Hi, i am using K3b for burning dvds, and i have this DVD-RW.

My first problem was with giving it permission to burn, but igot that, but for some reason now, when itry to burn a dvd, it will give me this error:

WAiting for media..
Writing DVD-R in DAO mode
using growisofs 5.17
Starting writing..
:-( /dev/hdc: unable to proceed with recording: unable to unmount
Fatal error at startup: Device or resource busy


then when i try to format one, i put it in the drive and it says it cannot find any media in the drive..

someone help

If i try and write in root, it gives me some input ouput error :S

anyone?

this sucks cause i know cd-r's are working, but my dvd-rw isn't

DVD reading and writing support in linux is sketchy still. Try to issue "dvdrecord -scanbus" and see if it detects your drive. If it does, make sure that it's detecting it as a dvd-recorder and not simply a cd-recorder. Beyond that you'll have to google as I can't get my TDK working in linux.

mark@linux:~> dvdrecord -scanbus
bash: dvdrecord: command not found
mark@linux:~>


This is what i get

in K3b, it does say my drive supports DVD-r. DVD+rw. DVD-RW

i don't get it
