Description Quentin Jackson 2005-12-11 06:35:23 UTC

I have to assume this is a bug because I have experienced it on Suse 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and now 10.  What happens is the image burns successfully and then faily around 80% on the verify.  I can confirm that this is actually not writing the data correctly as it doesn't read properly.  I am burning at supported speeds or slower and it applies to both +R and -R DVD's.  I have also found that writing Dual Layer will stop on the second layer unless running k3b as admin, however that was before this problem re-appeared.  The upgrade was an RPM obtained from packman as always and I will attempt to downgrade it again, but since it is only a front-end I'm uncertain it will make any difference.  The media I am using is a Verbatim 8x and I have two different DVD burners that cause this problem.  I am running version 12.8 currently.  I've noticed I can no longer burn Audio CD's correctly either.

I have now tested this with the Standard k3b included in Suse 10 and the same result occurs.  Now trying after running YOU and will also check that the cdrecord and DVD Tools are running suse supported versions.

OK, I see I have the standard Suse versions of DVD tools etc already installed, next I will waste yet another disk and try a command line ISO burn, hopefully that has a verify option!

Comment 3 Quentin Jackson 2005-12-11 07:56:59 UTC

Seems to work with this, am trying another one, also seems that it doesn't play in my Arcam DVD player but does in the Xbox, so now I have to try another one in K3B to make sure it wasn't the player as well, but in any case they are still failing the verify in K3B, even if logged in as root.  Funny as the Arcam used to always play test backups OK, perhaps the media has changed slightly.

Comment 4 Quentin Jackson 2005-12-11 07:57:55 UTC

I should also point out I'm running KDE 3.5 installed via Binary for Suse 10.

Comment 5 Quentin Jackson 2005-12-11 10:00:57 UTC

Well I have now had a failed one while running growisofs.  I'll ensure I limit the speed in that (as haven't yet) for my next run, however being a growisofs problem and I cannot accept hardware as it has always worked in windows but I'm not sure where to go from here.  I'll have a dig around a see about support for that.  I should have mentioned I'm running a Pioneer 108 for these tests.

i'm not sure if this is a bug. a quick search in bugzilla found nobody else with this problem.

please try: update the firmware of your dvd writers. this is very important for dvd writers, i had the same experience with a "bad" firmware and it's depending of the media you use. A new firmware might change the write strategy for the media you use. I'm not aware how you can fine tune burning, except lower the speed.

i will close the bug, please reopen if you still think it's a bug. Attach then the error output from k3b, hwinfo --cdrom and the last 50 lines from /var/log/messages after burning, thanks.
