Version: 0.12.17 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I suspect this could be a hardware error, but since it apparently work in gnomebaker (which probably uses the same underlying tools), I'm not 100% sure. Perhaps you would have ideas about what the user could test. Here's the bug description as it was reported by Ramiro Aceves <ea1abz@gmail.com> on the Debian bug tracker (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=398203): K3B fails extracting an ISO image from DVD-RW media Tools --> Copy DVD Options --> Only create image Image --> Write image file to /home/ramiro/test.iso Start Checking source media... After some time: Writing image file to /home/ramiro/test.iso Reading with sector size 2048 Successfully read source DVD That is wrong, resulting image "test.iso" is a very small file: debian-etch:/home/ramiro# ls -l test.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 ramiro ramiro 2048 2006-11-12 13:05 test.iso debian-etch:/home/ramiro# Syslog output shows DMA disabling on the DVD drive: Nov 12 10:29:09 debian-etch kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 12 10:29:09 debian-etch kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Nov 12 10:29:09 debian-etch kernel: hdb: DMA disabled Nov 12 10:29:09 debian-etch kernel: hdb: ATAPI reset complete K3b output: ************************************ System ----------------------- K3b Version: 0.12.17 KDE Version: 3.5.5 QT Version: 3.3.7 Kernel: 2.6.17-2-686 Devices ----------------------- TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632B TI33 (/dev/hdb, ) at /media/cdrom0 [CD-R; CD-RW; CD-ROM; DVD-ROM; DVD-RAM; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD+R; DVD+RW; DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM; DVD-R Sequential; DVD-RAM; DVD-RW Restricted Overwrite; DVD-RW Sequential; DVD+RW; DVD+R; DVD+R Double Layer; CD-ROM; CD-R; CD-RW] [SAO; TAO; RAW; SAO/R96P; SAO/R96R; RAW/R96R; Restricted Overwrite] ************************************* Repeating the procedure with DMA disabled does not work. Perhaps it is a hardware related problem. I have tested several DVD media types and brands that I have here, having some random result: DVD-ROM VIDEO = OK DVD-ROM DATA = OK DVD-RW DATA = FAILED, FAILED, FAILED DVD+RW DATA=OK, OK DVD-R DATA = OK, FAILED Gnomebaker reads all media types correctly.
Actually K3b does not use readcd (which is what gnomebaker uses) for this. It has its own implementation. But that is not the problem. The problem is most likely that K3b reads the Table of contents of the DVD wrong. Could you please try 1.0pre2 or even better the current svn trunk? Or yuo wait for 1.0beta1 which will be released within this week.
Dear Sebastian, Yes! I have just compiled and tested k3b-1.0pre2.tar.bz2 and it works just fine! Congratulations! Thank you very much for your help.
