All, I am having an issue burning BD-R media. From my understanding I must format the media before laying down a file system (in this case UDF via mkudffs)
Some system information first :- $ uname -a Linux pcb 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 #15 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 12 22:09:46 EST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][BD-RW BDR-203 ][1.10] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 41h, BD-R SRM+POW Media ID: VERBAT/IMw Current Write Speed: 2.0x4495=8990KB/s Write Speed #0: 2.0x4495=8990KB/s Speed Descriptor#0: 00/12219391 [email protected]=8990kb/s [email protected]=8990kb/s :-[ READ BD SPARE INFORMATION failed with SK=5h/MEDIUM NOT FORMATTED]: Wrong medium type POW RESOURCES INFORMATION: Remaining Replacements:16843040 Remaining Map Entries: 0 Remaining Updates: 0 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty "Next" Track: 1 Number of Tracks: 1 READ FORMAT CAPACITIES: unformatted: 12219392*2048=25025314816 00h(3000): 11826176*2048=24220008448 32h(0): 11826176*2048=24220008448 32h(0): 5796864*2048=11871977472 32h(0): 12088320*2048=24756879360 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: invisible incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 12219392*2KB Track Size: 12219392*2KB READ CAPACITY: 0*2048=0 I have tried the following commands :- $ dvd+rw-format /dev/sr0 RESULT = * BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[email protected]>, version 7.1. ^ there is nothing more the application just exits. $ dvd+rw-format -ssa=default /dev/sr0 RESULT = * BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[email protected]>, version 7.1. * 25.0GB BD media detected. - illegal command-line option for this media. - BD-R can be pre-formatted only once ^ there is nothing more the application just exits. mkudffs will fail at this point as no media has been formated. Can someone please assist me? I am sure its an issue with me rather then the tools, I have tried diffrent BD-R media. I can write, CD,DVD and BD-RE media ( i used growisofs for the BD-RE) I don't want to use growisofs, as I want a UDF disk at version 201 and mkisofs can only do 102.
