Re: Cdrecord-ProDVD, burning DVD+RW fails

2005-09-09 Thread F. Kappen
Hi all,

after numerous trials and studying the READMEs and mailing-lists
concerning  "cdrecord-prodvd" I haven't succeeded burning my DVDs with
"cdrecord-prodvd ". So I switched to "growisofs". "growisofs" is
relatively simple and has not such a rich flavour of features like
"cdrecord-prodvd" has, but it works, serves my needs  and I am
completely satisfied.

Cheers
Friedhelm

I can't mount the dvd on my dvdrw drive.

On the other hand I can mount it my dvdr-rom drive. The command 
  find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | grep FAIL
does not find problem, but I get I/O errors in syslog:

Jun 29 15:33:23 gandalf kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown

And now the drive seems to be stuck. Even a plain 'ls' hangs. I guess that
I'll have to reboot soon.

Anyway, I'll trash the faulty dvds.

Thanks for your help.

Since my dvd burner is able to burn other brands of dvd correctly and
that I can burn the dubious media on an HP burner without problem, I
tend towards the 3) explanation.

Yes.

I get plenty of IO errors on the rw drive and no problem on the
read-only drive. 

Anyway, I'll trash the moviestyle dvds and use another brand.

The other thing which comes to mind is that the burner may still have
certain media parameters cached. This is flushed on eject, when the disk
is inserted again the drive needs to "re-acquire".

I can only come to one of these 3 conclusions: 1) the drive is faulty.
2) The media is faulty to start with, and is certainly faulty now. 3)
The drive is unable to burn that particular media correctly, but it's
close to borderline (otherwise there would be a total failure).

In either of these cases the burnt disk is a coaster and not suitable as
backup.

Whenever there is read trouble and you're unsuere whether it's to do
with the filesystem, *always* disregard the filesystem and read with dd
directly from the device, like dd bs=2k if=/dev/dvdrecorder
of=/dev/null. You're allowed *one* I/O error at the very end of the
recording. Any more, and either or both drive and disk are faulty. There
is basically no leeway for other options here if you care about your
data.

If you're taking about reading the disks in consumer DVD players, some

Reading the error/warning output could. I quoted the relevant part
above. You're using the unbelievably old, very, very deprecated "ATAPI"
device interface. This API does not support DMA at all. The fact that
using_dma is on is irrelevant; this API disables DMA no matter what.

Solution: Address the drive as "ATA:0,0,0" instead of "ATAPI:0,0,0".
Note: Noone can guarantee that DMA will work using ATA:. The Linux
kernel drivers seem to be generally crappy in this area. But with this
API, there's at least a theoretical chance for DMA.

@JÃrg: Is it actually useful to keep this interface around? Any
real-world reason to use it? I suggest removing it and aliasing ATAPI:
to ATA: in future versions.

I saw saw a little note about the format of a request
for a permanent key somewhere once, maybe it was in  
his readme file. You need to specify the operating
system and some other things. The main thing you need
to specify though is a valid reason why you can't keep
using a key that expires. I have requested keys from
him numerous times. My reason for the request was that
my company is using it for commercial gain. He hasn't
replied to any of my recent requests. I did manage to
get one permanent key from  him several years back.
While his license may state non-commercial use he
seems to be ok with allowing it to be used
commercially. If anyone knows different then please
share.

In order to get a permanent key one has to request Joerg Schilling,
the author. I would also like to have a key for cdrecord-ProDVD for
Linux system. I wonder if anybody has ever had any success in getting 
one from Joerg. Please let me know if anybody has. 

Joerg, I wonder if you can respond to this, letting people know 
about your policy of entertaining the requests for such permanent
keys and the procedure.

Thanks
Ashish

A colleague of mine has also attempted to get permanent keys from Joerg,
without success.  He's with a commercial entity (a business associate
of ours), though, and not a non-profit.

And then, in the features list, any DVD burning capabilities were

When I started burning, cdrecord said, that the device was not ready, if
I remember right.

Meanwhile, I have flashed the drive to firmware HSOP (unfortunately only
a Windows flash software is available from LiteOn).

With the cdrecord-ProDVD 2.01a27, the "Device type: Removable
CD-ROM" info is still the same, but burning works fine nevertheless!

By the way, Mr Schilling, thanks very much for this excellent software!

