1. Weird problem with DVD
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
Hi all,
I have a weird problem with a DVD on eCS.
I just bought a DVD burner (Philips DVDR1660K), so I wanted to test it a thorughly as I could. I am a beginner when it comes to DVD burning.
I tried to throw at it all the discs I could, to test reading capabilities: no problems with CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs. Then tried with data DVDs and with commercial video DVDs, all without problems.
Then I tried a home-made video DVD from a friend of mine, that I had to copy. The unit would not read it, and the strange thing is the error message: Access denied.
I copied the DVD at the office (with WindowsXP and Nero), then tried again with the new copy at home: Access denied.
So I tried on my home PC, but under Linux: it mounted the DVD without problems. I can then exclude hardware problems, but still eCS won't let me see this DVD.

Someone suggested a problem with multisession DVDs, so I brought the DVD back to the office to analyze it better.

Nero tells me:
File system: UDF, ISO9660 (mode 1)
Title: DVR5000
region: all
capacity: 2.76GB
track path: single track
type: DVD-R

The DVD seems to be correctly finalized, and has only one session.
Now I am a bit unsure: is it normal that a video DVD has *BOTH* UDF and ISO9660 file systems on it? I thought video DVDs were UDF formatted. Can this be the problem?

Before someone asks: I have disabled everything related to RSJ in config.sys.

The error is "Access denied" (SYS0005).

Help anyone?
Thankyou!!
Bye

Cris

Was the 'disabling everything RSJ' before or after you tried the dvd drive?

I think your problem is that any DVD written using the Udf file system under windows will only be readable and not writeable under os/2 and vice versa. This is explained in the readme file that comes with ibm's udf driver for os/2.

Hope this helps

David,
thankyou! I did not know about that.
BTW, the error is returned trying to _read_ the DVD (which has been written on Windows), so this should not be a problem (according to your explanation).
