This is mostly for Joerg Schilling since he is the list guru for ALL 
things DVD but others with nice answers can reply too.  ;-)   Anyway.

I have been making movie DVDs.  Yea, I figured it out.  It took a while 
too.  Thing is, when I get ready to burn the DVD, I put in a nice shiney 
new DVD+RW that is made by Memorex.  I then tell k3b to burn the image.  
It does its preformat thing then pops up a error that it failed.  
Nothing more than that that I can see.  It also spits the DVD out.  I 
click load and it goes back in and finishes the burn normally and I 
might add that I have played several of these DVDs and they work fine.

Since it burns fine and works in the end, why does it give me this 
error?  Some info:

Ideas?  I checked the logs and I don't see anything except the burn itself.

Hi Dale,
   We're operating in parallel today but using different tools.

   OK, based on Stroller's responses to my DVD Movie backup thread (or
whatever it was called) I'm trying out dvdbackup + mkisofs +
growisofs. So far the best (as measured by my ease of getting through
it) web site I found was an Arch Wiki page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dvdbackup

   From this I got 4 basic commands to try out:

1) Grab the data off the disc backing up everything

dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o . -M

2) Create an iso image:

mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o ./dvd.iso ./MOVIE_NAME

3) Test that the iso works:

mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device ./dvd.iso

4) Write the iso to a DVD disc:

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.iso

   So far I've had very mixed results, but it's early days:

1) The first movie I tried produced a black screen in mplayer with no
audio and a number of messages telling me to file a bug report.

2) The second movie produced good results in mplayer but the iso file
itself is bigger than 6GB implying to me that maybe it's dual layer or
something else I haven't figured out yet.

   Anyway, maybe we can keep each other updated (on list of off,
either is fine with me) about our progress.

- Mark

Well on mine, the only problem is that it gives a error after doing the 
preformat part.  Other than that, everything works fine.  It gives the 
error but it appears there is no error.  I just let it continue and it 
burns fine, plays fine on both my computer and a home DVD player.  I 
just don't understand why I get a error.

I also forgot to mention, it does this on any burn where I put in a new 
DVD.  It doesn't have to be a movie, it can be plain data such as a 
backup or pictures etc.  I just don't know why it is complaining when 
really nothing is wrong.  I don't know if it is k3b or if it is 
something under the hood but I figure our guru would know.  I can use 
that tkdvd program burner to test this if needed.  I think it is still 
installed on here.

P.S.  I been using DeVeDe to burn mine.  Nothing fancy yet but I had to 
go unstable on EVERYTHING related to get it to work.  By everything, I 
mean DeVeDe, ffmpeg and a couple other packages I don't recall the name 
of at the moment.  The stable packages just would not work.

On list, please. Although ATM I have no need to burn movies on a Gentoo, if
one day I find myself in a similar situation, I can certainly apply your
collective knowledge.

Unless other list members object, of course.

Rgds,

I wonder why. I archive this list as part of my archive-of-knowledge :)

When I encounter an issue, I search this list first.

My reason for that point/question was that IMO the resulting
conversation would have NOTHING to do with Gentoo specifically. It's
just about using software made available by Gentoo, so it has the
potential to become as relevant as a thread about how to program a
spreadsheet, etc...