Best regards,

cdrecord uses the official write method for DVD-R. This includes
first sending a "reserve track/zone" command,

If this does not work for a emty medium, the drive seems to be broken.

cdrecord uses the official write method for DVD-R. This includes
first sending a "reserve track/zone" command,

If this does not work for a emty medium, the drive seems to be broken.

around. I have a 451S and a 411S that I would like 
to use for DVD archiving. I reported the problem to
LiteOn and they said they didn't support Linux/UNIX
even though it is a firmware problem they didn't seem
to care. I have successfully compiled cdrtools current

On the 5.0.7 development system it doesn't compile as-is.
I haven't had a chance to figure out what library it isn't

Also how do I contact and get information about clients
that have commercial use?

'Microsoft' from the error message, since my Chinese isn't very good.

Anyway, in case I can actually report this problem at some  point,
can you provide a technical explanation of what actually is wrong?
Something along the lines "According to standard ___ chapter _
a DVD writer must report it's capabilities as follows: _ ..."

If you like this to be fixed, request a a bugfix for the firmware of the

All right! I managed to burn an ISO image to DVD-R at 4x and to DVD-RW
at 1x (it's 1x media). Burn went fine and I was able to verify the data
too based on md5, on the writer at least. 

I don't have any + media, so I can't test those, but - media seems to work
fine based on these two burns. -atip seems to return decent information
as well. I notice -prcap still doesn't say the drive can write any kind
of DVD, but maybe it should.

Great work, thanks.

This is caused by the fact thet the drive is lying about it's features.

I just created a new version 2.01a24 for Linux and downloaded it to:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/

that tries to work around this firmware bug.


Please test and report.

Ah OK.  I actually thought the spec said it didn't do it at all, but I
has been a while since I looked at it.  I will try with a DVD in the
drive.

Well I just checked, and yep you are right of course.  It sees the
option now.  Yay!

So what restrictions are there on when you can use it?  Can you do DVD
video with it on, or only data or what?

Looks like you did not read the Pioneer specs.
As the drive only supports it for DVD and _not_ for CD media, you of course 
need to  insert a DVD medium first.

If you know how to use and set up 'rsh' commands on your system, it is 
pretty simple. Setting up RSCSI on win32 really is not trivial,
but this is caused by win32 constraints.

Since the discussion drifted to language, I'd like to comment on the
following cdrecord output:

Track 01:5 MB written (fifo 100%) [buf 100%]  10.6x.  2.47% done,
estimate finish Sat Oct 26 04:57:16 2002

I believe "estimate finish" is better rendered as "estimated finish",
unless the phrase expands to "I estimate the burn will finish at [*]".
Otherwise I tend to read it as "The burn's estimated finish is at [*]",
where "estimated" is used as a participle modifiying the noun "finish."
Constructions similar to this would be "unwritten law" or "estimated
time of arrival" (ETA).

Rob,

That worked. Thanks!

The man page does say to look at the fs= option when you read the tsize=
option. The example near the bottom of the man page does show mkisofs
-print-size; mkisofs /dir | cdrecord tsize=XXXs -

But, I overlooked that "s" since an s usually means plural.  

Better way to show it as an example is the way you did it, with the
brackets, as if written in a shell script.

Remember, not all questions are directed at you. I don't remember

on the list who might answer a question even though the answer might be
hidden deep inside a man page in a poorly written sentence. If you feel
that the answer is in the man page, just keep that to yourself. 

Again, the following section is not meant for you but for everyone else.

mkisofs will estimate the size of a track with the option -print-size.

I am not even sure why are you even on this list if everything is
answered in the man pages or readmes. 

Remember, not all questions are directed at you. I don't remember
emailing you, but emailing the mailing list. There are many other people
on the list who might answer a question even though the answer might be
hidden deep inside a man page in a poorly written sentence. If you feel
that the answer is in the man page, just keep that to yourself. 

Again, the following section is not meant for you but for everyone else.

mkisofs will estimate the size of a track with the option -print-size.

I am tired of people who do not like to read the documentation.
Do you really not know how much of my free time goes into cdrecord?
It is not my task to send you a mail with parts of the man page.
It is your task to _read_ the man page. I spend a lot of time in writing it.

Re: CDRecord-ProDVD

2002-10-25 Thread Karl Bellve

Ok, is there another DVD burning program that supports the Pioneer A04
drive that can handle this? 

I am tired of Joerg's comments to me and other people, and I will tell
my people to boot the computers into windows to burn DVDs until I get
another program to burn DVDs under Linux.

