johnz Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 :D I have a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105 (1-4x), now when a blank DVD is loaded into this drive k3b does'nt open automatically like when a blank CD is loaded. Then i try to write some mp3's to the DVD with k3b and again it does'nt recognise the DVD in the drive. The DVD's are just the standard RW 120min 4.7GB recordables that you get from the stores, my goal is to burn an avi to the DVD's but at the moment cant even burn an mp3 file, Do you know if i need to install anything or know whats up?

tyme Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 you may need to install dvdrwtools (or a similarly named package), as it may not be part of the default install of mandriva. i can't verify this, but it would be the best first step to check on. use the install programs tool in mandriva control center.

Pepse Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Could it be a problem with it being a Pioneer?? I just bought a LiteOn DVD burner Sunday and K3B recognized when I put a DVD-R in it. Only problem I had was that, just for pratice, I tried to copy my Mandiva LE 2005 PowerPack DVD and it wouldn't copy because I was out of room on the DVD. But I installed all the DVD software in windows 98 and I copied that same DVD with no problems. Later. Pepse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Any chance you are feeding it wrong media? 105 was one of the last drives that supported only minus media - DVD-R(W), so it won't work with DVD+R(W) media. And yes, before using it su -c "urpmi dvd+rw-tools" Edited January 11, 2006 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best things about linux is solving matters don't you think?
