Problem burning DVDs

[Cyberpagan]

I just installed a new DVD recorder, and I have some difficulties to get it working.

Here's what happened at my last try:

No ideas anyone? The writer is a Samsung WriteMaster SH-S202J.

Re: Problem burning DVDs

I am having the same problems with cd/dvd buring. No data / iso burns with k3b.

I installed the nero demo and it works fine. At least until k3b / wodim gets sorted.

sorry I can't be of more help.

Just tried Nero, and it also doesn't work. Here's what the log says:

Bummer -- that's not a good one.

Brasero is a pretty good burning app too, but I fear we already know what we're going to see ....

Re: Problem burning DVDs

I'll test a different DVD writer tonight and see if it's the writer or the system...

Re: Problem burning DVDs

OK, I kinda solved the problem: the new writer (Samsung SH-S202J) works fine in my girlfriend's computer, and her writer (also a Samsung, but the older SH-W162C) works fine in mine, so we simply swapped the DVD writers and are happy now

Brilliant! The power of 2!
