Ubuntu :: When Try To Burn Recording To DVD / It Fails On Growisofs
Sep 13, 2010
I'm running hauppauge 2250 tuners (2 of them, 4 tuners total).I have the tuners set up and working although when booting up they worked intermitantly until I went through backend setup and restarted the frontend.I solved this by adding a 30 second sleep before backend startup and this seems to have fixed this.I'm still having trouble with burning and ripping dvds.I can play dvds in vlc and mythtv (mythtv since adding the sleep line). but when I try to burn a recording to dvd it fails on growisofs.I get an error 1.I've set the correct region with regionset and I have the dvd codecs.
i have got an ISO file that i need to burn.gnome baker often fails... i have got a netbook and my external burner is sdrw-08d1s-u..... chose a burning program 4 ubuntu that burns also mp3 avi ecc..
I recently installed OpenSuse 11.1 (i586) on a new laptop (HP 6710b) all has been going well, until I tried to burn audio CDs with K3B using .wav files in a directory in the format 01.wav 02.wav 03.wav etc. To burn the audio CDs I have been running K3B as root to avoid any potential permission issues. I now have a stack of cd 'coasters' with only one lucky success using the command line, which when the exact command was repeated failed again. I have successfully burnt 2 data DVDs using K3B, one as root the second as user, both without problem - so maybe it is not a permissions problem?
I am using K3b 1.0.5 in KDE 4.1.3. (it runs under KDE3) I have not been able to run k3bsetup � it is not part of the installation. However permissions appear correctly set-up � I also added the appropriate users to the group �disk�.
/dev/cdrom lrw-rw----root disk (just points to /dev/sr0) /dev/sr0 -rw-rw---- root disk /usr/bin/cdrecord lrwxr-xr-x root root (just points to /usr/bin/wodim) /usr/bin/wodim-rwxr-xr-xroot root
K3b uses the executables in /usr/bin/x11/ which are just the same. I have not put suid on anything. I tried running cdrecord as a user, however the burn failed.I checked the .wav files and they play fine in kaffeine. I am using the same brand of blank CDs as the DVDs.I have not had the occasion to try a data CD � I've run out of blank disks for the moment.
K3b detects my DVD/CD burner as:
The system device is /dev/sr0 interfaceGeneric SCSI Vendor HL-DT-ST DescriptionDVDRAM GSA-T40L FirmwareKC07
I tried burning audio CDs in both TAO and DAO mode, neither with success.
I can't burn dvds double layer at all. I managed to ruin 3 DVDs so far (DVD burner from fedora says an error unknown appeared and that burn failed. I tried with Gnomebaker and I got:
[Code]...
If you need more info, tell me what you need (also what command to use) and I will write it. I am wondering whether the problem is with the DVDs or if it's a hardware problem.
I use the growisofs command from the terminal to do most of my burning. Mostly because i burn almost the exact same type of file every time so its pretty easy to set up. I've done this dozens of times and never once had a problem before. I loved it because it was so much simpler than doing this in windows where i would need to install a few extra programs and codecs. That was up until today where it started failing every single time i tried to burn something.
For some reason every time i try to burn a disc it gives me this error message:
Code:
I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. Every thread i found that discussed this problem was mostly focused on k3b or brasero and never really answered the question. As far as i know nothing has been updated since the last time i burned a disc a few days ago. Everything is exactly the same as it was when it worked. The only thing i could think of that might have caused this sudden failure is that i flashed the firmware of another cd drive using the same sata port that this drive is currently plugged into, but that was in windows so i dont see how it could have affected this drive.
To backup files residing on my system, I've been using mkisofs to create an empty iso file, and then populating it using growisofs: (in an empty directory)
This was working well for isos to be written to a single-layer DVD, but when I tried to add more data meant to be written to a dual-layer disc, I get this:
":-( next session would cross 4GB boundary, aborting..." I've done some searching and it seems that -use-the-force-luke should have helped, but doesn't. I assume the problems lies with mkisofs in creating an empty iso, but not sure how to get around it. I've only started dabbling with these tools in the past few days. Is it possible to create an empty iso with growisofs, or is there another way of creating an iso file that can contain enough data for a dual-layer disc? I really would like to be able to populate an empty iso as there are scripts involved & the availability of data being backed up might not be available immediately (data being sent for backup from other teams, for example).
