Created attachment 68845 [details] DVD-R discdata after k3b multisession burning Version: 2.0.1 OS: Linux On DVD-R disks, multisession burning fails. disk becomes unreadable after second session is burnt with the 'Continue multisession' option ( single session works ) But DVD+R disks, k3b works perfectly, multiple sessions can be added and the disk stays readable. for DVD-R disks, k3b seems to be using wodim for multisession burning, but for DVD+R disks, it seems to be using growisofs. is there a way to force k3b to use growisofs for DVD-R disks also ? on DVD-R disks the track seems to remain unfixed after the first session. have tried ' wodim - fix ' but mediainfo still reports the track as incomplete. ps: using Verbatim dvds Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: have only tried to reproduce it 2-3 times since the discs become coasters. 1. Burn DVD-R in k3b in multisession mode. 2. check disk with ' dvd+rw -mediainfo /dev/dvd 3. Burn a second session with Continue multisession option Actual Results: 4. disk becomes unreadable Expected Results: 5. allow mutiple sessions to be added readably OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686 Compiler: cc
i submitted this bug.. i have since tried using growisofs from the commandline to write multisession DVD-R discs. these attempts have been successful. the commands used were of the form growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -speed=8 -v -v -V Dvdtitle -R -J /filelocation for the first session and for subsequent sessions the following, growisofs -M /dev/dvd -speed=8 -v -v -V Dvdtitle -R -J /filelocation The output of " dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd " after the first session is the following (compare with the output after the first session for the k3b-wodim burn, which i attached in the initial submission of the bug... growisofs seems to complete the session while wodim does not) root@debian# dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd INQUIRY: [HL-DT-ST][DVD-RAM GH22NP20][2.00] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 11h, DVD-R Sequential Current Write Speed: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #0: 16.0x1385=22160KB/s Write Speed #1: 12.0x1385=16620KB/s Write Speed #2: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #3: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Speed Descriptor#0: 00/790463 R@16.0x1385=22160KB/s W@16.0x1385=22160KB/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/790463 R@16.0x1385=22160KB/s W@12.0x1385=16620KB/s Speed Descriptor#2: 00/790463 R@16.0x1385=22160KB/s W@8.0x1385=11080KB/s Speed Descriptor#3: 00/790463 R@16.0x1385=22160KB/s W@4.0x1385=5540KB/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#10h]: Media Book Type: 00h, DVD-ROM book [revision 0] Legacy lead-out at: 2298496*2KB=4707319808 READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Last border-out at: 4290775037*2KB=8787507275776 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: appendable Number of Sessions: 2 State of Last Session: empty "Next" Track: 2 Number of Tracks: 2 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: complete incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 790464*2KB Last Recorded Address: 790463*2KB READ TRACK INFORMATION[#2]: Track State: invisible incremental Track Start Address: 828368*2KB Next Writable Address: 828368*2KB Free Blocks: 1469520*2KB Track Size: 1469520*2KB FABRICATED TOC: Track#1 : 17@0 Track#AA : 17@790464 Multi-session Info: #1@0 READ CAPACITY: 790464*2048=16188702
