Installed a new kernel in the meantime? (just an idea)

Uninstall this.  Install cdrkit instead.  Then try K3b again.

It happens to me one time, after a lot of research and a lot of tries, I 
discovered that my DVDR had a plastic protection...

 Uninstall this.  Install cdrkit instead.  Then try K3b again. 

If you like to replace a working program by something that does not work
go ahead and replace cdrecord by wodim.

If you like to be able to do something useful, stay with cdrecord.
Note that k3b prefers cdrecord before wodim because of the problems
people usually see with wodim.


For cdrecord make sure that it is installed suid root!

If you have problems with some media, you may like to call

cdrecord -atip

to check the manufacturer of the medium.

Or call 

cdrecord -minfo

to get the state of the current medium.

Note that wodim does not support this all

[gentoo-user] growisofs: media is not recognized as recordable DVD

2007-12-16 Thread Daniel
I had some .avi's that I wanted to burn, so I went out and bought a 10pack of 
Fujifilm DVD-R media (4.7GB) and fired up K3b.  However, it kept asking me to 
insert a writable disk even though I put fresh disk after fresh disk in the 
drive.

So I resorted to growisofs.  I had an ISO I wanted to burn as well so:

  $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvdrw=/path/to/image.iso
  :-( /dev/dvdrw: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

...so I started Googling and found numerous references to people making stupid 
mistakes (trying to burn CDs instead, putting +R discs in  -R drives etc.) 
and a few people suggesting I flash my firmware.

The thing is, this USED to work -- both with -R and +R and +RW... I just 
haven't done it for a few months.  I burned a CDR just the other day, but 
this is the first time in a while that I've tried to burn a DVD.  The drive 
is a good one:

  $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw
  INQUIRY:[PIONEER ][DVD-RW  DVR-108 ][1.10]
  GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION:
  :-( no media mounted, exiting...

And the binaries look ok:

  $ ls -l `which cdrecord` `which growisofs` `which mkisofs`
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 321432 2007-12-16 19:08 /usr/bin/cdrecord
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  83620 2007-12-16 18:35 /usr/bin/growisofs
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 432384 2007-12-16 19:08 /usr/bin/mkisofs

As do my permissions:

  $ ls -l /dev/hda /dev/dvd /dev/dvdrw
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-12-16 18:49 /dev/dvd - hda
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-12-16 18:49 /dev/dvdrw - hda
  brw-rw 1 root cdrom 3, 0 2007-12-16 18:49 /dev/hda

...though admittedly, I'm not sure what that b is on /dev/hda...

Lastly, my software is up to date:

  $ eix cdrtools

My user is in the cdrom group and the above happens whether I'm root or my 
user.  I gotta get this stuff burned ASAP and I'm even downloading Nero for 
Windows (shudder) just to get it done, but I really want this to work again.  
Suggestions?  Help??
