Hey guys, I am having one h-ll of a time trying to burn this Mandriva DVD ISO for _X86_64 bit. I have tried just about everything I can think of. Sometimes the burn fails at 1% and other times it has failed at 71%. All-in-all, I have ruined 5 DVD's. In baseball I would be cut for these sorts of numbers.
I am using an Emprex 16X Dual DVD burner and the DVD ISO I am burning is 4.4GB.
I am about to give up. I joined the Mandriva Club so I could get this DVD, spent all this money and nothing but failure.
Then I use K3B in order to make the ISO copy to the DVD, it also checks the MD5 sum, but when I burn the DVD K3b says : recorded 20078 of 20088 MB!!!!!!!
hey,
I got the same problem. I wasted so many DVDs that I thought my burner had a problem. But it does seem to burn everything but this DVD image alright. (CD images are fine, Data DVD too). It keeps failing at 1% or at around 70% (!) The image is just fine on another type of burner. I am using Nero 6 on win XP, but I remember having similar problems on linux with K3b.
My suggestion: Try slowest speed (4x) and finalize. That seems to do the trick..
I did try but it never would work. I installed nero-linux and it burned the image without a problem. I think KSCD may have had something to do with it, so I uninstalled the KSCD from my mandriva. How did I know, Nero-Linux told me it might interfere with it, so I removed it.
Be careful with this - it will show as green in k3b even if you don't put in the correct MD5 sum of the file. You need to click the little button next to the md5sum and copy the md5sum from the website in otherwise its not actually checking anything. Or check it from the command line as in gramofenomeno's post.
K3b uses growisofs to burn your dvd isos. In the growisofs website
under the section `Burning with growisofs', says that growisofs
uses mkisofs wich dumps its output directly to the media. You can find
this info here under the `Burning with growisofs' section.
-And mkisofs itself uses the 8.3 file format, you can find that info here under the `Description' section.
-And you can find another way to solve this if you can figure out the way
to use the information provided in this site.
Anyway I used the command as suggested in the growisofs site under
`Burning with growisofs' but this time I changed the file name to an
8.3 format, and it worked fine.
I have only just downloaded the 2006 DVD from a Japanese mirror, getting terrific speeds, but no auto resume when it had an error, I was using Opera in Mandrake 10. I had issues with my CD burner and thought that after downloading 2GB it would fail. Then I found this thread.
Thanks to gramofenomeno for the checksum command, mine said OK, I then used k3b on auto with an LG burner, it burnt it at 3.5k and said it was OK.
I would have to assume it works, I will find out later I guess, once I have backed up certain data.
I've been using K3b in Mandrake for about 2 years now for burning cd's and dvd's mostly data disks but also iso. I've got the dvd's for Mandriva 10.1, 2005 and 2006 burned on K3b. I've used it for 100's of movies as well - at least I think that's what K9Copy (the Mandrake version of DVDShrink) uses. It really performs, and I have no complaint. I have not tried to burn fast, K3b decides what speed it will use, according to your machine and the disk. I just let it get on with it - usually about 4X - about 20 minutes.
I admit I accepted (until now having read earlier comments) that the MD5 sum being checked by K3b was valid... because the disks are ok! I nearly always use RW disks because I have lost some in XP, you just have to start up Firefox or Freecell to lose a disk. I'm so used to burning in Mandrake running several torrents, playing a game AND browsing Firefox I forget Windoze can't cope the same. I've got 4 torrents running now and have just burned 2 movies to DVD no probs.
I've got 2 NEC-DVD_RW's one 3520 and one 3540. They're great in my system! Bought as replacements for cdrom and cd-rewriter.
Posted this because the other posters seem to be having a bad time and I wanted to show Mandrake and K3b are not bad for everybody!

This thread is for people having a specific problem with k3b. It doesn't mean that everyone
has a problem with k3b or that every burner has problems with k3b. It's just the people who do who post.
Furthermore, no one has been claiming that Mandrake or k3b are "bad for everybody".
