  • dvd authoring broken on MG7

    From faeychild@2:250/1 to All on Thu Oct 3 05:21:40 2019


    This may sound a bit extreme, but

    I had some one ask if I could put a video on dvd for them.
    I have done this many times- it's easy.

    So I fired up Dvdstyler and created the dvd.
    Unfortunately non of the menu's (buttons) on the final render are
    interactive.

    After much dinking around

    I returned to MG6 and installed MG6 on an old box and successfully
    created the dvd.
    I dual installed MG7 on the same old box and once again failed to create
    the dvd.

    MG6 worked MG7 does not

    I also tried 2mandvd with the same result.

    A library problem perhaps

    regards

    Have had issues with it after burning when it would crash the entire system
    and only a full reboot would suffice but have not had to use it since installing MGA 7.1.

    Run the app from a terminal and see if you get messages to provide
    in a bug report.

    Yes! The only quirk I got with K3b was a complaint about UTF-8.
    It never crashed.

    The first time it wouldn't continue to render at all

    When started again from the terminal it ran and the messages were the

    After morning coffee I will try both on the old box where I can dual
    boot 6 and 7

    I must install MG6 on the new box with MG7 and go from there. switching cabling from box to box is a drag

    Yes!  The only quirk I got with K3b was a complaint about UTF-8.
    It never crashed.

    another thing that is does- it never finishes the burn, the byte bit
    count is always short.


    And then it waits for a disturbing length of time until finally
    announcing success and opening the drawer.

    If it were I, that would suggest I need to install the canberra-gtk rpm. Hopefully it will drag in the canberra-common rpm.

    You sure it is not MiB vs MB? (Ie base 2 vs base 10).

    It has finished transfering the data into the buffers ( the software one
    and the one on the dvd writer,) and is waiting for them to finish
    writing to the physical DVD.

    That stupid message has been there for at least 5 years for a variety of probgrams. From all I can tell canberra-gtk does absolutely nothing, but
    Mageia keeps compiling the programs to pretend they need it.

    I am pretty sure I remember it from last century.
    I like saying that :-)

    Google says the module that takes GUI events from GTK+ (like pressing a button, or minimizing a window) and plays some configured sound.. it's a
    bit of a third leg KDE.

    Later I Will see if MG6 will install alongside MG7
    It works the other way around, MG7 installs along side MG6 and if so it
    will remove the need to fire up the old box.

    I did a test burn, it's MiB




    It has finished transfering the data into the buffers ( the software one
    and the one on the dvd writer,) and is waiting for them to finish
    writing to the physical DVD.



    The burn stopped on 97%

    1,910.0 MiB of 1,952.0 MiB and stays there, after a minute K3b finishes

    Something else it will do is format a R-W disc. Claim that the erase
    failed and then burn it anyway..

    Ignoring erroneous error messages is just something you get used to
