Re: Suggestions for DVD/CD writing software?
I took everyone's advice and am giving k3b a try. I picked up a few
DVD+R and DVD+RW discs (my drive supports both + and - protocols).
I installed k3b with aptitude (I'm running Sarge). I started it up,
and it's giving me an error/warning message which I'm not sure how to
fix. It says the following:
Unable to find dvd+rw-format executable
K3b uses dvd+rw-format to format DVD-RWs and DVD+RWs.
Solution: Install the dvd+rw-tools package.
According to aptitude I have dvd+rw-tools installed. I checked
/usr/bin and I see dvd+rw-format listed. I started up K3bSetup2 and
checked, /usr/bin is in the search path, yet it still can't find
dvd+rw-format. I tried added /usr/bin/dvd+rw-format to the search
path, still no luck.
I tried searching through some of the past archived post from this
group but didn't have much luck. I've only been receiving this list
for a week or so, so I apologize if there is a known fix for this that
everyone but me knows. :)
Does anyone have any suggestions for me to get k3b full working?
If I'm doomed and must use the console to burn cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r, and
dvd-rw's, does anyone have some linkage to a nice tutorial describing
how to do it?
Thanks so much for your thoughts.
