[Dvdrtools-users] pioneer DVR-105 and dvdrtools

[Alessio Sangalli]

Hi. I got yesterday a brand-new Pioneer DVR-105 and I'm trying to test it.

First I've downloaded the most recent version of dvdrtools (0.1.2) in my
  Slackware-current system (let's say a 8.1+ version) and I compiled it.

I prepared then a test iso image with the command:

/usr/local/bin/mkisofs -r -o monika.iso Monika

this produced the following file:

$ ls -l monika.iso
-rw-r--r--    1 monika   users    1452867584 Dec 31 19:04 monika.iso

which is 1.4GB big, enough to test a backup on DVD-RW.

I'm using linux-2.4.19, with few modules for the ide-scsi emulation:

$ uname -a
Linux monika 2.4.19 #7 Tue Oct 15 22:40:10 CEST 2002 i686 unknown

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
sg                     27916   0  (autoclean)

scsi_mod               56100   2  [sg ide-scsi]


My DVD-R device is correctly recognized by dvdrecord:

Let's arrive to the problem: when I try to write something on my DVD-RW
disc, which is a "PRINCO DVD-RW ver. 1.1":

It exits returning to the shell prompt. The exact same problem when I
try to blank a disc.

This is the last part of the strace output:

I tried then to download the patched cd-record version; I got the rpm
because the cd-record web site is unavaiable for me at the moment. After
having installed it:

after this I can mount the DVD-RW and see all the data etc.

What is the problem? Should I upgrade my kernel, wait for a new version
of the program supporting my new dvd-recorder, or something else?

bye bye thank you!!!