I have read both documents, many times. The man page for CDRecord and
the README in your FTP directory. Some of the comments in both are hard
to understand. I believe due to the poor German to English translation.

For example, The following paragraph is not easily understandable:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

***
The current versions do not work for DVD recording
if you specify the -dao option. They write in DAO
only without the -dao option.
Cdrecord-ProDVD-1.11a35 and later fix this bug and
allow to spedify -dao for correctness. Later versions
will disallow to use cdrecord without -dao if
writing DVDs.
***

Too many double negatives to be easily understandable. 

"Later versions will disallow to use cdrecord without -dao if writing
DVDs."

Should be rewritten as:

"Later versions of cdrecord will only write DVDs if -dao is specified."

Many examples of this in the README and the MAN page. So, if you want me
to use the man page or README to solve my problem, I suggest you do a
better job of writing them, or have someone else with a better command
of the english language write them.


There is no man page for CDRecord-ProDVD. The only thing I got is a
binary.

What is the error or problem though?  You just said what you did,
nothing about what happened.  The parameters look fine to me on first
glance.

What hardware (which drive model), etc, what error codes, some logs,

For once I totally agree, you have the right to do this. However, you
would be well advised to take a few minutes and set up a paypal account
(you need your credit card and/or bank info so others can't do it for
you). That said, I use cdrecord and would pay for it, I won't use any
closed source software unless provided by a client.

Xcdroast should work with cdrecord-ProDVD, Thomas promised me to fix some
problems with DVD recording for the last release.

Xcdroast should also be able to support a nice GUI to the graft points

Well, Jörg to be honeset, I sometimes find it difficult to follow your
arguments, perhaps because there is a tendency of stating what things should
be like without beeing elaborate. Sometimes others need a bit more input to
see why something is good/not so good.

Lets face it, there are little programs which do work with that many
platforms, but there also little programs developed by so few people.

Unfortunately it is wiedely spread. I also support Win32
I support true free software - not software that is e.g. limited to run on 
Linux only. Any OS that is closer to the POSIX standard than M$ systems 
helps to fight against M$. Unfortunately most Linux followers don't like to 
admit this.

Of course, most of the people who report problems in fact do rather report 
problems of the Linux kernel than problems from cdrecord.

I would have much more time for improoving my code if I woudn't get those mail.

Now I have to write many replies each day, mostly only stating that the person 
should rather contact the Linux kernel hackers to get help for his/her problem.

I'm wondering, why do you support Linux at all? If it's such a badly 
coded and proprietary system, then why don't you just drop support 
for it? That should save a lot of work since you can close most 
bugreports with a simple "sorry, Linux is unsupported", and in the 
extra time that that gives you you could improve support on the 
OSes you do like (ie Solaris and BSD).

If you can give only the slightest idea on how to prove this completely
wrong assumption, go on and do it!

Or do you really think that all the developers on lkml lack
background knowledge? If you do, than you are quite arrogant! Not quite,
extremely.

Why did you choose to introduce these harsh words? I never used them!


The main problem with most (maybe all???) Linux developers is that they usually 
lack background knowledge.


Le't make me an example: The problem with non-stable interfaces seems to be 
caused by the fact that the authors simply don't know what an interface is.
So they don't know what they should treat carefully and try to keep stable.


If they wouldn't read Linux sources only but look to the left and to the right
(by e.g. reading Solaris and FreeBSD sources) they would discover that there is 
a lot of much better coded stuff out

Of course you seem to be the only person knowing what you are talking about,

You did hot the most important fact!

If Mr. Rosenkraenzer already did contribute I single line to improove existing code, 
I would be willing to believe that he is interested in what he claims to be.

Going back to 1996, I cannot find any mail from you that could be related to 
cdrecord. Even if it was true and related to glibc 2 it was obviously a hint 
how to circumvent a glibc bug

Again, it seems that is it just the other way round. You obviously are bragging
with dvdrtools but did not contribute a single line of code for it while I am 
really working on free software.

If this was true, then I would have been aware of you.
It looks that rather Paul Eggert is the maintainer because he _is_ envolved 
in the current POSIX discussion about regex standardization.

Okay, I've been reading this entire discussion for the past couple 
of days, and I am wondering why there isn't a fork (or even a 
completely alternative implementation) of cdrtools yet.

Clearly, there are two sides in this discussion, and, stepping aside 
from who's right on what for a moment (no I'm not getting into this 
discussion, thank you), if the two sides don't even speak the same 
language, let alone agree on at least some basic technical and 
ideological aspects, then I don't see how there could be any 
cooperation.

