Ubuntu Burning Disc Issue

798 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  error10
So I am having trouble burning an ISO. Here is what is happening:

I get to this point and it just stays here with the loading bar moving back and forth, nothing happens after 30 min, just keeps sitting on this same window.

Anyone know what is going on?

Good question. Try burning it from the command line:

Code:
Code:
dvdrecord -v /path/to/my/dvd.iso
You should get some nice detailed output of what might be going wrong.

Here is what i get from output from that command:

dvdrecord: No CD/DVD-Recorder device specified.
dvdrecord: Usage: dvdrecord [options] track1...trackn
Options:
-version print version information and exit
dev=target SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder
timeout=# set the default SCSI command timeout to #.
debug=#,-d Set to # or increment misc debug level
kdebug=#,kd=# do Kernel debugging
-verbose,-v increment general verbose level by one
-Verbose,-V increment SCSI command transport verbose level by one
-silent,-s do not print status of failed SCSI commands
driver=name user supplied driver name, use with extreme care
driveropts=opt a comma separated list of driver specific options
-checkdrive check if a driver for the drive is present
-prcap print drive capabilities for MMC compliant drives
-inq do an inquiry for the drive and exit
-scanbus scan the SCSI bus and exit
-reset reset the SCSI bus with the cdrecorder (if possible)
-overburn allow to write more than the official size of a medium
-ignsize ignore the known size of a medium (may cause problems)
-useinfo use *.inf files to overwrite audio options.
speed=# set speed of drive
blank=type blank a CD-RW disc (see blank=help)
fs=# Set fifo size to # (0 to disable, default is 4 MB)
-load load the disk and exit (works only with tray loader)
-eject eject the disk after doing the work
-dummy do everything with laser turned off
-msinfo retrieve multi-session info for mkisofs >= 1.10
-toc retrieve and print TOC/PMA data
-atip retrieve and print ATIP data
-multi generate a TOC that allows multi session
In this case default track type is CD-ROM XA2
-fix fixate a corrupt or unfixated disk (generate a TOC)
-nofix do not fixate disk after writing tracks
-waiti wait until input is available before opening SCSI
-force force to continue on some errors to allow blanking bad disks
-dao Write disk in DAO mode. This option will be replaced in the future.
-raw Write disk in RAW mode. This option will be replaced in the future.
-raw96r Write disk in RAW/RAW96R mode. This option will be replaced in the future.
-raw96p Write disk in RAW/RAW96P mode. This option will be replaced in the future.
-raw16 Write disk in RAW/RAW16 mode. This option will be replaced in the future.
tsize=# Length of valid data in next track

The type of the first track is used for the toc type.
Currently only form 1 tracks are supported.

I don't think it likes the -v

-v means verbose. But the problem with dvdrecord is that it didn't detect a DVD recorder in your rig. Run

Code:
Code:
dvdrecord -scanbus
and see if it detects anything.
Oh crap I forgot, on Ubuntu you have to use sudo. That is:

Code:
Code:
sudo dvdrecord -v /path/to/my/dvd.iso
