Description Lee Trager 2005-09-06 22:40:15 UTC
I recently recieved some DVD images that I needed to burn and found that some of
them could not be burnt with k3b/growisofs. Every time I would try to burn a DVD
image I would get an input out put error(posted below). I downloaded the Nero
for Linux trial and it worked fine. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up k3b
2. Select burn a DVD burn
3. Select a DVD image
4. Click burn

Actual Results:

Also note that it does not appear to be related to bug #95357 I tried their
patch and ebuild I get the same results.
Comment 2 Lee Trager 2005-09-07 19:04:54 UTC
I think this problem is with mkisofs/cdrecord. I just tried to burn a normal
data CD and I got an error.

It seems to be a kernel problem. I've searched in kernel mailing list and some
users report the same problem, for kernel version >=2.6.13. Read more:

Workaround: burn DVD with kernel <2.6.13.

I'm searching for possibly fault code in kernel sources, 2.6.12 and 2.6.13,
probably in ide_cd module.

Comment 6 Michael Ploujnikov 2006-01-20 09:37:30 UTC
I was burning my DVDs just fine with the 2.6.14 kernel untill I decided to do gentoo update last week. After updating about 90 packages, and keeping the same kernel, every other DVD that I tried to burn would fail with:

":-( unable to PERFORM OPC: Input/output error"

see the full k3b output in the attachments. (k3b debug output)

I thought this was a bug in the new k3b, but after performing the growisofs command mentioned in the debug info, I got the same error once, and the second time, the DVD burned fine...
Seeing that there is only one version of dvd+rw-tools in portage, I can't see which upgraded package actually causes this problem.
Comment 7 Michael Ploujnikov 2006-01-20 20:10:33 UTC
In my case, I noticed that after the error occurs dmesg prints:
hdc: irq timeout: status=0x90 { Busy }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: DMA disabled
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
hdc: lost interrupt

and something turns off DMA on my dvd burner according to hdparm
Comment 8 mutlu_inek 2006-04-14 14:34:30 UTC
I had the same (?) input/output error with version 5.21. It seemed like DVDs had only the lenght of CDs, any further writing (somewhere above 700MB) resulted in an error.
I 'solved' the problem by upgrading to dvd+rw-tools' unstable version 6.1.


This was a typical output growisofs gave:

I had this error:
:-( Failed to change write speed: 2770->3324

and it went away after I upgraded to dvd+rw-tools-6.1, it's probably safe to mark it stable, imo. 
Comment 10 Devang M 2006-04-20 09:34:34 UTC
also got this while upgrading:
QA Notice: ECLASS 'portability' inherited illegally in app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8

i've been getting a lot of these recently..
Comment 11 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-02 19:02:28 UTC
Can you test with app-cdr/cdrkit-{1.0,1.1.0} and app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-7.0?
