Created attachment 848681 [details] K3b output saved from a failed session. Description of problem: I'm unable to burn a blu-ray disc using k3b with default settings using Fedora 20. Recording output says "write error" or "mkisofs failed". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): k3b -v Qt: 4.8.5 KDE Development Platform: 4.11.5 K3b: 2.0.2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to burn a blu-ray disc using k3b default settings. 2. 3. Actual results: Recording fails almost at starting. Write error/mkisofs failed Expected results: Ability to burn single and double BD without problems. Additional info:
If mkisofs fails, then it's a mkisofs bug. When/if it fails again, can you post the k3b log ?

Hi again Rex, I don't know if you could read my latest email response because I don't see it here reflected. So I repeat the point: I'm not sure if the problem is related to a bug in k3b or mkisofs because today I have made a clean install of Fedora 20 and the error today was "write error". I was dealing with this issue yesterday with a Fedora 20 updated from alpha and the errors yesterday was "mkisofs failed" and "write error"... I yesterday tried k3b latest git source and latest Cdrtools without luck and many new bd-r discs wasted... I have attached in my previous post what I think is k3b log of today failed session. Thanks a lot, Alberto.
In the log you attached to your original message, it's growisofs failing, not mkisofs. Reassigning to dvd+rw-tools where growisofs comes from. K3b defaults to growisofs for BluRay burning on Fedora. Last I checked, wodim (cdrkit) did not support BluRay at all, and we cannot ship cdrecord (cdrtools) for licensing reasons.
Hello again, I still have no luck burning blank blu-ray discs using k3b. Maybe this problem is related to other bug I reported before. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038650 Thanks a lot, Alberto Segura.

Created attachment 852374 [details] Success recording dvd+r disc according to k3b log The problem only occurrs burning blank blu-ray discs. My device works well burning a dvd+r disc. I don't know if the problem is caused by bad discs (Mediarange branded) but it is the brand of blu-ray disc I use to burn and sometimes they worked well. Thanks, Alberto.

Today I was able to burn a blu-ray disc without problems using Nero Linux. I can discard defective blank media/burner and blame k3b or dvd+rw-tools. Thanks, Alberto.
I have experienced some errors during burning session using Nero linux too. I attach its log.

So this looks a lot like defective or unreliable hardware to me. Nero uses completely different burning code from growisofs and it also fails. Looks like your first attempt with Nero happened to hit the one working medium, or happened to not trigger some intermittent issue with the burner.
Hi Kevin, It is a possibility, but I used to burn correctly (sometimes with some error) in Fedora 19 using K3b. Maybe the device fails sometimes. I will keep on trying! :) Thanks, Alberto.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Hello, Now I'm able to burn bds at low speed (4x) using k3b, you can close it... Thanks, Alberto. :)
Thanks.
I have related ongoing issue to this that is NOT growisofs related(or so it seems) where it stops at 99% and fails to fixate the medium.Using optical quantums and LG 14/16 series bdrom drives. K3B always seems to error out here.I cannot check with hi-cap media as nobody has written the awkward 33GB shifted code yet. xfburn doesnt have this problem. And Im fresh out of blanks right now.
I can burn bds using k3b latest f23b version with good quality disc (TDK for example) sorry for the ad, and selecting burning speed 4x for this kind of disks. I have no try with k3b "automatic" burning speed now, at first it fails when this bug was reported. Thanks a lot, Alberto. :)
