pBurn 4.3.19

[zigbert]

Much has been done for the next release.
- Support of BD-RE (rewritable blu-rays)
- Verify iso-images burnt to DVD/Blu-ray
- ...
Only one 'nut' remains to crack. I am not able to blank a BD-RE. It is not absolutely necessary, but Pburns infrastructure check in many occasions for blank discs. Both DVD and Blu-rays needs to be formatted at first burn. Next you use the -M switch for multisession and -Z for starting over again. Still dvd+rw-format re-blank the DVD+-RW after burnt sessions, but for BD-RE nothing happens. (And I can't redefine the used disc as blank.) That means Pburn needs to give the user a new option - Overwrite existing data instead of the 'blank' option. And what I don't like - is complex guis with more options. Do you know about a way to blank/erase/format my BD-RE after the first burnt session?


Thanks alot
Sigmund

My LG Blu-Ray burner apparently crapped out right in the middle of burning a Blu-Ray disk full of mp3 files (with Pburn 3.5.2. I couldn't download Pburn 3.7.0 until just now). Now the drive can't see any kind of disk.

Often it works just to start writing a first session. This can be done in Pburn 3.7.0 by activating the checkbox - Overwrite existing data on disc. You'll find this in the burn-option dialog. If you don't reach it because Pburn detects a corrupted disc, please try to start Pburn with the -c switch

Code: Select all

pburn -c

You can also do it the cli way by simply executing a burn command like

Code: Select all

growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -f -iso-level 3 -D -R -J -joliet-long /root/.pburn

or try to format the disc

Code: Select all

dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0

this does not seem to work for all kinds of BD drives.... A full format is also a choice, but takes very long time.

Code: Select all

growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/zero

The drive doesn't even report that there's a disk in it - any kind of disk - so Pburn just says "No disk inserted" and does nothing. The drive doesn't see my multisession Puppy DVD either. I've already bought a new Blu-Ray burner, an Asus BW-12B1ST, I just haven't replaced the bad one with it yet.

But this code does not work for 'pt' vs. 'pt_BR' and etc.

[shinobar]

Both pburn and pmusic kills another applications when exiting pburn or pmusic.

Occurred pburn killed geaney. Probably because the geaney was accessing the /usr/locak/pburn directory.

pmusic killed ffconvert. Probably because both were using ffmpeg.

Thank you for the corrections!

I have changed the help-code to:

Code: Select all

	[ $LANGUAGE = auto ] && NLS=$LANG || NLS=$LANGUAGE #$NLS is temporarly, and only used here
	if [ -f /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%.*}/pburn.html ]; then
		$BROWSER /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%.*}/pburn.html &
	elif [ -f /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%_*}/pburn.html ]; then #fallback to macrolanguage if available (ISO 639-1 two letter code: en, es, fr, etc.)
		$BROWSER /usr/share/doc/help/${NLS%_*}/pburn.html &
	else
		$BROWSER /usr/share/doc/pburn.html &
	fi

works ok with both pt and pt_BR.

I haven't seen Pburn kill anything (else you use the emergency button). - I have Geany open 'all' the time ...... ???

Yes, Pmusic kills ffmpeg. We should look for an improved solution to kill only ffmpeg that is Pmusic-related.
line 25 in func_kill

Code: Select all

	for I in `echo "$TMP" | grep -F "ffmpeg" | awk '{print $1}'`; do kill -9 $I 2> /dev/null; done

Version 3.7.1
See main post

Changelog
- Hyperlinks in helpfile.
- Bugfix: Show Help when not using english language. (thanks to shinobar)
- Bugfix: Detect correct mediatype when copy data-disc.
- NLS: Added: LOC602

[shinobar]

Tnx zigbert. Confirmed the help file fix by 3.7.1.

I haven't seen Pburn kill anything (else you use the emergency button). - I have Geany open 'all' the time ...... ???

Maybe it is rare case and not serious.

1. Open any file under /usr/local/pburn by geaney.
2. Start pburn.
3. Quit pburn.

A few weeks ago I noticed that Pburn seemed to cause Geany to close when Pburn was opened. At least, I think it was Pburn. It's been a while.

I tried to burn 22 GB of mp3 files from a flash drive onto a BD-RE the other day and the burner, an LG, stopped at 45% done, apparently broken. It wouldn't read any kind of disk at all. So I bought a new burner, an Asus this time, and continued to experiment with BD-RE. I tried full blanking the BD-RE with Pburn 3.7.0. It got 45% of the way through before it, too, stopped with an error message. I tried to save the log but I guess I clicked the wrong button or something because I couldn't find the log where I thought I put it. So I tried fast blanking the BD-RE disk. That seemed to work ok. But when I again tried to burn the 22 GB of mp3 files, Pburn stops immediately with this error:

Code: Select all

###################################################
   OUTPUT:

:-( /dev/sr0 doesn't look like isofs...

As far as I can tell, there is nothing on the disk at all. There certainly shouldn't be anything on it. But why does Pburn seem to expect to find an isofs on it? Do I need to format it now? Can Pburn do that? Even though the drive does see the disk (the disk icon shows up on the desktop after I put the disk in the drive), Puppy can't mount it. I assume that's because there is no filesystem on the disk.

This is interesting!
Did you read the red message introduced in 3.7.0?
Did you understand it?
Or, didn't it work to 'overwrite existing data'?

[zigbert]

Tnx zigbert. Confirmed the help file fix by 3.7.1.

Maybe it is rare case and not serious.

1. Open any file under /usr/local/pburn by geaney.
2. Start pburn.
3. Quit pburn.

Confirmed!
Does not happen if another file is open in the first tab in Geany


Thank you

Sigmund, I did see the message about not needing to blank. At the time, I was trying to burn the 22 GB of mp3 files to the BD-RE that my old Blu-Ray burner quit halfway through burning the same files. The disk would mount and seemed to have ALL the mp3 files on it that were supposed to be there, so I didn't know what was going on and decided to blank it so that I could be sure of what I was seeing when Pburn tried again with the new burner.

This morning I had trouble getting on the forum at first, so I installed Firefox from the package manager, thinking that perhaps I had borked my SeaMonkey somehow. After Firefox was installed, the package manager reported something like "core_utils_dvd_rw_tools is missing". Could that cause a problem with Pburn, and where can I find that missing file? It's not in Racy's repository.

(I should mention before I forget to do it again that I'm running Puppy Racy 5.3 from a multisession DVD.)

I doubt you miss anything to burn Blu-ray/DVD.
You can test it with these 2 commands. If the result is like shown everything is ok

Code: Select all

# which growisofs
/usr/bin/growisofs
# 
#
# which mkisofs
/usr/bin/mkisofs

Sigmund

[Flash]

Code: Select all

# # which growisofs
# /usr/bin/growisofs
/usr/bin/growisofs: previous "session" device is not specified, do use -M or -Z option
# #
# #
# # which mkisofs
# /usr/bin/mkisofs
genisoimage: Missing pathspec.
Usage: genisoimage [options] -o file directory ...

Use genisoimage -help
to get a list of valid options.

Perhaps I've told Pburn the wrong name for the drive. I used sr0, which is what it reported. No, I told Pburn to blank the disk again and here's the log report:

Code: Select all

I blanked the disk again, then attempted to burn the same thing to it with the same result. Again I tried to save the Pburn log and again it wasn't where I thought it should be. This time I also took a screen shot of the error message:

Did you check the overwrite-box?
