Growisofs Input Output Error

DRW-1604P, but should work with all DVD-writers. DVD burning on Linux is easy ... very easy. There is a super tool called dvd+rw-tools, which focuses on "things like backup, archiving, data exchange". Concept to DVD writing DVD writing is somewhat different to CD writing. Each time your burn is it either as a new DVD image, or a multi-session track which gets burned after the last one. There is no need to first format DVD's either. All you do is throw in your blank DVD-W / DVD-RW, and issue a very simple command, using the few tools that are provided by dvd+rw-tools: To start a new blank DVD This will take your files, and use mkisofs to create an iso "on the fly" while burning it to your DVD. The option "-Z" tells it to start at the beginning. The -J and -R flags tell cdrecord to use the Rockridge and Juliet extensions when burning (supporting things like long filenames etc). To continue a DVD (multisession) growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files The software will automatically search for the last track written to the DVD, and append the new track to it. To burn an .iso file to a DVD growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=file.iso This will burn an .iso file to a DVD Final notes Ok, I know this wasn't really a tutorial, however on the website http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ there is a lot of related documentation regarding extra options, and troubleshooting if something should not work like you expect. If you happen to get something like the following error messages: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -J -R files.test Executing 'mkisofs -J -R file.test | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0' /dev/dvd: "Current Write Speed" is 2.5x1385KBps. :-( unable to WRITE@LBA=0h: Input/output error :-( write failed: Input/output error .. which is exactly what I had with my linux-2.6.10 kernel, turn off IDE-SCSI emulation! It seems horribly broken. You do not need it for burning to DVD's. If this has helped you and you wish to show your appreciation, then please feel free to donate a little to keep this site running.

The interesting thing is that I am able to successfully mount and read from the burned disc, even though growisofs failed to close the session. But I'm not sure wether all of the data was written to the disc. I compared the md5 checksums of both the disc and the img file (thanks to a nifty tip from ewindisch over at Unix&Linux) but the two strings did

Also it was completely unresponsive until I restarted my linux box. The solution after searching google about the issue and finding little more than questions begging for help I decided to try it from the command line using "growisofs -Z /dev/cdrw=thedvdimage.iso" which again failed but before I restarted my computer I tried the same command again then strangely it started burning. I then tested it and it worked so in my option this is definitely a software issue (possibly something to do with timeouts). Anyway I thought it was best to share my findings for those in the same situation I hope this problem is solved soon so I can go back to using k3b. first try output growiso
