Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Format Data Dvd+rw
Jan 17, 2011
How do you erase/format a Data DVD+RW? I had originally burned some folders aka data onto a DVD+RW disc using Brasereo. The burned worked fine but now when I try to burn someone else on it, it won't let me. I tried using the "Blanking" option but all it does is make a burning sound and doesn't stop. Once it tries to blank the disc I can't stop the process except by pressing the power button on my computer. The DVD+RW is not corrupt because I can still read from it and copy working data on it. I'm not sure on what to do. I have already tried K3B but that doesn't work.

I just built a new 10.04 server. It has a 500Gb drive for the operating system and a 22 Terabyte drive that will be used for data. When I format the data partition, it only shows 2.2Tb available. I have this formatted as ext4. I know there is a 16Tb limit and I am going to repartition my drives, but shouldn't I at least be seeing 16Tb instead of 2.2

We are in the process of backing up our hard drives to Blu Rays. I am creating tar.gz files and burning them to Blu Ray.Is it possible to use a simple (preferably Python-based) solution for creating images of those tar.gz files, of a predetermined size (to fit in the Blu Ray), and simply burn this images to the disc?Do you have any other approach for creating physical back-up of your hard drives?

I have a 300 external usb drive which I have got when using windows and so is using a fat32 filesystem. I have since moved to linux only and am mounting the drive as vfat however I think I may as well convert it to ext4 if possible for (amongst others) performance and security reasons. The problem is I don't have a separate drive which would hold the 250gb of data temporarily whilst I changed the filesystem of the drive so I am hoping there is a way to format as ext4 whilst retaining the files?I know partition magic on windows allowed you to change between filesystems whilst keeping the data but does anything similar (and free! ) exist for linux?

I have created a file using open() and written data to it. Data appears as normal characters in the file. How to save these characters in a binary format in that file using C language? Here I mean that the characters should be actually stored as 0 and 1. Do I have to convert the whole data using some function or there is some standard way to do it in Linux?

A friend accidentally did mkfs.vfat on my 1Tb ext. hard drive..It's now showing as 400 GB free where it was 10 GB previously and the remaining data is being shown as weird symbols and empty folders and yet it occupies more than 500GB..Any way to recover the data completely?

I used a Kingston 8Gb flash drive as a live usb recently (copied the live iso image over using dd). I am done with the installations and all but seem to have a problem. i cannot format my flash drive. It now shows as a live CD (800 or so mb). Is there a way to fix the partition table back? I guess if i copy a partition table image from some other 8 gb drive that might fix the problem but i dont have any other flash drives. Is there a solution possible or am i stuck with a live usb forever

I'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?

After installing Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit, I can no longer rip CDs to MP3 format. I can play MP3 files on the computer just fine. And this isn't limited to a single application.I normally use Sound Juicer to rip my CDs. Under Edit >> Preferences >> Format, the drop down menu no longer lists MP3 as an output option; however, if I click on the "Edit Profiles" button, there is a "CD Quality, MP3" option and it is set to active.
I'm having the same problem with Rhythmbox. Under Edit >> Preferences >> Music, the "Preferred format" box is empty, the dropdown menu is grayed out, and clicking the "Edit" box only shows the same sound profiles as Sound Juicer with no way to make one enabled (yet they are marked as active).

Alright, I got a pair of darn nice stereo headphones over the past month and I'd like to maximize their use with the best audio format possible on my Ubuntu computers. I have a pretty extensive music collection but now going from using Itunes, Winamp, Banshee, etc formats seem to be getting pretty extensive. I want to know what the BEST overall quality audio format is. I'm only talking about simple listening, not editing, if it makes a difference.
I don't care what the size of the song comes out to here. If a 5 minute song ends up being 25mb, so be it. And what is your reason behind your choice, short and sweet.

I've stumbled upon the so-called pgf-format in a Digikam-related website. According to the makers of this format, it ought to be better than jpg.

I've just started to use Rythmbox, and as I was ripping CDs I noticed that the songs ripped as .ogg files by default. I use Rythmbox to sync with my iPod Classic (80 gig, if it matters), so I would prefer that the songs ripped in .mp3 or AAC. Is this possible without leaving Rythymbox? If not, what's the most user-friendly software available to rip CDs in .mp3 or AAC?

So the other day I plugged my iPod shuffle into my pc while booted into Ubuntu. I couldn't access it through rhythmbox, o I mistakenly figured the best thing to do would be to format it with the fat system. Big mistake. ended up turning out an error saying something along the lines of not being able to format the iPod in a 32 bit format.Now my iPod doesn't show up at all, and I have no clue where to go from here to get it formatted and set up for use with rhythmbox

Desired features:
1. Does not support DRM.
2. As lossless as possible.
3. Plays on Android devices including Xoom and Nexus One.
4. Supported by most major players.
5. If the best format is a bit lossy, then it has to be something I can get from most media stores.

I can play nearly any video format on my pc because I have loaded all of the nessessary software. But what about tvs? I loaded some videos onto my flash drive and then I inserted it into the usb port of a LCD tv. Nothing on the drive would play. I assume it is because tv have a limited number of formats that they will play.Now, if I intend to download videos and convert them so that they will play on a tv, what are my best options for..
#1 What is the preferred conversion software?
$2 What is the preferred format?
