[Dorset] New DVD writing error

2012-06-14 Thread Peter Merchant
Hi I have just replaced my old IDE DVD writer with a new Samsung 
SH-222BB from Novatech. This new one is a SATA drive. At that price I 
bought 2. I am using K3b to try and write a DVD data disc of photo's, 
and it fails. the error output is below. Can anyone point me at 
somewhere to look to resolve this? The old DVD wrote OK when it worked, 
it just got to the point where it screeched every time I put a CD/DVD in 
it and wouldn't read.


Thanks, Peter M

Hi Peter,

Is this a blank disk from old stock that you've had a while?

Cheers, Ralph.

Hi just wondered if you had tried uninstalling your burning software and
reinsatalling so the setup had a chance to point to the sata channel rather
than the ide channel.
just a thought and have you checked that the burner can write the disk type
your using (plus or minus) almost every burner  made lately can do both but
.. you never know
Cheers Victor P

Is there any reason /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 show different results here?

Do they have the same (and latest) firmware?
I tend to check using 'dmesg' and searching the output for 'sr0', the 
line above the first instance of 'sr0' tends to be the correct one with 
drive info, eg. mine here says:


[1.865700] scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROMTSSTcorp DVDWBD SH-B123L  
SB03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5


Which is firmware SB03. I have just checked 5 drives and they all have 
the firmware version in the same place, so I am assuming it will be there.


I would be tempted to try one drive at a time, and writing an ISO (UDF, 
etc.) image, possibly using 'wodim'.
