I've got some really terrible dual layer dvd media someone gave me because they couldn't get it to work on about 3 different computers with both windows and linux. I can't get it to work either, and the messages I get are very similar to the above, so this may be a media problem (I haven't tried any other media because I never really had much need for it anyway, but dimly reall the person who gave me the rotten media says he got other media to work OK).
I wish that was the problem, but I doubt it, because I paid premium price to buy top brand media.
Is the media recommended by the drive vendor? E.g. for an LG drive the only recommended dual-layer media is Verbatim.
well well, look what i found... interesting... today i'm having the SAME problem: Fedora 7 wodim 1.1.6-6 Plextor DVD Media: Verbatim DVD-R DL, TDK DVD+R DL Multiple brands (Verbatim/TDK) and types (+R/-R), all the same problem, which appears when the drive tries to burn the layer switch (dvd_dual_layer_split). No solution so far.
oh, and here is another guy with the same problem (liteon drive): http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debburn-devel/2007-September/000468.html this bug doesn't look like drive or media related, i'd say there is a problem with wodim.
yup, here is another guy with the same problem: http://openclue.org/user/10/ solution: use growisofs instead, chances are wodim won't be fixed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. 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 prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