So, why not stop wasting time trying to convince each other, and 
instead simply write two different programs/libraries/whatever? 
This discussion is not going anywhere. More choice is good for 
everyone, so a second implementation won't hurt, while arguing 
without any outlook on an end to the discussion is good for nobody 
and simply a waste of time.

File README with Jun 4 timestamp had "June 17th" in it.

File README with Jun 12 timestamp (today) has now some different wording 
with a "new" expiration date.

Did you change this wording before, or after I mentioned the June 17th 
time bomb?

Why do you try to reverse the meaning of my statements?

Is this the way discussions usually are held in the english language?

This was obviously related to the fact that until now not a single line of code 
has been added to improve "dvdrtools" by Mr. Rosenkraenzer.

If users get more from the mercy of a single author than from a putative huge 
number of people (as it looks for cdrecord-ProDVD) then the decsion is simple.

Well I did expect that you start such a commnication because it sweems that 
you like to know something about the cdrecord-ProDVD status.
You definitely did not...

So you definitely make false assumptions! The German/European 
Copyright/Authorship righs law only protects a "work" and no code fragments.
Code fragments are not worth to be protected from our law.


>Even if it happens to be legal, it is ethically wrong IMO; you have abused 
>the contributors' trust and used their work in ways they (or at least some 
>of them) don't agree with.

You missinterpret what happens. The reallity is:

All contributed code is freely available under GPL.

What I am doing is simply a second legal type of use. I am the original Author
and have the right to make a second publication under a different license.

The whole ethic background of the GPL (giving the user unlimited access and 
right to use the source) is retained this way.


>This is precisely the reason why I've forked it. I don't want to see any 
>of my code used in proprietary software, and I'm sure many others feel the

1) It seems that you missinterpret the meaning of proprietary software

2) publishing under GPL definitely does not prevent your code from being
used by non GPLd software.


>> Cdrecord-ProDVD is a legal DVDD writing program what is your problem?

>1. I believed it's illegal because of a GPL violation (and I'm still

It definitely does neither violate GPL nor the German/European Copyrights

Again, it seems that you use proprietary software like GNU tar and others.
So what is your problem?

And you seem not to understand that there are many important things that just 
work more simple and more smoothly than what FSF programs usually do.

Sorry your definition of the word "standard" seems to be broken the same way as 
it is when used by M$ people. Why do so many FSF followers behave the same
way as their putative worst enemy does?

A standard is something that has been aggreed on by an independant gremium.
This is definitely not true for M$ or FSF products.



>- It makes life easier for packagers because it supports

YOu should READ documentation!

It is even simpler with my build system.
Your problem is that you once heavily struggled to understand how the 
non-standard GNU build system works and now obviously regret to learn that 
there are other (better) solution and that you need to read some documentaion 
the same way as it was needed for the GNU way.

Now you are catched! In reallity it is exactly the other way round:

-   Programs that use the GNU build system only compile on platforms the
mantainers of autoconf are aware of.

-   The Schily makefile system compiles even on unknown platforms
if they are similar enough to other known systems.

Of course, this property is only available if you use my 'smake' instead of the 
broken GNU make. This does work since January 2001 when I received my MacOS X 
box with the first official "Darwin" version which has been significaltly 
different in ID strings from all betas before.

Actually I remember sending you a patch to get it to build with glibc 2 
when it was new, and I think it got in. I don't mind that you forgot, I 
don't keep track of everyone who contributes to my projects either,

Then I can understand why you're angry at me. Well, you have a wrong 
picture of me, probably because I prefer coding over bragging about it and 
because I work mostly on other stuff than you.

For the record:
- I'm the present maintainer of GNU grep.
- I started and maintain CLAP (a C++ class library), NoSpam (a spam 
  filter), kcmlilo (KDE frontend for configuring the LILO boot loader), 
  kwuftpd (KDE frontend for editing wu-ftpd's ftpaccess files)

- I'm a frequent contributor to KDE, Qt and wu-ftpd.
- I've contributed some nontrivial code to a lot of projects, including 
  wine, ncurses, GNU tar, CUPS and man
- I've contributed small fixes to countless projects, including
  the Linux kernel, netkit, ncftp, GNU fileutils, .

So releasing proprietary software to prevent others from doing it is the 
right thing to do in your opinion?
What about killing a random person in the street to make sure nobody else 
can kill him? Pretty much the same thing if you ask me.
