dvdrecord problems - pioneer dvr-105bk, lg gsa-4040b w/dvd-rw disc

[Mads V. Pedersen]

Mike,

I think the your problem is that you have missed that mkisofs makes a 
cd/dvd image from the contents of one or more directories. I could be 
wrong, but my assuption is based on that test.tar.gz more looks like it 
is a file.

If what you want is a dvd that just contains the one file test.tar.gz 
then create a subdirectory and move it there and give the subdirectory 
as input to mkisofs, e.g.

mkdir subdir
mv test.tar.gz subdir
mkisofs -r subdir | dvdrecord -dao -v fs=6m speed=2 dev=0,0 -

if what you want is actually a dvd containing what is inside the archive 
you would instead do something like

mkdir subdir; cd subdir
tar zxvf ../test.tar.gz
cd ..
mkisofs -r subdir | dvdrecord -dao -v fs=6m speed=2 dev=0,0 -

If you have enough free disk space it can be a good idea to test the 
output of mkisofs before creating coasters until you are comfortable 
with it. E.g.

mkisofs -r subdir -o dvdimage.iso
mount -o loop dvdimage.iso /mnt
ls -l /mnt

if that looks OK you just go on to
umount /mnt
dvdrecord -dao -v fs=6m speed=2 dev=0,0 dvdimage.iso
