I've tried using K3B and growisofs. K3B says it's creating a DVD but it finishes way too quickly (when writing 4.2 gb). I had used growisofs with this drive in the other system and it worked nicely. On this system, it shows it is writing out all 4.2 gb. Yet when I mount the dvd, I only see the first 7mb of the file. (It's an HDTV .ts file and it plays for a couple of seconds using xine.) I've checked the DVD in my laptop and it's only 7mb long. I used:
> growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom -R -J /home/hdtv/hdtv.5c.ts
I also created an iso image and burned that to the DVD:
> mkisofs -R -J -o /projects2/hdtv/dvdimage.raw hdtv.5c.ts > growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/projects2/hdtv/dvdimage.raw
I checked the iso image and it's 4.2 gb.
I'm using rewriteable DVD's (DVD+RW). Either way I do it, I only get a 7mb file. The drive is supposed to handle all the formats and I've used it before without any problems.
If anyone has any insights, I would greatly appreciate hearing them.
