pBurn 4.3.19
Ziggy,
I'm not sure whether this has been applied in pburn before, but apparently newer version of dvdauthor requires VIDEO_FORMAT variable to be exported. It should contains "ntsc" or "pal". If it is not exported, dvdauthor will fail with error message ERR: no video format specified for VMGM.

This first surfaces up on http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 993#673989 - apparently Fatdog's dvdauthor (version 0.7.0) is new enough to have this problem. Not sure whether other puppies have the problem too.
I have provided patch, this patch is applied against Pburn 3.7.7. but it should be a simple matter to apply this to 3.7.9.
The workaround is simply to do "export VIDEO_FORMAT=NTSC" or "export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL" before launching pburn.
cheers!

James the patch is not required if the dvdauthor is configured as:
configure --prefix=/usr --enable-default-video-format=PAL
It can be either PAL or NTSC as it's just specifying the default.
The default can be changed when burning.
The clue was in the install instructions in the dvdauthor source code.
------------------------Cut-------------------------------------
To compile, type
./configure
make
Then to install, type
make install
If you don't want the files installed to /usr/local/bin, then you can
specify --prefix=/usr or some other dir as a parameter to configure.
* Useful options to configure:
These options may be used to restore behaviour that was built into older
versions of DVDAuthor.
--enable-default-video-format=NTSC
--enable-default-video-format=PAL
Without one of these, there is no hard-coded default video format.
(Of course, a user- or system-specified default always takes precedence
if present.)
--enable-localize-filenames
Specify this if you want filenames to be interpreted according to your
locale setting. Without this, filenames are assumed to be in UTF-8
encoding.
configure --prefix=/usr --enable-default-video-format=PAL
It can be either PAL or NTSC as it's just specifying the default.

- Include VIDEO_FORMAT to dvdauthor for burning video. (thanks to jamesbond)
Ok, so it is possible to avoid this issue by compiling DvdAuthor smarter (thank you Grant). But the patch from jamesbond will make stuff work - whatever compile you use.
Thank you both!!!

I've used both LG and Asus internal SATA Blu-Ray burners to make data Blu-Ray disks with Pburn without any problems. In fact, Pburn is the easiest program to make data disks with that I've tried.smokey01 wrote:can anyone recommend a good internal Blu-ray burner?
I have a player, the disks and the program, but no burner.
TIA.

I am considering an LG BH14NS40.

zigbert there is a problem with your new pburn-3.7.10.pet. In produces an error and won't install in Fatdog.
Correction: The problem is with my system.
The older ones do.

It works on my Fatdog install, I used it to burn data to a CD-RW with no problems.smokey01 wrote:zigbert there is a problem with your new pburn-3.7.10.pet. In produces an error and won't install in Fatdog.

In multisession cd or dvd I can't view the list of files and folders I burned previously. The available space is detected but the list of already burned items appears to be empty, it shows only the new items I added. Then after burning the new items appear in random folders that I had recorded in a former session. I am using precise 5.4.3
This is going to take a lot of back-and-forth to untangle just what it is you tried to do from what actually happened. 
Do you mean that you added some stuff to a multisession DVD with Pburn, but that stuff isn't there when you mount the multisession DVD? Or do you mean that it is there, but stuff that used to be on the DVD has disappeared?

When you burn a CD or DVD with a Windows program you can see what files are in your burning list before actually burn them. After burning everything, if you left the DVD open to burn more later apart from the new files you are about to burn you can see the existing files burnt in the DVD too. In Pburn I can't see what is already in the DVD and in what folder I'm saving the files, everything does get burnt but I can't organize where the files are, so the next time I look into my DVD I have to search everywhere till I find a single file. Some files are even burned in folders named after the original folders where they were stored, instead of the directories I tried to specify, or at times I get everything burned into one folder when I wanted to burn to the root directory. Allright, my explanation is a disaster, like my DVDsFlash wrote:This is going to take a lot of back-and-forth to untangle just what it is you tried to do from what actually happened.

Ah, I see. Well, you can mount the DVD and see what is on it. I'm not sure if Pburn requires the DVD to be unmounted before it will let you proceed. Probably it does, in which case the ROX window showing what is on the DVD will close, so that doesn't help much. 
However there is an easy way to add new files to the multisession DVD so they are easy to find: put them in a folder (directory) that has exactly the same name as the folder that is already on the DVD. Then use Pburn's + to add the whole folder containing the new file(s) to its burn list and burn the folder to the multisession DVD. When Pburn is finished burning the folder containing the new file(s), mount the DVD and open the folder. You will find all the files that you ever put in it, including the one(s) you just added.
So, if you use the approach of first putting the files in a folder with exactly the same name as a folder that is already on the DVD, then burn that new folder to the DVD, you can have the DVD mounted while you create the new folder. You'll have to unmount the DVD before running Pburn.
Does that help? I highly recommend using a rewritable DVD until you're comfortable with multisession.