I make a script to automate burning backup files on dvd. It works fine if I start it from root user, but if I start it. From cronjob do noting. I try on growisofs the option -use-the-force-luke=force but nothing happens. I check the env of cron:
HOME=/root LOGNAME=root PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin PWD=/root SHELL=/bin/bash SHLVL=1 XDG_SESSION_COOKIE=3e0d70f7b71074a0b1fff4bb4aa97d13-1281297181.926502-724038309 _=/usr/bin/env and it seems ok i've got my script in /usr/local/bin and growisofs in /usr/bin
Code of my script below: #!/bin/bash bkup_path='/bkrepo/'; prefix='PAR*'; totdimfile=0 for FILE in $(/bin/ls -r $bkup_path$prefix)
do dimfile=`/bin/ls -l $FILE | /usr/bin/awk -F " " '{print $5}' ` let "totdimfile += dimfile"; if [ "$totdimfile" -lt "4700000000" ] then NAMEFILE=`/bin/ls -l $FILE | /usr/bin/awk -F " " '{print $8}' ` ALLNAMEFILE="$ALLNAMEFILE $NAMEFILE"; fi done
/usr/bin/growisofs -use-the-force-luke=force -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J $ALLNAMEFILE /usr/bin/growisofs -M /dev/scd0=/dev/zero /usr/bin/eject end code of my script
I use growisofs to burn image or data files into DVDs. In its manpage it refered that it's a combined genisoimage frontend/DVD recording program. while in genisoimage's manpage
Note that genisoimage is not designed to communicate with the writer directly. Most writers have proprietary command sets which vary from one manufacturer to another, and you need a specialized tool to actually burn the disc. wodim is one such tool. The latest version of wodim is available from [URL]
So,genisoimage still is a front end program. so when my using growisfo to burn something, which bin was used to actually do the burning job? wodim? I am using debian 5.0.4
I need to create backup of internal drive and write it on DVD. I want to do this in single command...like below: ntfsclone -f --save-image --overwrite - /dev/sda1 | growisofs -Z /dev/sr1=/dev/stdin
in above command, i tried to to create backup of first partition of internal drive and need to write this backup on DVD. But above command has some probolem due to which it could not write backup on DVD....and how to read from standard input in 'growisofs' command?

Whenever I try running ANY screen recording program, my desktop runs too slow to use. I don't think this is a problem with my hardware capabilities, as I used to be able to record my screen perfectly in Windows, whilst doing multiple other tasks. I've installed the ATi/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver.
i can't record with my mic anymore. I went to do so in audacity and i only get the noise it hears through the headphones. I am recording a second vocal track. The first track is the music. I looked at the alsamixer and the mic was originally muted and i unmuted. Should line be muted when i am using the mic? I also tried to record with the mic in sound recorder but got nothing there either.
found one other post with this same issue, and the final reply was "I give up"...I got a fresh 9.1 install. I just want to record some audio, but it's only recording on one channel, the left channel.I tried audacity and sound recorder. checked the sound preferences, Hardware set to Analog Stereo Duplex. In audacity Preferences > Devices > Recording, 2 (Stereo) is selected.When recording in audacity the output meter for the left channel shows activity while the right channel looks like it goes up a little bit but doesn't peak like the left channel. I hear fuzziness in the right but all the sound is in the left
I use Kaffeine to record live TV to disk for later playback. I've been putting up with Kaffeine's little foibles for the last little while, but tonight (for the second night in a row) I accidentally closed it and consequently it didn't record anything.
Is there any software I can use to construct a recording schedule which will then not be dependent on me remembering to leave a particular app running? I don't really need this in MPEG4 or anything. The PC stays on 24x7 - I just need it to launch a recording at the correct time.
I've avoided MythTV in all it's incarnations because I want the computer to still function as a normal PC most of the time, and from my admittedly brief trial of MythTV it took over the PC and wouldn't let me open a web browser or a mail client.
I am currently running Ubuntu 9.04 and am looking at upgrading to the upcoming 10.04 LTS release. And have been trying out the new version using the release candidate live CD. The main problem is one that was also evident when 9.04 was originally installed - audio recording and monitoring simply is not working. With 9.04 it took several hours of head-banging and reading HOW-TOs and guides to get to the point where audio input to the sound card played through the speakers and can be recorded by programs such as Audacity.
I've been trying to poke around with 10.04 to get the same results and so far had no success. (Things have changed sufficiently that it does not seem straightforward to simply replicate my 9.04 settings.) This is on 64-bit Ubuntu with a Soundblaster Audigy sound card. It's a little disappointing that we are not yet at the point where this type of basic functionality is working "out of the box" with Ubuntu. Anyone have any tips to setting up 10.04 for audio recording and monitoring?
Although I never did get this working with the live CD, recording worked fine after doing a test installation of Lucid on a spare hard drive. With the live CD the primary line input was not even showing up in alsamixer. With Lucid installed it was no problem to find and crank up the volume on this input. In actuality then, once the installation was actually done it took much less fiddling with this release than it did with 9.04 to get the same results.
