Description Francois Marier 2006-11-13 17:54:50 UTC 
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

*************************************

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.
