The output from Kino isn’t suitable for burning a DVD. It’s one giant mpeg file (in this case dvd.mpeg<\/code>). In order to create the directory structure DVD’s use, you need dvdauthor. This program uses an XML file as input. The simplest is a DVD with one chapter on it that just plays when you put it in a DVD player. Here is dvd.xml:
\n<\/p>\n

<dvdauthor>\n
    <vmgm \/>\n
    <titleset>\n
        <titles>\n
            <pgc>\n
                <vob file=\"dvd.mpeg\" \/>\n
            <\/pgc>\n
        <\/titles>\n
    <\/titleset>\n
<\/dvdauthor>\n
<\/pre>\n
Then you run dvdauthor:  dvdauthor -o dvd_dir -x dvd.xml<\/code> which creates a directory called dvd_dir.  Then you need to run mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o dvd.iso dvd_dir\/<\/code> to create the file that will be used to burn the DVD.<\/p>\n
The Plextor DVD burner is an IDE unit, so SCSI emulation must be set up<\/a> for it.  For me, that meant adding the following lines to \/etc\/modules.conf:
\n<\/p>\n
# 27dec2003:  SCSI emulation for Plextor PX-708A DVD burner on \/dev\/hdc\n
options ide-cd ignore=hdc            # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdc so scsi can have it\n
alias scd1 sr_mod                    # load sr_mod upon access of scd1 (scd0 is CD burner)\n
pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg\n
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod\n
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd   before ide-scsi\n
<\/pre>\n
Burning a DVD threw me for a loop.  The Plextor burner supports DVD+RW and DVD-RW.  I bought +RW disks when I ordered it.  Initially I wanted to use RW disks for testing, so if I messed them up, I wouldn’t create a coaster.  Once I made a good disk, I’d use the DVD+R disks, as these are more likely to play in a standard DVD player.  The problem is, dvdrecord doesn’t work with plus media, only dash media, so I got this funny error:  <\/p>\n
Last chance to quit, starting real write in 0 seconds. Operation starts.\n
trackno=0\n
dvdrecord: Input\/output error. reserve track: scsi sendcmd: no error\n
CDB:  53 00 00 00 00 00 05 2C 30 00\n

Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)\n
cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 200s\n
dvdrecord: Cannot open new session.\n
<\/pre>\n
Using the tools from DVD+RW\/+R\/-R[W] for Linux<\/a> fixed that problem.  There’s a nice tutorial at the bottom of that page that explained everything.  I used these commands:   <\/p>\n
dvd+rw-mediainfo \/dev\/dvdrw\n
dvd+rw-format \/dev\/dvdrw\n
growisofs -Z \/dev\/dvdrw=dvd.iso <\/pre>\n
then ogle \/dev\/dvdrw<\/code> to play the new disc.<\/p>\n
One thing that still needs to be fixed is that the raw1394 module doesn’t get loaded automatically when Kino is started, so for now I have to check first with \/sbin\/lsmod | grep 1394<\/code> and modprobe raw1394<\/code> if it’s not there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