I've been using Linux for a good six months now, and I'm loving it. I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04. When I was using 9.10, I couldn't use ANY screen recording software (Trust me, I tried a lot), as it made my desktop 'lag' so much but I just thought it was a problem with my OS, because when I was running Windows Seven I could record my desktop perfectly in HD, whilst running a lot of other applications.
My computer isn't exactly amazing spec, got a dual core 2.20ghz processor, and 256mb ATi Raedon graphic card.
Since recently upgrading to 10.04, I still can't record my desktop due to 'lag'.
Will this be a problem with my hardware? Is my computer just not powerful enough to record my desktop on Ubuntu? Or is another problem which I haven't even thought about?
I have a problem with my Video recording without any sound. I have looked into the fixes of the 64bit MMPEG upgrades and gone through what steps I can find to fix the problem, although even after going through the re-compile in konsole, as well as then removing it and trying again using K Package Manager, I still have no Audio with my Video when recording in Cheese.Cheese records the video in ogv format, and I have attempted to convert the ogv file to avi format using VLC. I am able to watch the video in both VLC and Dragon Player... but no sound, just video. I have used Cheese to record video's using Ubuntu 8.10 onwards, but my current Kubuntu 10.04.01 (and when I had 10.04) has no sound in the recordings. I have not changed microphone, and I have checked all my connections. I can hear voice in the speakers through the microphone. I am using on board sound, which I have no other issues with. The error message I get tells me that my MMPEG install lacks the AAC Audio Codec.
I can watch the show.mpg file while its recoding using VLC, Xine, Mplayer... pretty much any video player.
This is nice because i can pause, rewind, and fast-forward live TV, just like all the commercial DVRs out there.
The problem with this method is returning to "Live TV" mode. When using a commercial DVR, when you are fast-forwarding and reach "Live TV", the player stops fast-forwarding and begins playing the live TV in real-time. When doing the same thing with Xine or VLC, the player simply stops when you reach the EOF.
Is there a player that mimics this? When it get close to the EOF, it switches from Fast-Forward to play?
I used to have MythTV, but it way too bloated for what I want to do.
I want to record conversations and stuff from skype. Now, I want the sound to be as good as possible, so what settings do I choose, what do I mute and all the other volume combinations and settings do I configure etc... To get the best record possible, I need to record from both pc and mic at the same time, but how? As my settings are now I can only record through the mic. So, what do I do? Also, if you could give me a few tips on how I can filter useless background noise.
I've installed jEdit following instructions here [URL]... In trying to record a macro Macros > Record Macro I can see "Macro recording" message in status bar but no macro code is generated and no macro can be run. on getting macros to work in jEdit?
I know that pressing ctrl+alt+shift+R enables me to record my screen, but I can't merge my voice with it. Is it limited to video recording without audio? If that's true, how can I merge two separate an audio file with video file (Gnome produces *.webm videos by default)
I have a 14TB raid, file system is read-only and I am trying to run e2fsck -B -p -C -v -y /dev/sdb1, it goes through, but fails and says bad block/inode or fails to transfer, something like that.Is there a way I can get this to run successful, this is a production storage server, its critical.
I am using a microphone to record a sound with gnome recorder. All I get is noise. If I am yelling at the top of my voice, then I get a feeble sound o/p in mid of a lot of noise. I know my mic is alright. I use skype and during a call, the other person can hear me very well. So the problem is not mic. So I shall have to tweak the gnome recorder to get a better o/p.
No progress viewing input yet in Linux. I installed MythTV, VLC, and no luck yet with vids or sound.I had video input with Windows Movie Maker, and Media Player Classic (3rd party), but no sound in either.
I use the friendly interactive shell, or fish, as my default shell. I find it much more user-friendly than bash, but lately (as in for the last 2 months, give or take)dding new entries to .config/fish/fish_history and .config/fish/fish_history.tmp. this means when I press up I don't get the last command I typed, but rather the last command from before the bug occurred. I have no idea why this could be and have tried several tricks but none of them have worked. I have made a bug report on launchpad but I was hoping someone here who knows more about shells would know a workaround.The things that I have tried:removing the files to see if it creates a new onemaking sure I have write access to the filesremoving the files and then using touch to create a blank one
Does anyone know of a good time keeping/recording program for Ubuntu that I can use to log hours spent on a project for billing purposes? I'm getting back to doing some web work to make some extra cash, and would love to have a program that does this.
i just got this usb turn table and when im in windows, i can listen to the vinyls when they are recording. i was just wondering if i could do the same when in ubuntu.
