Hi all

Can anyone me to interpret and fix the following error when I try
to write a DVD in Etch. This approach has always served me well, until
now. I can't see that I am doing anything untoward, but as they say
"many eyes make shallow bugs" ...

This is the output when trying to burn a video to DVD:

~/DVD/RAW_DVD$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc -dvd-video ./dvd
Executing 'mkisofs -dvd-video ./dvd | builtin_dd of=/dev/hdc obs=32k seek=0'
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
Unknown file type (unallocated) ./dvd/.. - ignoring and continuing.
:-( /dev/hdc: 2295104 blocks are free, 2299899 to be written!
:-( write failed: No space left on device


I am using a blank DVD so what gives??

Thanks in (hopeful) anticipation!

Cheers

/A

Try growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=./dvd

If not try:-

growisofs -dvd-compat -overburn -Z /dev/hdc=./dvd

If not try:-

growisofs -speed=2 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=./dvd


Or whatever speed works for your DVD burner.
