Post subject:  problem with burning recordings to dvd
I'm trying to burn some recordings to dvd-r from mythweb. I've updated the 'dvd burn' to the latest and after I select the recordings and choose the 'burn to dvd' option, it processes the videos and the last part of the log states:

Code:
STAT: fixed 14 VOBUS

I have two DVD drives, both on the second IDE channel, drive 0 should be the dvd +/- r/rw and drive 1 is dvd-rom/cd-r/rw combo. I had a blank dvd-r in the dvd burner at the time. I'm thinking I have to tell it which DVD drive to use in a file somewhere??

Any help is appreciated.

I figured it out!

This is what I did incase anyone else has this problem:

Code:
cat /var/log/dmesg |grep -i dvd


From the output of the above, I found that my 2 dvd drives are /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd

/dev/dvd was linked to /dev/hdd, which is the dvd-rom, not the burner.

I did the following:

Code:
rm /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
chmod 666 /dev/hdc
reboot


After that, I tried mythburn and it worked with no problems.

I hope this helps someone.
