Can't burn .ISO image with k3b/brasero on DVD-RW disc.

myrlin · 2011-11-29 20:31:11

I don't understand what's going wrong here, so I hope someone can help me.

I have created an .ISO image (of a video) using DVDstyler.

(1) DVDstyler will burn it to a DVD-RW without any problems.
(2) I can burn it from the command line (growisofs etc.)
(3) I can burn it to a DVD-R from any application (DVDstyler, K3b, Brasero)

K3B and Brasero will write data to a DVD-RW any without problems

But, when I try to burn the dvd.iso to a DVD-RW disc with either k3b or Brasero, they fail with various error messages.

For example, K3B's debugging output is as follows

I hope this is enough to give some clues. BTW, I have tried forcing a re-format on the disc first from within the application, which reports success. It all used to work some months ago, but since I do not do this regularly, I can't identify exactly when the problem started.

I would really appreciate some guidance.

Many thanks in advance

I've done some more tests, and it seems that the formatting carried out by the applications is not working properly.

If I re-format from the command line using

dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/sr0

all applications write correctly.

So, I seem to have found a reasonable work-around, but not a true solution.

Many thanks to everyone for your help.
