Often it works just to start writing a first session. This can be done in Pburn 3.7.0 by activating the checkbox - Overwrite existing data on disc. You'll find this in the burn-option dialog. If you don't reach it because Pburn detects a corrupted disc, please try to start Pburn with the -c switch

The drive doesn't even report that there's a disk in it - any kind of disk - so Pburn just says "No disk inserted" and does nothing. The drive doesn't see my multisession Puppy DVD either. I've already bought a new Blu-Ray burner, an Asus BW-12B1ST, I just haven't replaced the bad one with it yet.

But this code does not work for 'pt' vs. 'pt_BR' and etc.

Both pburn and pmusic kills another applications when exiting pburn or pmusic.

Occurred pburn killed geaney. Probably because the geaney was accessing the /usr/locak/pburn directory.

pmusic killed ffconvert. Probably because both were using ffmpeg.

A few weeks ago I noticed that Pburn seemed to cause Geany to close when Pburn was opened. At least, I think it was Pburn. It's been a while. Embarassed

I tried to burn 22 GB of mp3 files from a flash drive onto a BD-RE the other day and the burner, an LG, stopped at 45% done, apparently broken. It wouldn't read any kind of disk at all. So I bought a new burner, an Asus this time, and continued to experiment with BD-RE. I tried full blanking the BD-RE with Pburn 3.7.0. It got 45% of the way through before it, too, stopped with an error message. I tried to save the log but I guess I clicked the wrong button or something because I couldn't find the log where I thought I put it. So I tried fast blanking the BD-RE disk. That seemed to work ok. But when I again tried to burn the 22 GB of mp3 files, Pburn stops immediately with this error:

This is interesting!
Did you read the red message introduced in 3.7.0?
Did you understand it?
Or, didn't it work to 'overwrite existing data'?

Sigmund, I did see the message about not needing to blank. At the time, I was trying to burn the 22 GB of mp3 files to the BD-RE that my old Blu-Ray burner quit halfway through burning the same files. The disk would mount and seemed to have ALL the mp3 files on it that were supposed to be there, so I didn't know what was going on and decided to blank it so that I could be sure of what I was seeing when Pburn tried again with the new burner.

This morning I had trouble getting on the forum at first, so I installed Firefox from the package manager, thinking that perhaps I had borked my SeaMonkey somehow. After Firefox was installed, the package manager reported something like "core_utils_dvd_rw_tools is missing". Could that cause a problem with Pburn, and where can I find that missing file? It's not in Racy's repository.

(I should mention before I forget to do it again that I'm running Puppy Racy 5.3 from a multisession DVD.) Embarassed

I doubt you miss anything to burn Blu-ray/DVD.
You can test it with these 2 commands. If the result is like shown everything is ok

I blanked the disk again, then attempted to burn the same thing to it with the same result. Again I tried to save the Pburn log and again it wasn't where I thought it should be. This time I also took a screen shot of the error message:

Did you check the overwrite-box?
