Double layer DVD or Blu ray?
in [Slackware]

From: fred on 12 Feb 2010 11:55 Hello Group, Does burning a double layer DVD require any different software than burning a regular DVD? Is anything available Blu ray disks? Thanks in Advance, Fred

Well, I am not quite sure about the situation; I have a few blank ones, and I rarely burn one, but AFAICR it can be done; I think you may have to ignore messages about "insufficient space". However, I am not going to try; I have too few of them to afford this. At least I am sure that I burnt them under Slackware, without any special software.

Building them in K3B and trying to burn them didn't work, but running IMGburn in Wine to create an ISO, then burning that ISO did work (<shrug>, I'm a hack - I suppose I could've built the ISO in K3b as well). My particular burner seems to have difficulty with the lead-in on Maxell 8X DL DVDs, ultimately failed during the initial burn, but the Verbatim 2.4X DL DVDs worked without difficulty. Can't comment on BD burning. -- Slackware 12.2, 2.6.27.7, Core i7 920, GeForce 8400 GS RLU #272755

I have used both Slackware 12.2 (as patched) and Slackware 13.0 to make the discs. The cdrtools-2.01.01.a57 package includes the command mkisofs. That version will create an iso which allows for files larger than 4G. man mkisofs (refer to section -iso-level) Once the iso is created, it can be burned with cdrecord. So far, I have noticed only drawback to the dual layer mode- its maximum speed is slower than single layer DVD+-R. YMMV. -- Douglas Mayne

What about the cdrtools? cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI /path/to/*.iso should do the job. Viele Gruesse Helmut "Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". |
