel or something...).

Rep:
FC2 uses kernel 2.6, right? If so, it's possible that a kernel recompile is not needed (it's best not to have SCSI emulation if you can avoid it, anyway). Try this:
dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
Unfortunently, CDrecord doesn't support scanning for non-SCSI emulated IDE devices, but it CAN use them if you're on kernel 2.6.x.
Thanks for the help, LavaDevil94. The drive is recording right now! Hopefully the DVD will be playable in my standalone player. I'll post back when it's done.
I realize that you've gotten it working and all. I would however like to suggest that you try growisofs for dvd writing software rather than dvdrecord. It has better multisession support, and, I believe, dvdrecord doesn't support DVD+R/RW.
growisofs is nice since it acts as a front-end for mkisofs. This means I don't have to worry about creating a temporary .iso archive before burning. I just list all the files on the command line, and it automatically pipes it.
