Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

So I use a cool tool in WINE for converting files (from my digital camera for instance) to dvd format.  (ConvertXtoDVD version 4) The program converts my files and such but when it comes time to burn...wine does not seem to mount (or see) the bank dvd (or drive?)

any suggestions on where to go from here?

Thanks

Re: Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

You can try to add a new drive mapping via 'winecfg'. Maybe you also need a corresponding  entry in '/etc/fstab'.

Re: Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

I don't use any automounting tools and the manual way always worked for me - how do you do it, BarefootSoul83?

Re: Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

You actually don't need /etc/fstab.

There are only two things that are needed to make it work:
1) You need to set the mounting location of the drive in winecfg (for example to /mnt/cdrom)

2) You need to mount your drive to that same location. You can by default do this in your /etc/fstab file.

After that wine will recognize your drive correctly.

Re: Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

Thanks frodoontop that helped a lot.  I brought up fstab and winecfg at the same time... I changed the /mnt/dvd to match all the way around and winecfg decided it liked that a lot and gave me visual confirmation by recognizing the drive.  However, ConvertXtoDVD4 still gives me a message on startup saying "no burn drive found" ... it then decides to burn the iso on my hdd for later use and is painfully slow...hence my search for a patch smile

Re: Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

BarefootSoul83, that's the Unix way - one program makes the iso, another one burns it into the medium (yeah, I know you can combine several programs into one :-) ). If you have the iso with the intended content, simply burn it with whatever tool you like - directly from Arch, w/o using wine. 'wodim -v dev=/dev/cdrw isoimage.iso' or sth similar should work (to get wodim you need to install cdrkit).

Re: Problem burning dvd/cd in WINE

I get that...BUT.....I know it can be done in wine w/ this program so I want to figure out how to do it.  AND it takes 10x longer to create the iso than it does to burn a dvd straight from the program...hence...my question.

OK, now I understand the problem.

> hence...my question
Sorry, I never tried to burn anything under wine. You might want to change the topic to "problems w/ burning a DVD under wine" or sth like that.
