Description Gregor B. Rosenauer 2011-06-18 21:48:50 UTC
Version:           2.0.2 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

K3b does not correctly identify my Platinum 800MB (90min audio) media and so I cannot burn to the full size. K3b reports 700MB and won't even let me manually overburn (tried using both "overburn" and "unsafe options" in expert mode).

Here is the ATIP info for my burner and disc:

[root@grexbox grexe]# cdrecord -atip
Device was not specified. Trying to find an appropriate drive...
Detected CD-R drive: /dev/sr0
Device type    : Removable CD-ROM
Version        : 5
Response Format: 2
Capabilities   : 
Vendor_info    : 'HL-DT-ST'
Identification : 'BD-RE  GGW-H20L '
Revision       : 'YL05'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc   CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags   : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE 
Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R16 RAW/R96P RAW/R96R
ATIP info from disk:
  Indicated writing power: 4
  Is not unrestricted
  Is not erasable
  Disk sub type: Medium Type A, low Beta category (A-) (2)
  ATIP start of lead in:  -14888 (96:43/37)
  ATIP start of lead out: 359849 (79:59/74)

The medium/dye is listed here (though not the same EAN code, and with a wrong size!):

Burning the individual wavs with cdrecord manually using "-overburn" produced a perfectly readable CD-R.


Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-CHAKRA

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2011-09-17 15:17:37 UTC
Same problem here. The 10% overburning tolerance in IsOverburningAllowed in libk3b/core/k3bglobals.cpp is insufficient, it sums up to only 88 minutes, we need at least 12.5% tolerance, but there's also CD-R99 media which needs a 23.75% tolerance.
Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2011-09-17 15:19:49 UTC
(I'd actually suggest doing away with the arbitrary tolerance entirely and just always allowing overburn if the user went to the trouble of enabling the option.)
Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2011-09-17 15:24:48 UTC
If you insist on keeping the tolerance, I'd suggest a 25% (1/4) tolerance: That would cover CD-R90 and CD-R99 and still prevent trying to burn the average DVD ISO on a CD.

Git commit 6163e98ca0c8ca68bfa7d52e877b2de419d6f67c by Kevin Kofler.

Pushed by kkofler into branch 'master'.

K3b::IsOverburnAllowed: Increase tolerance from 10% to 25%.

10% are not enough to allow using CD-R90 and CD-R99 media to full capacity.
The new 25% tolerance allows using those media while still catching the common
case of DVD ISO vs. CD media.
