I'm getting the infamous "Alarm clock" error during the countdown when trying to burn with cdrecord-ProDVD. I've got the key from the README file (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README) which was updated on 2004-01-26... and it's only May. Is this key expired already?
Once again, what's the procedure for getting a *real* (non-expiring) key? We'd be willing to buy one for our organization if necessary. We're a deparment within a large but non-profit hospital. We burn data CDs and occasionally DVDs for both doctors and patients. Details: This is an HP-UX 10.20 system. I've burned using this software on this computer with the same hardware many, many time. This looks precisely like the error I get when a cdrecord-ProDVD key expires. # prodvd -v dev=1,0,0 sarge-hppa-netinst.iso Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a11 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commercial_use TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' atapi: 0 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 2 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : SYNC Vendor_info : 'SONY ' Identifikation : 'DVD RW DRU-500A ' Revision : '2.0f' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
