Description Unknown 2012-05-04 17:49:33 UTC
I've successfully burned several iso images (backups of DVDs) to blank dual layer discs using K3b, but the last one I tried to burn got stuck at 4076MB. I tried it a couple of times with different iso images and now it fails at 4076MB (presumably where the layer switches) every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rip ISO DVD image to hard drive
2. 'Burn image' in K3B to dual-layer disc.
3. Do not check 'verify written data'
Actual Results:  
Burning phase stalls at 4076MB as per error codes above

Expected Results:  
Successful burn.

Burns successfully if 'verify written data' is checked.
Comment 1 Paul Perspectoff 2012-06-12 22:27:20 UTC
This behaviour has occurred for me since Kubuntu Oneiric (2011). 

It happens with hardware I have been successfully using to burn DVDs and D/L DVDs on Kubuntu for years.

It only happens when burning more than 3.8 GB of data onto a DVD. I have no problems burning DVDs with less data on them than that. It happens no matter whether I am using k3b, k9copy, or even Brasero or Gnomebaker.

The symptoms are freezing when data burned reaches about 3.9 GB, or a k3b abort, or an unusable/unreadable disc, or the mysterious "error 254."

It makes me think there is a problem with wodim and/or genisoimage/growisofs, which Debian-based systems have substituted in their cdrkit for cdrecord and mkisofs of cdrtools.

Further, k3b currently allows no method for selecting the writing package even when cdrtools (cdrecord and mkisofs) is once again installed.

If I'm not mistaken, genisoimage is used for DVDs and growisofs is used for D/L DVDs, and each preconfigures data for wodim to write. Something is wrong with this chain of writing events...
Comment 2 Paul Perspectoff 2012-06-13 16:25:29 UTC
Another possibility (Instead of a cdrkit/wodim/genisoimage/growisofs problem) is a recent (Dec 2011) change to libdvdread -- maybe this isn't fixed completely?

libdvdread (4.2.0-1ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * Add 103-iforead-tt-srpt-pointerfix.patch: Fix read/write beyond end of
    an array due to using a length value taken from the DVD, which can
    exceed the allocated size, causing a segmentation fault.
    (LP: #894170)
Comment 3 chymian 2012-11-14 11:02:15 UTC
I have the same bug here, debian wheezy/testing as of 14 nov. 2012.
trying to write a DL-DVD throws error at 50%

can someone please take responsibility for that!

Comment 4 chymian 2012-11-14 12:40:52 UTC
I double checked with "Verify written data" checked. worked flawless.
so, how can a verity command, which is executed after the write-process, influence the write process, so that a DL-disc is only half written?
Comment 5 chymian 2012-11-14 13:15:30 UTC
and I triple checked with same wodim cmd  from bash, which was used by k3b, writing the same iso: worked flawless!

so, definitely a k3b-bug!

I don't mean to pile on here in this thread, and certainly don't want to get into the politics of the situation so I'm going to call this my wish for K3b.
I had to learn the hard way, through this and other fora about how to use K3b to burn DL DVDs.  Until I did I was pretty much limited to Growisofs at the CLI.  Out of the distro K3b comes with "Show Advanced Gui elements" deselected, and without that it does not seem possible to select growisofs as the writing app for DVDs.  While cdrecord will successfully burn single layer DVDs it will not burn DL DVDs.
My "wish", therefore is that the Great Folks on the K3b team please make "Show Advanced Gui Elements" the default config., OR make K3b default to growisofs for DVDs.
Enough bug reports have been filed on this subject so I'm not going to do anything other than add this comment as my wish for K3b, and the unsuspecting users who have and will continue to burn lots of coasters before learning about this.
Thanks for listening

Did you try to use recent original software from ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
instead of this intentionally byggy wodim that is known for not supporting DVDs 
or BDs.?

Comment 10 joerg.schilling 2018-11-21 11:18:20 UTC
Please however be careful: Some unfriendly Linux distros still ship the
dead fork called "cdrkit" that results in a source state from May 2004.
So you should warn your users in case that old software has been installed.

Make sure to use a PATH that finds /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs before
/usr/bin/mkisofs and inform your users that recent software is at this
location:

Bi-weekly snapshots (recommended):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/

Less frequent regular release:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/files/alpha

So called "stable" release:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/files/

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
