I'm trying to burn a data DVD with k3b (FC4), but keep getting the
error "growisofs did not exit cleanly". Any ideas, please?
I had a recurrent similar problem in the past. After having wasted
several disks, I decided to abandon k3b as a trustworthy tool for that
purpose. There is some workarounds, the simplest one is maybe to make
an iso file first and then use k3b to burn the iso file.
I had that error also and then upgraded k3b to the latest version and
now I'm not getting that error anymore.
One other thing - on the last attempt I forgot to put the disk in before
starting k3b's burn. It demanded a dual-layer disk. This drive doesn't
handle dual-layer disks. Could it be that something put in to handle
dual-layer has actually broken normal dvd-r handling?
It's always asking me for a dual layer disk also and it still take
regular DVD+R though I've never been able to succesfully burn a DVD-R
even with 2 different burners, using k3b, growisofs, xcdroast and
cdrecord. And one burner was testing under WinXP and did succesfully
burn a DVD-R. I also tried with a Knoppix or Ubuntu live CD and got the
same results so it's not something that's related to Fedora specifically
but at a lower level. So I'm gonna be using DVD+Rs for now until I can
find a solution that will allow me to burn DVD-Rs.
Strange; I use DVD-Rs all the time (on two different machines) and
haven't had problems using them with growisofs or cdrecord. On the other
hand, I usually find I need to manually fixate DVD+Rs before they're
readable.
Paul.
Is it not the machine that determines the +/-R required, different laser
wavelengths and different dyes? I thought they were not interchangeable?
