It is not that simple. The same burn that failed with growisofs here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/+source/dvd+rw- tools/+bug/1113679/comments/13
finishes correctly with cdrecord. Both burns where done with K3B in the same system. K3b can use any of growisofs or cdrecord. I used 2 blank BD-R from the same spindle and burned exacly the same 3 files into them. I have burned ~ 50 BD-R using K3B with cdrecord and they all burn flawlessly at 4X (1 GB/s). K3B using growisofs (besides never burning correctly), burns at 2X (and reports it as 4X) while keeping the burner's hardware buffer below 50%. K3B with drecord keeps is at 97+% all the time while burning. Basically growisofs is useless for BD-R. CDrecord should be the default or at least an easy to use option. Right now (and since BD-R where invented) you need to add a PPA and use K3B to actually burn BD-R. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424215 Title: growisofs BD-R overflow error despite capacity check To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvd+rw-tools/+bug/1424215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
