Hi! I hope im writing to the right mailbox.. I recently purchased a Pioneer DVR-218L SATA dvd recorder, to replace an old IDE Pioneer recorder. The unit works correctly when burning data, and it works correctly under Windows. But when i tried to burn a Video-DVD under Linux (K3B), it gave me an error in the very end of the recording process. I searched for information, and after a while, I found this: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12340.html
That thread describes my situation almost exactly, except I own a Pioneer, not LG drive. Here are a couple of debug logs of K3B when failing: http://pastebin.com/f416c99d2 http://pastebin.com/f39fb7284 http://pastebin.com/f14fcce74 Here is the output of dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/scd1 INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][DVD-RW DVR-218L][1.01] Complete here -> http://pastebin.com/f9309400 (with the data of the Verbatim 16X DVD-Rs I used to burn) I found no firmware update for my drive model :( I tested the "failed" DVDs, and the worked, both in my computer drives, as in my TV DVD player. But i dont know how to be really sure if they are bit-by-bit perfect, i just dont know how to do that. Anyway, I just wanted you to know my situation, and if you think its worth adding the Pioneer to http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/hcn.html<http://fy.chalmers.se/%7Eappro/linux/DVD+RW/hcn.html> BTW, i apologize about my english, I'm from Argentina and I speak spanish primarily. Thanks in advance. Julián.
