When I look at the code in burn.sh (from cvs of vdrconvert), I have noticed that a parameter is missing to support ATAPI writers with dvdrecord. The attached patch seems to work. Also, a change to vdrconvert.env is required if this patch is applied. For example: #MEDIAWRITER="/dev/hdc:0,0,0" MEDIAWRITER="/dev/hdc:ATAPI:0,0,0" Regards, C.Y.M. -------------- next part -------------- --- vdrconvert/bin/burn.sh.orig 2004-12-29 04:35:38.000000000 -0800 +++ vdrconvert/bin/burn.sh 2005-02-12 06:16:11.000000000 -0800 @@ -49,7 +49,8 @@ # Devices [ -z "$MEDIAWRITER" ] && MEDIAWRITER="/dev/scd0:0,0,0" WRITER=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 1 -d ':'` -WRITER_ADR=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 2 -d ':'` +WRITER_DEV=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 2 -d ':'` +WRITER_ADR=`echo $MEDIAWRITER|cut -f 3 -d ':'` # Options [ -z "$DVDPLUS_RECORD_OPTS" ] && DVDPLUS_RECORD_OPTS="-Z" [ -z "$DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS" ] && DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS="-dao driveropts=burnfree" @@ -174,7 +175,7 @@ $SVDRPSEND MESG $MEDIA_MSG_START_WRITE_IMAGE >> /dev/null 2>&1 case $DVDTYPE in "DVD-RW"|"DVD-R") - $DVDMIN_RECORDCMD $DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS dev=$WRITER_ADR $DATA + $DVDMIN_RECORDCMD $DVDMIN_RECORD_OPTS dev=$WRITER_DEV:$WRITER_ADR $DATA ;; *) $DVD_RECORDCMD $DVDPLUS_RECORD_OPTS "$WRITER=$DATA"
