GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 474325
Support for blu-ray discs
Last modified: 2018-09-21 16:25:29 UTC
Just a reminder bug that cdrtools >=cdrtools-2.01.01a29 supports blu-ray like dvd+rw-tools 7.0. This is a feature that should be added to brasero.
Just add this urls as a reminder for more information about blu-ray http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/cdrecord/?branch_id=1139&release_id=257076
From what i've seen burn-medium is ready for Blu-ray discs and cdrecord plugin seems fine too except the mkisofs backend maybe someone can give some test.
Hi, just to let you know, I've started to add Blu-ray support (as well as DVD-RAM). The first step is to have brasero properly recognize those media, I started to commit some changes to trunk. Then I'll enable these types in the plugins. Could someone with a blu-ray device attach a log (brasero -g > log 2>&1) to this bug with 1 BD-ROM, 1 BD-R, 1 BD-RE inserted please (with and without data on them if possible). Thanks in advance.

Thanks Peter. Sorry for not getting back at you sooner. We have had a lot on our plate lately and BD / DVD-RAM support has stalled though I added initial support for both. There is still more to do, but I'll keep you updated. Now I think it will be for 0.9.
Hallo Philippe, thanks for your mail. I'm available for tests with my DVD-RAM drives. I have three different devices: --- o LG "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N" (integrated SATA Notebook-Model) -> read an write CD-R,CD-RW,DVD-R,DVD-RW,DVD+R,DVD+RW and DVD-RAM --- o an old Hitachi "GF 2000" (5.25" IDE Cartridge-Model connected via Firewire/IEEE1394a /!\ only writes DVD-RAM --- o an standalone DVD-Recorder Panasonic "DMR-E60" (Cartridge-Model) --- Bis denn, Lödur
Hello, I have been busy for a long time and left that issue aside; I'm ready to work on it again. As a first step, I re-read the code tonight and now libbrasero-media should be able to do the following: - detect BDs and DVD-RAM - retrieve speeds - retrieve capacity - retrieve contents (number of tracks, size of each track, start address, ...) So I'd like you to test this code. At the moment, I just want media to be correctly probed first; then I'll add support to backends which for some like growisofs shouldn't take long (libburn on the other hand will require more work). Please use SVN trunk (0.9.2) and try "brasero --brasero-media-debug > log 2>&1" with all kinds of possible media (BD-RE, BD-R, DVD-RAM, ...). Then attach your logs to this bug. You can also check that the (re)writable media inserted correctly appear in the medium selection widget in say image option dialog. Thanks in advance.
Make this bug open so someone can help us test it.
Created attachment 128921 [details] BD-RE log wth --brasero-media-debug (2.25.90) BD-RE is not properly detected for me. This is with brasero-2.25.90. Attaching the log with --brasero-media-debug. Don't know if it helps. The error message seems a bit vague.
Thanks for your help and your log. It doesn't look that bad (though there are indeed inconsistencies). Could you confirm the following information: - the medium type is BD RW - or RE - (OK your already said it) - it has been already used/it has been already formatted - there aren't any data on it or it was erased - the medium size is around 22G - speed is around 2x Inconsistencies (fixed in trunk now): - it tries to retrieve DVD id - it checks simulation and burnfree and even reports they are supported So when you say it isn't properly detected, you mean it doesn't show up in dialogs?
>- it has been already used/it has been already formatted >- there aren't any data on it or it was erased Right. It has a UDF file system but is otherwise empty. >- the medium size is around 22G Correct. >- speed is around 2x I really don't know. >So when you say it isn't properly detected, you mean it doesn't show up in >dialogs? Exactly. Like you mentioned in comment #7 to check if it appears in the selection widget. It does not. >Inconsistencies (fixed in trunk now): >- it tries to retrieve DVD id >- it checks simulation and burnfree and even reports they are supported I can test with a svn build if you like. Is there a live ebuild available somewhere? I'll manage anyways but it would make my life easier.
Thanks for your quick answer. No unfortunately, there is no ebuild I'm aware of. I would appreciate if you could try SVN trunk; as an added bonus and incentive, you'll have the media showing in the dialogs (not very useful yet) now as I think I found what was preventing it and that should be fixed. Thanks in advance. PS: please as usual attach a log =)
Created attachment 129101 [details] BD-RE Disc - 25GB - UDF - SVN trunk New log with SVN trunk. The disc is the same as before. 25GB (22.6) BD-RE with UDF file system. It does indeed show in the dialogs now. The end is me trying to burn a file at which point the disc is ejected. Ps. I whipped up a live ebuild that uses the gnome2-live eclass from git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/gnome-live.git if anybody else is interested. Ds.
Good, now the burning part. I added a change in trunk that should allow you to burn with growisofs now (so make sure you have it). Please now to create the next log file use brasero --brasero-media-debug -g > log 2>&1 Thanks for your help
cdrecord supports BluRay since two years. There should be no problem. BTW: It is important to also use a recent mkisofs to get support for larger files. ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
I recently conducted a test using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), Brasero 2.31.92-0ubuntu1 and an external Blu-Ray Multi Burner. The media tested was Memorex 4x 25GB Single Layer Recordable BD-R. $ wodim --devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (2 found) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 dev='/dev/scd0' rwrw-- : 'MATSHITA' 'DVD+-RW UJ-857G' 1 dev='/dev/scd1' rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'BD-RE BH10NS30' ------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0411:0172 MelCo., Inc. $ uname -r 2.6.35-22-generic ========================================== Disk Type Recognition Test - PASS ========================================== From what I can see in my test, using 10.10, the following issues have already been corrected: -Inserting a BD-R disc causes nautilus to recognize it as "Blank Blu-Ray R Disc" -Brasero recognizes the disc as "Blank Blu-Ray R Disc: 23.3 GB of free space" ========================================== BD-R Burning Test - FAIL ========================================== -Burning dialog has a setting for speed. It offers 8x although the maximum for the disk is 4x. Capabilities of disk are not probed. -Burning dialog has a "Options" section is blank but still has a title. Expecting this is where you would have simulate options etc. -Burning ends up with a failed attempt before starting the burn, resulting in one of the following two errors. - "Merging data is impossible with this disc" - "An internal error occurred" Attached is a combination of brasero logs as debug information. These are the output of 'brasero -g' and of 'brasero --brasero-media-debug' while testing the recognition and burning.

Currently i'm driving some tests using DVD DL and wodim is failing for me but cdrecord is doing the right job for me.
Luis, I have tried to record a 24GB ISO followed by a 13GB ISO using wodim and both attempts failed. Ubuntu does not ship with cdrtools (because of licensing issues, afaik) or cdrkit (not sure why) in its repositories. I have tried to add a few PPAs which contained the cdrtools package, but they all failed to install on a Maverick (10.10) machine. Unfortunately I cannot find a debian packages for my distro release. Instructions on how to preform this test would be very helpful.

It doesnt appear that this issue has been fixed yet, on a version that can compile on fedora 14. I get these issues from comment 16: -Burning ends up with a failed attempt before starting the burn, resulting in one of the following two errors. - "Merging data is impossible with this disc" - "An internal error occurred" I am using brasero-2.32.1. If there is a patch/fix to resolve this, i can try to back-patch to some older version ( like 2.32.1) thats runnable on fedora 14.
