Talk:HOWTO Create a DVD:Burn

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

I see lots of problems with this article. To name a few:

  1. emerge -av cdrecord-prodvd

Cdrecord-prodvd is not in portage. Not even 'emerge -s cdrecord' yields anything. The right package is probably app-cdr/cdrtools, but that does not seem to have anything "pro" dvd. The GUI points that out, too. Thus DVD writing is not possible.

cdrecord -scanbus is broken, or I must have a really weird drive (but I don't): When I manually define /dev/hdc it works fine... but only up to a point:

All my drives are reported by cdrecord as only supporting SAO and packet mode, no DAO. So I cannot burn anything. If I insert a CD instead, it reports all the usual writing modes, but with a DVD it does not.

  • First, SAO is the new name for DAO. Second, USE flags.
