[Bug 14692] Re: hal detects written DVD as empty

[Gaele Strootman]

I'm not sure if my problem is exactly the same, but it's pretty close.
Written data DVD's aren't detected at all by my DVD writer.

1. Empty DVD's are recognized as such, and I can write to them with CD/DVD Creator.
2. Once written, if I re-enter the DVD it's not detected at all. It's not mounted.

/var/log/messages:

Dec  1 01:25:23 localhost kernel: [  477.214504] cdrom: This disc
doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

python cdcaps.py /dev/hdb:

CDO_USE_FFLAGS returned 13
got drive capabilities: 23fbef
CDC_DVD_RAM support
CDC_DVD_R support

CDC_CD_R support
got disc status: 101

System:

Ubuntu Edgy
AMD64
Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110

However:
3. The DVD is detected and mounted by my CD-ROM writer in another computer.

System:

Ubuntu Edgy
i386
QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242U

I tried this with several DVD's, including some old ones written on
Dapper.
