Cannot open SCSI driver!
For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.
When I click to Blank CD button in main window, another dialog opens saying it's creating the commandline then hangs.zigbert wrote:At which stage (exactly) does it hang?
The error message doesn't point me to any specific part of the code.

:-( unable to pread64(2) primary volume descriptor: Input/output error
you most likely want to use -Z option.
The DVD has about 4Gb of data and the 74Gb of free space on my HDD should be sufficient. The problem would seem that Pburn has estimated it needs 141Gb of free space to copy a 4Gb DVD !zigbert wrote:Country BumkinDo you have enough temporary storage?[Info] Disk free: 74744 MB

I have tried this utility. It has a 'mirror' option that would be ideal but this failed with an unreadable error - the terminal window disappeared instantly it failed. I tried copying the TS_VIDEO directory off the DVD with ROX and then using the pdvdrsab 'burn TS_VIDEO' function - this burnt data on the disk and I could play the VOB files with VLC but the disk would not be recognised as a video DVD. The author has posted to the forum for this utility that he is unable to provide any further support.Be aware that the progr pdvdrsab in the multimedia menu can rip the DVD for you.
I am sorry to say that this calculation is done by vobcopy rather that Pburn.Country Bumkin wrote:The DVD has about 4Gb of data and the 74Gb of free space on my HDD should be sufficient.

Great catch. I always just added video_ts as audio_ts is empty on my discs. I have fixed the command for next release. You can manually correct it toI also tried to use Pburn 'video mode' to burn the copied TS_AUDIO and TS_VIDEO files to a disk but the presence of the TS_AUDIO directory confused the command generation like this...
Code: Select all
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -dvd-video "/root/edev/temp"
As hinted, it failed like this...growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -dvd-video "/root/edev/temp"
Please try to burn with this command. I am curios if it works...... the wrong size-detection of vobcopy sounds not too good.
It was a .avi, but I dont have the log... I'm guessing it was my cheap DVDs most likely, I wouldnt worry about it!zigbert wrote:sc0ttman & swiatmar
What kind of file is this - VOB or another video format?
Can you burn this file from command-line?
Can you please post a complete burn-log?

Not a silly thought - the problem disk was a publically funded production with no need of encryption. I tested another promotional DVD (353Mb total size) and that failed the same way with a 141Gb space requirement. Detecting this circumstance and a more graceful exit would be helpful, better still would be some alternate code to handle the case.zigbert wrote:I don't have the answer why Pburn doesn't accept your video_ts. sorry about that. Could it be that the disc is not encrypted, and vobcopy troubles because of that (just a silly thought).
That made no difference - I also tried reinstalling Pburn - no difference so far.But regarding the message-trouble, you could remove /root/.pburn/ to reset all settings.
I wonder.......Does it work to just copy the files from the DVD onto the harddrive, and then burn. If it does, I could make an option to skip decryption....... Strange enough, this error hasn't been reported before. I THINK Pburn must handle not encrypted video-DVDs in general..... Has anyone any experience?Country Bumkin wrote:Not a silly thought - the problem disk was a publically funded production with no need of encryption.

I am out of answers - You have a fresh Pburn install, and it still doesn't work? Any terminal output (execute 'pburn' in terminal)Country Bumkin wrote:That made no difference - I also tried reinstalling Pburn - no difference so far.But regarding the message-trouble, you could remove /root/.pburn/ to reset all settings.

I tried this on another computer (acer aspire 3618, full install Official 431, Pburn 331) and it behaved the same way so it is nothing I have done. All attempts to burn a video mode, ISO mode or data mode DVD get the incorrect warning that the disk is not blank. The warning does not occur with the 'Copy/Shrink DVD' Option. The burn will proceed if I ignore the warning and use the 'Proceed with valid disk' option. Burning of CD's does not get the incorrect warning. The terminal screen shows no relevant messages.I am out of answers - You have a fresh Pburn install, and it still doesn't work? Any terminal output (execute 'pburn' in terminal)
