Hi,
I have just upgraded my CD-RW drive to a DVD+/-RW drive..
Yesterday I tried to write a whole lots of data to a DVD+RW disk using X-CD-Roast (which I have used for a while and find it easy to use).. When it cam to write the DVD it gave the following error..
----- Error start -----
Calling: /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap CDRECORDPRODVD dev= "/dev/cdrom" gracetime=10 fs=4096k -v driveropts=burnfree,noforcespeed speed=48 -dao -eject -pad -waiti tsize=978759s -
execv error while calling /usr/bin/cdrecord.prodvd (No such file or directory)
----- Error end -----
X-CD-Roast requires the proprietary "prodvd" version of cdrecord to burn DVDs. It's also prone to complaining about the need for ide-scsi even on 2.6-kernel based systems that don't need it. I'd switch to using k3b if I was you (yes, I know it's a KDE app but it's by far the best GUI for this and it works just fine in gnome)
Enter "burn://" into Location: of a file browser (Nautilus) window, drop files to the window, and select "Burn to CD" (or whatever.)
