I would suggest to investigate this with your drives, see if you can burn CDs. On the other had it seems unlikely that you having 3 burners have trouble and are alone out there with the combined mode thing. :-\ Cheers, Sebastian Sebastion, I think this is on the right track - I recall many moons ago I had exactly the same problem in Windows until I forced DMA on. However I am having difficulty identifying the cdrom drive letter. Is it: ls /dev/cdrom If so I get /dev/scd0 But when I try to see if dma is on: hdparm -d /dev/scd0 I get: /dev/scd0: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device which, to me, says it is not scd0. Am I doing something wrong? Many thanks, David David, a bit late ... I have to admit I can't help you with this. Never had DMA issues, so I know nothing about it. BUt it might be worth a separate post. Cheers seb -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

K3B is worth a try. $ sudo apt-get install k3b it's a KDE app but works fine under Gnome etc..

Try k3b but you need to install kde libraries as well if that's ok with you, give it a go once. $ aptitude install k3b; I second this - i'm a Gnome user, but two KDE applications rock my socks: k3b and amarok. I wouldn't install Ubuntu without them! That doesn't really solve David's original problem - my feel is it's hardware or media related. In my experience, Linux is a lot more reliable in burning than Windows, so trying that many different apps suggests it's not a software issue/ Paul begin:vcard fn:Paul Gear n:Gear;Paul org:Liberty Systems Software adr;dom:;;;Birkdale;Q;4159 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Director tel;work:07 3122 2198 tel;cell:04 3183 7656 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.libertysys.com.au/ version:2.1 end:vcard smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: DVD - CD BURNING
Please dont get the impression on a Gnome crusade, but what does Brasero not do that you want? My personal experience has been that dual layer, single layer DVDs as well as CDs all burn fine using good media at max speeds. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
