RE: [Dvdrtools-users] Mashita DVD-RAM LF-D310

[Pence, Alan]

Jim,

I'm in the same boat.  I have the same Panasonic drive, and tried several
things to get it to burn dvdr disks under linux (you can burn dvd-ram).
What I am currently doing is making an ISO image on a unix machine, then I
move it to my burning machine under windows and burn using windows tools.
It is a crude work-a-round.  I would much prefer to burn the disk with the
UDF format, and do it under one OS.  It does sound like the task is more
complicated than one would assume, and painful as others can write to
alternative hardware.  It sounds like Pioneer is more open with information
than Panasonic/Matshita.

Let the list know if you hear any good news.

Cheers,
-Alan

I am working on a system with a DVD-R drive.  A cat of /proc/scsi/scsi
produces the following:

  Vendor: MATSHITA Model: DVD-RAM LF-D310  Rev: A116
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

"dvdrecord dev=1,0,0 -checkdrive" produces the following.

scsidev: '1,0,0'
scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'
Device type    : Removable CD-ROM
Version        : 0
Response Format: 2
Capabilities   :
Vendor_info    : 'MATSHITA'
Identifikation : 'DVD-RAM LF-D310 '
Revision       : 'A116'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD.
./dvdrecord: Sorry, no CD/DVD-Recorder or unsupported CD/DVD-Recorder found
on this target.

Checking the dvd-users mailing list archive I noticed others having this
same problem.

Is there work in progress to get this drive supported?

Thanks
