Input/Output error recording DVDs with k3b

[microft.pt]

As the title says, i get Input/Output error every time I try to record a DVD with k3b.
However, I don't have any problems recordng CDs.

Could I have anything to do with me running it on a 2.4.29 kernel (slackware 10.1 default)?

Does kernel 2.6 have better suport for dvd recording? should I change?

Thnx!

Yes, the problem is probabilly your kernel (or your recorder...) but never k3b (cause it dont even burn, just a front end, cdrecorder do everything).
You may use the 2.6.x series or try in other OS and see if it is not a recorder problem (try FreeBSD, the only with REAL recording) and if you get no error msg, it is the kernel, if you ge, i am sorry for you recorder

Oh, and make sure you have the dvd-rw+tools instaled and confugured (it is common to forget tham:P)

what kind of configuration do I have to do to dvd-rw tools??
Is there any program I can run to configure it?

What about www.google.com/linux for this time? :P

That problem was fixed, the new problem is that I allways get this eror when trying to record a DVD.

:-( unable to PREVENT MEDIA REMOVAL: Operation not permitted

i've read about this problem on some web-pages, but didn't find a way to solve it.

any ideas?!

This patch fixed the problem on my system.
